Major News: Yagerna’s first ABS CR project has been approved! Jiangnan Shipyard’s “ASP ELENA” has received the E26 Cybersecurity CR notation!
2026-11-04
Recently, Yagena Technology has achieved another significant milestone in the field of maritime cybersecurity. The lead vessel, “ASP ELENA,” a 50,000-cubic-meter medium-sized liquefied petroleum gas/liquid ammonia carrier (MGC) built by Jiangnan Shipyard for Vietnam’s ASP Shipping, was successfully delivered. As the provider of the ship’s comprehensive cybersecurity solution, Hangzhou Yagena Technology helped it obtain the ABS Cybersecurity CR notation. This marks Yagena’s first ABS CR certification project, further expanding its footprint in maritime cybersecurity with recognition from a leading international classification society.

“ASP ELENA” is a medium-sized, fully refrigerated liquefied gas carrier in the Panda 50P series independently developed by Jiangnan Shipyard, and represents the first collaborative order between ASP Shipping and Jiangnan Shipyard. Based on a 40,000-cubic-meter MGC platform, the vessel has been iteratively upgraded with energy-efficiency, environmental-protection, and smart-ship concepts. Through hull-form and overall arrangement optimization, it achieves higher service speed and lower fuel consumption, and it includes provisions for ammonia fuel, carbon capture, and expanded intelligent ship systems—aligning with the direction of green shipping development. Liquefied gas carriers have dense automation control systems and stringent safety requirements; completing cybersecurity certification under IACS UR E26 is a mandatory compliance condition for a vessel to go to sea. Yagena worked closely with Jiangnan Shipyard to advance onboard cybersecurity certification in parallel with mooring trials and sea trials, ensuring on-schedule delivery.

The vessel’s intelligent systems are highly integrated, imposing stringent requirements on its cybersecurity architecture. As Yagana’s first ABS‑certified cybersecurity project, the company deployed a seasoned technical team to provide on‑site support. Confronted with a novel hull form and complex system interfaces, Yagana delivered a comprehensive maritime cybersecurity solution, encompassing vessel asset inventory, cybersecurity risk assessment, security solution design, system hardening, and on‑site validation. During sea‑trial certification, the team collaborated with Jiangnan Shipyard and ABS surveyors through multiple review sessions and on‑site inspections, overcoming challenges such as heavy commissioning schedules for the lead vessel and tight submission timelines. The project successfully passed ABS scrutiny and obtained the CR cybersecurity notation.




The successful implementation of the “ASP ELENA” CR certification marks another significant milestone for Yagena in the international maritime cybersecurity field, following its pioneering CCS project. Yagena will continue to provide leading domestic shipyards with reliable maritime cybersecurity solutions, ensuring that more green vessels can navigate safely and comply with regulations.
