The Cyber-Physical Convergence in Modern Vessel Systems: Risks, Frameworks, and the Path to Resilience

As vessels become increasingly digitalised — with ECDIS, AIS, engine control systems, and crew IT networks all converging — the maritime industry faces a cyber threat landscape that the sector is only beginning to understand. This paper maps the attack surface, analyses key incident patterns, and proposes a layered resilience framework aligned with IMO and IEC 62443 standards.
