Hyundai Heavy obtains cybersecurity certification for a VLCC

The South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Heavy Industries has announced that it obtained a cybersecurity certification from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) scheduled to be delivered to a European client in November 2018 (possibly the Greek company Okeanis?).

There are few details available, but the certification reportedly reflects work carried out on the security of the vessel’s industrial control systems.
