Code Objective

• To ensure the early and efficient collection and exchange of security-related information; • To provide a methodology for security assessment so as to have in place plans and procedures to react to changing security levels; and • To ensure that confidence, adequate and proportionate maritime security measures are in place.

MARITIME SECURITY DEVELOPMENT


INTERNATIONAL SHIP & PORT FACILITY SECURITY CODE

Pre 9/11 Assessment : Maritime security threats such as cargo theft, illegal drug trafficking, stowaways, piracy and terrorism existed long before 9/11


INTERNATIONAL SHIP & PORT FACILITY SECURITY CODE

Pre 9/11 Assessment :  ship, cruise, ferry or

tourist vessel, seen as possible target of attack or hijack.  ship used for gun running

or to carry other equipment and personnel.  ship used in trade to help

finance terrorist activities

MARITIME SECURITY DEVELOPMENT 1986 – IMO adopted measures to prevent unlawful acts which threaten the safety of ships and the security of their passengers and crews. 1988 - IMO adopted the "Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (Rome 1988)", known as the SUA Convention

5 8 9 1 = =

Hijacking of the Achille Lauro in 1985 First mention of “security” in any IMO treaty, convention or resolution.

MARITIME SECURITY DEVELOPMENT  MSC Circular 443 (1986)  The focus of MSC advice in Circular 443 (IMO Resolution

A.584(14)) was on cruise ships and the ports they used. It included: 

 

a Designated Authority was to be appointed within the Government, responsible for cruise ship and cruise port security; appointment of an Operator Security Officer; appointment of a Ship Security Officer for each cruise ship;


SUA CONVENTION Based on aviation (ICAO) practice, SUA seeks to ensure that appropriate judicial action is taken against persons committing unlawful acts against ships. It requires Contracting Governments either to extradite or prosecute alleged offenders.


1996 – IMO issued IMO Circular 754 entitled "Passenger Ferry Security“. It advised additional application of the principles in 443 to international passenger ferry services. 1997 – IMO Resolution A.872(20). It introduced guidelines for the prevention and suppression of the smuggling of drugs, psychotropic substances and precursor chemicals on ships engaged in international maritime traffic. 1997 – IMO Resolution A.871(20). It introduced guidelines on the allocation of responsibilities to seek the successful resolution of stowaway cases.


1997 – Piracy and Armed Robbery MSC (IMO) also developed guidance on preventing piracy and armed robbery against ships (now MSC/Circ.623/Rev3) and parallel guidance to Contracting Governments (now MSC/Circ.622/Rev1).

Security Plan Port Facility Security Assessment

A Port Facility Security Assessment : •

identifies vulnerabilities that may lead to a security breach and may suggest options to eliminate or mitigate those vulnerabilities;

•

is an essential and integral part of the process of developing a Port Facility Security Plan, and

•

has to be submitted to, and approved by, the Designated Authority of the Contracting Government.


Port Facility Security Assessment includes : •

the identification of assets and infrastructures it is important to protect;

•

the identification of vulnerabilities, including human factors, infrastructure, policies and procedures;


Port Facility Security Assessment includes :

•

the identification of possible threats, their likelihood of occurring and their consequences, in order to determine and prioritize security measures, and

•

the identification of security measures that could reduce vulnerability.

Security Plan Port Facility Security Plan

The Port Facility Security Plan is prepared on the basis of the approved Port Facility Security Assessment and should include security measures and procedures for the 3 Security Levels. The plan is designed to ensure the application of measures to protect the port facility and ships, persons, cargo, cargo transport units and ship's stores within the port facility from the risks of a security incident.


Security measures should include : •

Prevention of weapons, explosives etc being brought into the port facility and on board ship;

•

Prevention of unauthorized access to the port facility, ships or restricted areas;

•

Ensuring the security of the Plan itself, and

•

Ensuring the security of cargo and cargo handling equipment within the port facility.


Security procedures should include procedures: •

to respond to security threats or breaches;

•

to respond to instructions given at Security Level 3;

•

for evacuation in the event of security threats or breaches;

•

for the security interface with ships;

•

for the reporting of security incidents;

•

to respond to the activation of a Ship Security Alert System, and

•

to facilitate shore leave for ship’s personnel.

Security Plan MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATION OF PFSP

The PFSP is intended to address security measures for each of the 3 Security Levels, but on further inspection it can be seen that the PFSP is a living document and will require modification over time in maintaining its effectiveness and contributing to positive

DECLARATION OF SECURITY (DoS)

Declaration of Security (DoS)

The DoS is an agreement between the ship and the port facility or with other ships with which it interfaces as to details the respective security measures of which each party will undertake in accordance with the provisions of their respective approved security

Declaration of Security (DoS)

The DoS shall address the security requirements that could be shared between a port facility and a ship (or between ships) and shall state the responsibility for each.

Declaration of Security (DoS) Example of DoS

SECURITY DRILL & EXERCISE

Security Drill & Exercise SECURITY DRILL & EXERCISE  TO ENCOURAGE ALERTNESS AND AWARENESS OF

THE SECURITY OF THE PORT FACILITY  TO ENSURE THAT PORT FACILITY PERSONNEL ARE

The IMPLICATION

The IMPLICATION

NON-COMPLIANCE 1. IMO does not state that complying with the ISPS Code as a mandatory requirement. 2. Malaysian government through it’s Designated Authority (Peninsular Malaysia Marine Department) has advised the shipping companies and port facilities to comply with the Code. 3. Failing to comply with the Code, the port facility may result ships not calling at the port facility; while the ships may be denied access by the port or being detained or subject to additional inspections. 4. The non-compliance port facility may lost their

The IMPLICATION

NON-Conformance 1.

The non-conformance port facility is as bad as noncompliance port.

2.

SoCPF will be revoked and the name of the port will be updated in the IMO website.

3.

The port facility may have to spend extra expenses in order to reassess the port facility and to redevelop the Security Plan.
