From December 2–5, 2025, the China International Maritime Exhibition opened in Shanghai, gathering over 2,200 companies from 40+ countries and showcasing the deep integration of digitalization and security in the maritime sector.

ASI, a leader in ship cybersecurity, partnered with Fortinet at the exhibition to present professional ship cybersecurity solutions to a global audience. On December 3, ASI and Fortinet signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly advance cybersecurity solutions for shipowners and shipyards worldwide.

In collaboration with DNV, the trio launched an integrated E26/E27 ship cybersecurity solution, combining technology, security, and standards. This alliance provides comprehensive protection across the full ship lifecycle—design, construction, and operation—aligning with IMO cyber risk management requirements and moving the industry from passive defense to active immunity.

ASI also made history by receiving the world’s first Type Approval Certificate for a ship cybersecurity network switch from the China Classification Society (CCS), highlighting its technological leadership and industry recognition.

Looking forward, ASI will continue innovating with Fortinet, DNV, and global partners, delivering E26/E27-compliant solutions to empower smart ship upgrades and drive the safe, sustainable development of the maritime industry.
