ABSTRACT Ships and ports are increasingly connected to each other through cyberspace. This connectivity streamlines many aspects of maritime business, but also exposes maritime operators and administrations to new types of risk including hacking and outage. The maritime industry has been slow to realize the implications of this new environment within which it operates, and now lags behind other industries (like aviation) when it comes to cyber risk mitigation and regulation. We argue that the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), alongside its members, urgently needs to create robust and resilient cybersecurity regulations. We suggest that the IMO should consider creating a standalone Cyber Code, based on a framework created by previous IMO Codes such as the Polar Code. Since the IMO uses Codes as a legally binding instrument, this would help to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of the maritime industry in the face of threats from cyberspace.

有效的海事网络安全监管——网络代码案例

摘要 通过网络空间，船舶和港口之间的联系日益紧密。这种连接简化了海事业务的许多方面，但也使海事运营商和管理部门面临新型风险，包括黑客攻击和中断。海运业在意识到其运营所在的新环境的影响方面进展缓慢，现在在网络风险缓解和监管方面落后于其他行业（如航空）。我们认为，国际海事组织 (IMO) 与其成员一起迫切需要制定强大且有弹性的网络安全法规。我们建议 IMO 应考虑根据以前的 IMO 规则（例如极地规则）创建的框架创建一个独立的网络规则。由于 IMO 使用守则作为具有法律约束力的文书，
