Hanwha Ocean has secured approval in principle (AIP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for its new cybersecurity system for floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units.
This solution aims to protect critical infrastructure and operations, enhancing security for offshore facilities.
In collaboration with SIGA Data Security, Hanwha Ocean designed an operational technology (OT) cybersecurity solution specifically to defend vital OT systems against cyber threats, thereby improving the overall cyber resilience of FPSO units.
Hanwha Ocean Offshore president Philippe Levy said: “Receiving this AIP from ABS marks a significant step forward for Hanwha Ocean. It underscores our commitment to innovation and operational resilience in offshore environments.
“Our strategic partnership with ABS and SIGA enables us to offer validated, leading-edge cybersecurity solutions that provide enhanced process-level visibility, real-time threat detection, and effective remote operational oversight, all fully aligned with stringent offshore industry compliance standards and segmentation architectures.”
The AIP was granted following ABS's thorough design reviews, ensuring compliance with class and statutory requirements.
This cybersecurity initiative is part of a multi-year offshore technology collaboration agreement between ABS and Hanwha Ocean, focusing on innovative projects in sustainability, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and operational technology cybersecurity.
ABS Global Offshore senior vice president Miguel Hernandez said: “This is an exciting achievement for both organisations. Together, under this agreement, ABS and Hanwha Ocean are using our collective resources and extensive experience to address challenges unique to offshore energy production.
“As connectivity improves for offshore assets, the cyber risks increase. This new OT solution promises to help operators address vulnerabilities in their critical operations systems.”
In February this year, Hanwha Power Systems and Hanwha Ocean partnered with Baker Hughes to develop ammonia gas turbines for ships.
Announced at the Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence, Italy, the collaboration aims to create low-carbon propulsion systems by 2028.
