The Situation

Rising Risk in a Digitized Fleet Environment

 

Oil and gas shipping is the backbone of global energy logistics. Every day, thousands of vessels move crude oil, LNG, and refined products through the world's maritime corridors. But as the sector modernizes, adopting more connected systems, digital tools, and third-party services, the attack surface expands. Cybersecurity risk no longer ends at the port. For shipping operators, vulnerability management is now a strategic priority. It is essential to protecting vessel integrity and ensuring the uninterrupted energy flow.

The Challenge

Fragmented Oversight, Delayed Response

 

Velkan Shipping faced challenges that are widespread across the industry:

 

  • Infrequent, manual reporting
    Vulnerability assessments across dozens of vessels were infrequent and slow. Teams relied on static reports, which delayed action and left the fleet exposed to fast-moving threats.

  • Siloed security practices
    With a mix of onboard teams and third-party vendors, each vessel followed its own approach. This inconsistency made it nearly impossible to enforce unified security policies or identify systemic gaps.

  • Limited network visibility
    Without specialized security expertise or real-time data, vulnerabilities often went unseen or unaddressed. Critical insights were buried in reports that never reached the right decision-makers.

 

 

 

Why It Works

 

In a sector where downtime is costly and disruption can ripple across supply chains, real-time vulnerability management is essential. Omny empowers shipping operators to replace fragmented reporting with continuous visibility, align stakeholders across the fleet, and respond to threats before they impact operations. That is how we help protect the future of energy logistics, vessel by vessel.
