IAPH will attend the 111th meeting of the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 111) 13-22nd May 2026. At this session, IAPH will have the opportunity to introduce the latest IAPH Cyber Resilience Guidelines for Emerging Technologies. Following agreement at the IMO Facilitation Committee (FAL 50) in March to take note of and disseminate the guidelines, MSC will also be invited to take note of IAPH’s submission and include a reference to its guidelines under section 4.3 of the IMO Guidelines on maritime cyber risk management (MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3/Rev.3). Also on the agenda is a proposal by the USA on measures to enhance maritime security. Specifically, this proposal urges Member States and the IMO to consider developing additional maritime security measures within existing IMO instruments, namely the ISPS Code, to better address evolving security threats. Given the recent discussions at the IAPH Technical Committee Days in Singapore on the ISPS Code, IAPH will be following this discussion closely to assess the appetite among Member States on the willingness to make such amendments. A full report on the outcomes will be disseminated to members in due course.
