Update on 11 Apr 2024:
The revised FAL Convention has requirements for the member states to fulfil their obligations to implement mandatory single window systems by 1 January 2024. The implementation process seems slow with many IMO member states; still, available experiences highlighted the need for the development of a model law on cybersecurity with an explanatory note, to facilitate Contracting Governments in need of such a legal framework, to get their MSW systems managed and operated in a cybersecure way. It was also emphasized that such a process should take into account the revised Guidelines on maritime cyber risk management under discussion by MSC and the FAL Committee, to amend MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3/Rev.2.
