%X As the maritime sector embraces more technology to increase
efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and adapt to meet modern challenges, cyber
and cyber-physical safety become a more significant issue. However,
unfortunately, much of past research view cyber-security issues in
transportation as primarily information technology problems. This paper designs
and uses a case study to illustrate how cyber-security and physical safety
should be viewed together, cyber and physical (i.e. cyber-physical), when considering ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore interactions. While there is some scenario designing,
this case study is built with real port data and ship systems to demonstrate a
real-world cyber-attack on a ship. It shows plausible physical effects that
affect the safety of those involved. This case study is also made realistic
with a novel hybrid cyber range and hardware testbed environment, designed to
examine the different effects a ship-based cyber-attack could potentially have
on a port. This informs several solutions, technical and social, that could
enhance cyber-physical safety in marine transportation.
