A merican Club Circular No. 10 /20 1 MARCH 23, 2020 CIRCULAR NO. 10/20 TO MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION Dear Member: AMERICAN CLUB PUBLICATION: CYBER AWARENESS Your Managers are pleased to announce the release of the American Club’s latest publication: Cyber Awareness. This booklet is the fifth in a series of loss prevention literature the Club has published over recent years. The need for cyber awareness in the operation of ships has become an increasingly urgent focus of the industry over recent years. This focus has necessarily responded to the growing technological complexity of ships and the electronic systems used to operate them. Rising complexity often – but not always – implies the expansion of possibilities for things to go wrong, particularly if the human interface with the systems in question is not equal to the task of maintaining their integrity. Cyber Awareness is presented in an easy-to-read format making serious issues memorable by an undercurrent of humor. Members are encouraged to refer to the Club’s website where the document can be found in pdf format at: https://www.american-club.com/page/comics Hardcopies of Cyber Awareness will be made available to Members free of charge upon request in the coming weeks along with versions in both traditional and new Mandarin in electronic form. Such requests, and any other inquiries associated with this publication, should be directed to Ms. Danielle Centeno, Assistant Vice President – Loss Prevention & Survey Compliance, at danielle.centeno@american-club.com or Dr. William Moore, Senior Vice President at william.moore@americanclub.com. Yours faithfully, Joseph E.M. Hughes, Chairman & CEO Shipowners Claims Bureau, Inc., Managers for THE AMERICAN CLUB
