Marine Cyber Insurance & Maritime Cyber Risk Coverage
As the global maritime industry becomes increasingly digitized, vessels, ports, terminals, and marine supply chains face escalating cybersecurity risks. Integrated navigation systems, onboard networks, cargo management platforms, and port operating systems create critical exposures that are not fully addressed by traditional marine insurance policies.
Marine Cyber Insurance from Janus Assurance Re is a specialized, stand-alone insurance solution designed to address maritime cyber risk across shipowners, vessel operators, charterers, ports, terminals, offshore service providers, and marine logistics companies. This coverage responds to cyber incidents that disrupt vessel operations, compromise navigation or communications systems, impair port infrastructure, or expose sensitive operational and commercial data.
Our Marine Cyber Insurance offering is aligned with International Maritime Organization (IMO) cyber risk management guidelines and recognized cybersecurity frameworks applicable to maritime operations.
