The Swedish Club partners with DNV Cyber and CyberOwl

DNV Cyber and CyberOwl, a DNV company, have partnered with The Swedish Club, a provider of marine insurance, to provide members with regular cyber threat insight and risk updates. The partnership brings together cyber resilience expertise, operational insight and marine cyber insurance to support shipowners as they manage cyber risk across vessel and shoreside operations. 

Cyber threats in shipping continue to develop in step with greater connectivity across vessels, shoreside systems and supply chains. For shipowners, this creates risk exposure that can affect operations, safety and business continuity. Access to practical insight, preparedness support and experience from maritime operations helps make that risk easier to understand and manage.  

Through the partnership, DNV Cyber and CyberOwl will provide The Swedish Club's members with regular cyber threat insight and risk updates. This includes developments in the threat landscape affecting shipping, vulnerabilities and attack methods relevant to maritime operations, lessons from incidents and market developments, and practical guidance that supports preparedness and resilience. The offering complements The Swedish Club's marine cyber insurance support. 

For The Swedish Club's approximately 1,000 insured vessels, the partnership gives members access to cyber expertise, insight and guidance through an established insurance relationship. This supports stronger awareness, preparedness and resilience across their operations. 

Tord Nilsson, Regional Director and Head of Reinsurance at The Swedish Club, said: “Cyber risk is increasingly becoming an operational challenge for shipping, not just a technical issue. The industry’s growing dependence on digital systems means that cyber incidents have the potential to affect vessel operations, safety, and continuity in entirely new ways.

By working together with CyberOwl and DNV Cyber, we are strengthening the support and insight available to our members as they navigate an increasingly complex risk environment. This initiative is about helping members improve awareness, preparedness, and resilience through practical and relevant information.

Daniel Ng, CEO of CyberOwl, added: "The heightened state of geopolitical tensions and the persistent rise of cyber incidents at sea means that decisions about cyber risk management and insurance have become a multi-disciplinary problem. The real value of bringing together the expertise of CyberOwl, DNV Cyber and the Swedish Club is to provide shipowners with better guidance, clarity and awareness."
