Firewalls - IT and Communication Equipment

Marine firewalls are network security appliances used to protect vessel IT, operational technology, automation, navigation and communication networks. They control traffic between trusted and untrusted network zones using policies, routing, VPN, intrusion prevention and logging.

ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Firewalls for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Applicable references may include IEC 62443 for industrial automation cybersecurity, IMO MSC.1/Circ.1526 for maritime cyber-risk management, IACS UR E26 for vessel cyber resilience and IACS UR E27 for onboard systems and equipment. Product-specific approvals must be verified with the manufacturer.
Class Approval	Marine type approval is model-, configuration- and project-specific. DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas and ClassNK may accept or approve network security equipment as part of an approved vessel cybersecurity or automation system. Verify the current certificate before procurement.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Install at defined network boundaries in a dry, ventilated, access-controlled location. Use approved rack, cabinet or mounting hardware, separate IT and OT zones, redundant power where required, and documented firewall rules. Confirm environmental rating, EMC compatibility, network interfaces and class requirements.
Maintenance Tips	Review logs and rules regularly, remove unused services, back up configurations, apply vendor security updates through an approved change process, test VPN access and verify redundant links and power supplies. Maintain current network diagrams and configuration records.
Safety Notes	Only authorized personnel should change firewall policies or firmware. Back up the configuration before changes and use controlled maintenance windows to avoid loss of navigation, automation or communication services. Do not connect unknown devices to shipboard networks.
