It is not intended to be exhaustive, but please let me know if you are aware of other public and corroborated cases. The aim is not to single out a company or a state, but to raise awareness of incidents that have already occurred and, when known, their consequences. I will add more over time. As always, attribution and sources should be treated with caution, as should the apparent increase in the public number of incidents. I am also gradually adding submarine cable outages.</p>Maritime information systemshttps://maritimeinfosec.org/maritime-information-systems/Fri, 26 Oct 2018 14:08:42 +0000Olivier JACQhttps://maritimeinfosec.org/maritime-information-systems/

In this article, I explain in more detail what a maritime information system is, attempting to classify them as clearly as possible.

Maritime information systems can refer to different types of infrastructure:

  • ships:
    • merchant vessels
    • warships
    • recreational vessels
    • fishing vessels
    • scientific / hydro-oceanographic / fisheries research vessels
    • barges
  • ports and naval infrastructures:
    • container loading/unloading systems, smartports, logistics systems
    • Port and Cargo Community Systems
    • cranes and gantries
    • dock and basin management systems
    • locks
    • pipelines
  • other onshore facilities:
    • maritime informatics of signal stations, MRCC (Maritime Rescue Coordination Centers), ship command and management centers
  • offshore installations:
    • drilling platforms
    • Marine Renewable Energies (MRE): wind turbines, tidal turbines…

Next, to make things easier to understand, I tend to divide systems into two major families: “IT” systems (Information Technology), which are fairly similar to what can be found in other sectors, and “OT” systems (Operational Technology), which, to simplify, could be described as “operational systems”, more specific to the maritime information domain.
