ABS awarded a CS-Ready Notation to a Sembcorp Marine jack-up drilling rig built to its Pacific Class 400 design. The CS-Ready Notation combines new features as it is the first-of-its-kind issued to an offshore facility. It requires that functions and connections are specifically characterized so the owner can control access to connections and systems.
ABS’s FCI Cyber Risk model quantifies cyber risk, setting out three characteristics such as functions concerning the critical systems like navigation and propulsion, connections which means digital networks connecting functions and identities meaning people or devices accessing connections.

Mr. Simon Kuik, Sembcorp Marine Vice President and Head of Research and Development, pointed out that Sembcorp Marine is very proud to be the first company to achieve the ABS CS-Ready Notation on an offshore asset.
