On May 22nd, 2025, our Managing Partner, Stergios Konstantinou, was honored to participate as a speaker at the Marlink Cybersecurity Event, held at the One&Only Aesthesis in Athens.
The event gathered leading professionals from the maritime and technology sectors to explore the critical issue of cybersecurity in shipping, a topic of growing importance in both regulatory and operational contexts.
Key Topics Addressed by Stergios Konstantinou:
🔹 Implementing UR E26 Onboard
A legal analysis of the new IACS Unified Requirement and the challenges of ensuring contractual clarity, accountability, and compliance throughout the implementation process.
🔹 Beyond Compliance: Building True Cyber Resilience
The role of legal frameworks such as GDPR and NIS2 in embedding cybersecurity and data protection into operational culture—from legacy fleets to new builds.
🔹 Choosing the Right Technology Partner
What companies should look for in a cybersecurity vendor: regulatory alignment, audit rights, incident response capabilities, and contractual safeguards.
We believe that cross-disciplinary cooperation between legal, technical, and operational experts is key to achieving long-term resilience in the maritime sector.
We would like to thank Marlink for their kind invitation and for hosting a well-organized and forward-thinking event.
