Taking  into  account  the  intensification  of 
technological  development  in  the  maritime  industry, 
figure  5.10  shows  the  elements  of  the  external 
environment  and  the  relationship  between  the 
maritime  cybersecurity  management  system  using 
maritime  autonomous  surface  ships.  In  this  case,  the 
ship and port facility safety management systems that 
have  been  extended  to  include  cybersecurity  issues, 
disappeared.  This  is  due  to  the  assumption  that  this 
system  will  support  MASS  3  and  4,  which  level  of 
autonomy  will  require  the  organization  of  remote 
operation centers and consideration of response in the 
event of disruption to the MASS operating system, as 
well as disruption to the remote operation center itself. 
New  elements  have  been  included  in  the  MASS 
maritime  transportation  cybersecurity  management 
system  to  enable  operational  activities  at  the 
appropriate  level  of  MASS  navigation  safety  as 
navigation safety in the body of water on which MASS, 
as well as conventional ships, will operate. Also, when 
MASS  enters  service,  automation  and  autonomy  are 
increased  at  the  port  facilities  targeted  by  MASS. 
Therefore,  systems  related  to  autonomy  at  the  port 
facility are also included.

The  cybersecurity  management  system  for 
maritime  transportation  is  presented.  The  system 
consist of number of subsystem which extended part of 
managing  safe  operation,  the  remote  control  system 
from  the  center,  and  the  architecture  and  its 
accessibility of the network and systems in cyberspace. 
However, just listing the systems and building them is 
not  enough:  the  right  interface  between  them  is 
needed,  so  that  conventional  ships  and  autonomous 
ships can  travel the  sea  routes together,  the interface 
between  the  systems,  which  takes  into account  other 
operational systems of conventional ships and MASS, 
is  needed  to  ensure  their  appropriate  level  of  safety. 
There  is  a  need for  a design  and  usable element that 
ensures  the  safety  of  navigation  as  well  as  data 
transmission of data at sea at the same time. 
Therefore,  the  system  includes  designers  who 
participate  at  every  stage  of  system  development, 
starting from the design of devices, networks, systems, 
technology  implementation,  project  preparation,  etc. 
Moreover, it causes the culture of safety at sea to evolve 
towards  a  culture  of  cybersecurity  at  sea,  in  which, 
regardless  of  the  development  of  systems,  a  human 
will play a significant role either as a designer or as a 
user of the system or subsystems of the complex meta-
system  for  managing  cybersecurity  in  the  cold  (in 
maritime transport). 
6  CONCLUSIONS 
The  accumulated  research  material  allowed  the 
preparation  of  management  processes,  based  on 
functional  requirements  that  enable  the  use  of  a 
systems approach to ensure cybersecurity in maritime 
transportation  which  finally  is  prepared  safety 
metasystem  management  at  sea  (in  maritime 
transportation). It was rooted out in the fact that system 
is noted that the maritime cybersecurity management 
system is a system made up of other separate systems 
interconnected by mutual relationships, which differ in 
their  specifics,  but  there  are  common  processes  that 
guide maritime stakeholders to carry out their assigned 
tasks  in  maritime  transportation  and  are  critically 
important for their success, i.e., planning, establishing, 
implementing, maintaining and improving. 
The  accumulated  research  material  allowed  the 
preparation  of  management  processes,  based  on 
functional  requirements  that  enable  the  use  of  a 
systems approach to ensure cybersecurity in maritime 
transportation.   
Attention  was  paid  to  the  role  of  systems  that 
constitute the preparation safety management system 
which is extend to cybersecurity management systems. 
The  research  resulted  in  preparation  the 
metasystem in which the center, regardless of the level 
of automation, is a human being who makes decisions, 
supervises the movement of the ship and monitors the 
safe  operation  of  the  ship,  and  thus  performs 
management  processes.  In  the  metasystem  of 
cybersecurity  management,  a  significant  role  in 
building  the  concept  of  the  system  is  played  by  a 
human being ( as a designer), who, with its entire team 
of  competencies,  designs  the  devices,  networks, 
systems, programming, which are then operated by it 
as a user. Effective cybersecurity systems which consist 
of alla maritime stakeholders, enable users to work in 
a  secure  environment  and  reduce  vulnerabilities  by 
presenting  their  readiness  to  repel  a  possible  cyber 
threat as well as a physical one. However, the author 
understands that the proposed solutions are new and 
carry a kind of subjectivity. Therefore, a concept with 
consideration  of  the  metasystem  in  different 
perspectives:  the  user,  the  designer  and  the  external 
environment of the system is indicated. Thanks to such 
an  arrangement,  it  was  possible  to  obtain  the  very 
essence  of  competence  needs  in  building  a  safety 
environment for the strategic transport of cargo, as well 
as its reception in a Polish port.
