Maritime transport is a characteristic example of a collaborative and complex cyber-physical environment, involving various stakeholders and actors, with different goals and requirements. Securing such a complex ecosystem is a challenging task and has recently attracted various research efforts in different areas including, threat management, system hardening, trust management and communication security. However, the integration and validation of such targeted maritime transport security services is a complex task that has its own challenges. In this paper we present the preliminary results of the maritime transport security services demonstrator, developed under the CyberSecurityForEurope (CS4EU) pilot project. We have set up a demonstrator to integrate, extend and validate four maritime-specific security services, covering risk and threat management, system hardening, trust management and secure communications. Our goal is to enhance the provisioning of these services and to identify possible research and implementation gaps.
