Preface

It was a dark and stormy night[1]. Imagine that the following communication takes place between a fictitious cargo ship and the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) at a fictitious port:[2]
“VTS Port Neptune, VTS Port Neptune, this is motor vessel LADY P.”
“VTS Port Neptune, go ahead, LADY P.”
“Port, we are approximately three miles from the farewell buoy and are experiencing IT systems problems onboard. We have several status alarms sounding without cause, and AIS and radar show targets in our path, although we see no other vessels in our area. We are requesting transit to the cargo berth and will fix these problems at the pier.”
After a few moments, the Port responds:
“LADY P, the Captain of the Port deems your vessel unseaworthy at this time and you are denied entry. A cyber response team will be dispatched to assist your vessel.”

The Impact

What just happened? Why was this vessel denied entry into a commercial port, when the problem appears to be with its onboard instruments? And what is this cyber response team?
