e5 Lab Inc. (hereinafter, e5 Lab) and ClassNK have signed a joint research agreement oncyber security. For their first joint research project, they will conduct a proof of concept(PoC) on “Marindows”, a comprehensive digital platform for ships being developed by e5Lab.
e5 Lab is developing a comprehensive digital platform for ships (Marindows) that consists ofconnection and applications necessary for the robotization of ships.
Marindows not only significantly improves the safety, productivity and efficiency of ships,
but also enables them to evolve at the speed that software evolves, rather than at the speed ofhardware as in the past. With OTA (Over the Air) updates, Marindows will continue toevolve to become safer, smarter, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.
The comments regarding this joint research are as follows.
ClassNK, Executive Vice President, Director of Innovation Development Division, Mr. Hirofumi
TakanoWe are very pleased to sign this joint research agreement with e5 Lab, who is engaged in cuttingedge digital initiatives, and be involved in such an advanced project. Cyber security measures must

devices and systems on board. Through this joint research, we would like to verify the best practices
that the Society has jointly established with cooperating organizations, together with the e5 Labexperts, and use the knowledge obtained to establish standards for comprehensive digital platform forships.
