CLASS
CERTIFICATES
SIREHNA Dynamic Positioning System and Autopilot are certified by Bureau Veritas, witnessing their compliance to international standards (DP1/DP2).
Sirehna DP systems are also compliant with all classification societies (DNV, RINA, ABS, Lloyds, NK...) and can be certified on demand for every single specific project.
CYBER
RESILIENCE
In 2024, IACS (International Association of Classification Societies), addresses the growing risk of cyber resilience onboard, and the importance to focus on cyber threats and attacks that could compromise operations, safety and data integrity.
To address the need to enhance the cyber resilience of ships, last year IACS published UR E26 “Cyber Resilience of Ships”, and UR E27, “Cyber Resilience of On-Board Systems and Equipment”, which applied to new ships from 1 January 2024.
SIREHNA DP system are cyber secured in design and fully compliant with the IACS UR E27. The software and hardware design of the DP systems benefits from SIREHNA's work in the naval defense sector, ensuring an advanced level of security in line with the new regulations stemming from the IACS's work.
