Ports: ICT

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether (a) any UK ports use China's LOGINK system and (b) his Department has made an assessment of (i) LOGINK and (ii) China's role in port logistics standards.

Answer

Operational systems and IT platforms are a commercial matter for the ports concerned, and the Department for Transport does not hold records of the systems used by each port or assessments of systems available for procurement by ports. The Department for Transport regulates transport Operators of Essential Services under the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018 to improve standards of cyber security and resilience and is supported by technical advice and guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), as the UK’s national technical authority.
