Cyber-SHIP Lab, situated at the University of Plymouth,[1][2] is a research facility dedicated to researching and address cybersecurity threats in the maritime industry.[3] Professor Kevin Jones is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation at the university and Principal Investigator at the lab.[4]

The lab is able to create realistic physical twins of networks of ship equipment to test for vulnerabilities against maritime control systems.[5][6] The lab works with industry to ensure the security of shipping infrastructure.[7][8]

History

[edit]

The Cyber-SHIP Lab was founded in 2019 as a collaborative initiative between the University of Plymouth and industry partners.[9][10] It was funded by Research England.[11] The lab was initially given three years funding which expired in 2022.[1] The lab cost £3 million to construct.[12]

In 2021, the lab partnered with the Royal Navy on marine-tech projects including the Project Hecla, originally started in 2018.[13][14]

In 2023[15] and 2024,[16] the lab co-organised a symposium on maritime cybersecurity and resilience along with the International Maritime Organization.[17] The event was held in London.[18] The lab continued to organise events in 2026, partnering with the Canadian Department of National Defence to run training courses.[19]
