Cyber crime is mentioned by still more players as an increasing threat in the industry, and the topic has now landed on the desk of the IMO, where the threat featured on the agenda at the latest meeting of the UN organization's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC).

Tvedt, Special Adviser at the Danish Maritime Authority, who participated as the Danish representative at the meeting in the MSC, which took place last week.
