Jana Marine Jack-Up Barges First in the World to Receive ABS Cyber Resilience Notation for Existing Vessels

ABS issued the CR-Ex cyber resilience notation to three Self-Elevating Units from Jana Marine Services, an industry first.

The offshore units, JANA 505, 508 and 509, are the first Offshore Units to be awarded the notation that incorporates elements of IACS UR E26 Cyber Resilience (CR) requirements into existing (Ex) vessels to enhance cyber safety.

These units align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 – the Kingdom’s plan for sustained economic diversification, supporting local content and developing innovative opportunities for the future.

“This is an important achievement for Jana Marine and ABS that advances the safety and operational standards in offshore operations. As digital connectivity on vessels expands, so too does the cyber threat landscape. ABS is committed to leading the industry in cyber resilience—supporting clients with robust strategies to safeguard critical marine and offshore systems in an increasingly connected world,” said Gareth Burton, ABS Vice President, Technology.
