NAVTOR News
 We are proud to be nominated for the SMART4SEA EUROPORT E-Navigation Award! Our innovative NavBox solution with ‘cyber secure’ certification (IEC 61162-460 Gateway) from DNV GL has been nominated in leading industry title SMART4SEA’s annual awards scheme, competing with three other nominees for the coveted e-Navigation prize. The cyber-secure NavBox, which automates the distribution and updates of digital charts, publications and other navigational data, guarantees both complete regulatory compliance and security for an increasingly digitised generation of shipowners and operators.
NavBox is a key component of our market-leading e-Navigation proposition, so ensuring its resilience against any form of rogue cyber activity was a clear priority for us. During the past two years, we have identified a worrying increase in cybercriminal activity. As shipping becomes increasingly digitised, great benefits are unlocked in terms of efficiencies, intelligence and decision making, but a new risk environment also emerges. That is of particular concern to NAVTOR, dedicated to developing innovative e-Navigation solutions, which rely on the collation, analysis and sharing of data. With this in mind, we have devised the industry’s most robust, reliable and cyber-secure solution with NavBox. NavBox offers a range of security features including an encrypted connection – transferring data in a format only recognised by NAVTOR software – CRC checks, the non-transferral of executable files (a key source of malware) and communication through secure servers. The unit also operates as a ‘black box’, with no screen, keyboard or mouse, diminishing risk from human interaction. NAVTOR designed NavBox to slash administration duties for navigators, allowing for greater efficiency and resource use, while ensuring that the very latest charts and publications are always available on-board, leading to total regulatory compliance. In addition to the vessel-based benefits, NavBox also provides shore-based teams with a full insight into chart usage, equating to more effective cost control and fleet management. The solution is available as PC software or as a separate hardware box that connects to a vessel ECDIS.
