What is
UR E26?
IACS UR E26 is the global mandatory cybersecurity standard for ships. It establishes baseline cyber resilience requirements for vessels over 500 GT, covering identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery.
Compliance is verified by your Classification Society during annual and renewal surveys — and non-compliance risks suspension or withdrawal of class.
