MARAD Publishes Tanker Security Fleet IFR – No cybersecurity provisions in the new regulations – A good thing modern ships have no OT technology to protect, right? https://tinyurl.com/2p8c3fs8 #Regulations
MARAD = an ancient Near Eastern city that was situated on the west bank of the then western branch of the Upper Euphrates River west of Nippur in modern-day Iraq.
IFR = Instrument Flight Rules
OT = Overtime

@Pat Interesting note: Most DOT agencies use straight letter abbreviations (PHMSA, FRA, NHTSA, etc) MARAD uses the old DOD convention of making real acronyms using as many letters of each word as seems appropriate - MARAD short for MARitime ADministration. I frequently have to correct my internal assumption that MARAD is a DOD agency.
