BIMCO Cyber Security 1.7: Relationship between the shipowner and the agent

Ship agents exchange sensitive, financial and port coordination information continuously with owners, operators, terminals, port services and port state control and act as an extension of the company, particularly in tramp trades; they can be targeted (for example around equipment deliveries), and wire fraud, false appointments, ransomware and hacking call for shared cyber strategies and quality standards between owners and agents. An example incident shows ransomware reaching an owner's business network through phishing from two agents, underlining supply-chain cooperation and mandatory phishing training.
