Cyber Notification Desk & IT disruption reporting obligation
The Harbour Master of Rotterdam established the Port Cyber Notification Desk on 11 June 2018. Companies in the Port of Rotterdam area are asked to report large-scale IT disruptions at their company. They should make this report to the Port Cyber Notification Desk. A reporting obligation applies to companies that fall under the Port Security Act Regulation (EC) no. 725/2004 and companies that are required to comply with ISPS.
If the IT disruption has one of the three following consequences, you should contact the Port Cyber Notification Desk immediately on +31 (0) 252 1005.
-
It is no longer possible to carry out the measures from the Port Facility Security Plan completely.
-
Interruptions to processes for the receipt and departure of vessels.
-
Interruptions to processes regarding freight throughput.
The reporting enables the Harbour Master and security and other partners to determine whether measures are required to support security in the port area. Extensive information about the reporting obligation is given at the bottom of this page under ‘downloads’ in the ‘Port Cyber Notification Desk Policy Document’.
