Major additions and changes in IMCA Audits

Due to recent changes and amendments by IMCA with regard to IMCA Audits, we would like to draw attention to a newly added section concerning data protection and cyber security.

With respect to this section in the IMCA Report and the requested standards vessels have to fulfill further requirements.

We assume that vessel owners/operators should expect more findings and also more time for audits and follow-up which we also have to take into account as surveyors for inspections, office work and follow-up.
