Modern bridge systems and advanced ships technologies could be vulnerable to a cyber-attack, says the new report out by Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS), which discussed the rising concern that ships do not have sufficient cyber protection.
Automatic identification systems (AIS) are used for tracking and identification by vessel traffic services, which exchange data with ports, coast guards and nearby vessels.

A ship’s position, course and speed are displayed on ECDIS (electronic chart and display and information system).
