Acquiring the World’s First* ABS CyberSafety® Product Design Assessment (PDA)
Certification for Marine Vessel Engine Remote Control Systems

Nabtesco Corporation (headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kazumasa Kimura)acquired CyberSafety® Product Design Assessment (PDA) certification from the American Bureau ofShipping (hereinafter “ABS”) for its marine vessel engine remote control systems (M-800 series) inJanuary 2023. The ABS is a public testing and certification body for marine vessels, and by being granted
the certification from the Bureau, Nabtesco became the first recipient of ABS CyberSafety® PDA
certification for marine vessel equipment.
Recently in the marine vessel industry, there have been more attempts to develop ships equipped withadvanced control technologies, including autonomous ships. However, on the other hand, the number ofcyberattacks targeting ships has been increasing, making it even more important to implement anticyberattack measures for marine vessel equipment. Nabtesco’s marine vessel engine remote control
system is designed to enable the remote control of the main engine and main propulsion equipment(propellers) of a ship from the ship’s bridge and/or control room, and ensuring cyber security is arequirement that should be met for higher navigation safety.
Nabtesco, based on its early recognition of the importance of ensuring cyber security, had been striving
for the acquisition of the ABS CyberSafety® PDA certification and became the world’s first recipient of
the certification for marine vessel equipment. Going forward, Nabtesco will work to meet therequirements set by the International Association of Classification Societies and contribute to laborsaving and environmental impact reduction for ships by developing cyber-secure autonomous navigation
technologies and new environment-friendly products.
