MARITIME SECURITY DEVELOPMENT

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

MARITIME SECURITY DEVELOPMENT

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

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.

MARITIME SECURITY DEVELOPMENT

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 Levels

Security Level

Security Levels SOLAS Ch XI-2 REGULATION 1.14

“Security level” means the qualification of the degree of risk that a security incident will be attempted or will occur

Security Level • A Port Facility is required to act upon the Security Levels set by Contracting Government within whose territory it is located. • Security measures and procedures shall be applied in such a manner as to cause a minimum of interference with, or delay to, the ship, ship’s personnel , ship’s visitors, good and services. • The Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) shall make provisions for three Security Levels, as defined in the Part A of code.

Security Level Ships and Port Facilities will have three (3) security levels Security Level 3 (High)

Port and Ship securit y Levels 1, 2 & 3

Security Level 2 (Medium) Security Level 1 (Low)

A dynamic process where the security level (1-3) is set by the Contracting Government

Additional Security measures

Security Level

Setting Security Level Setting of the Security Level at any particular time, is the responsibility of Contracting Government and can apply to ships and port facility. Changes of the Security Level will be announced to the ships or port facility through it’s specified channels.

Security Level Factors to be considered in setting the appropriate security level include:-

• The degree that the threat information is credible • The degree that the threat information is corroborated • The degree that the threat information is specific or imminent. • The potential consequences of such a security incident.

Security Level Security Level One •

The level for which minimum appropriate protective security measures shall be maintained at all times

Security Level Two • The level for which appropriate additional protective security measures shall be maintained for as long as there is a heightened risk of a security incident

Security Level Three • The level for which further specific protective measures shall be maintained for a period of time when a security incident is probable or imminent, although it may not be possible to identify a specific target

Security Level SECURITY MEASURES (in relation with the Security Level)

Security Level 1 Appropriate measures shall be carried out in order to identify and take preventive measures against security incident:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Security Level 2 Additional protective measures shall be implemented for each activity.

Security Level 3 Further specified protective measures shall be implemented for each activities

Controlling access to the Port Facility; Monitoring the security of the Port Facility including anchoring and berthing area; Controlling the restricted areas to ensure that only authorized persons have access; Supervising the handling of cargo; Supervising the handling of ship’s stores; and Supervising the handling of unaccompanied baggage.

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.

Security Plan Port Facility Security Assessment

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;

Security Plan Port Facility Security Assessment

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 Plan Port Facility Security Plan

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 Plan Port Facility Security Plan

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

PROFICIENT IN ALL ASSIGNED SECURITY DUTIES AT ALL SECURITY LEVEL  TO IDENTIFY ANY SECURITY RELATED

DEFICIENCIES WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESS  TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE

PROVISION OF THE PORT FACILITY SECURITY PLAN

Security Drill & Exercise SECURITY DRILL & EXERCISE  DRILL SHOULD BE CONDUCTED AT LEAST

EVERY THREE MONTH  EXERCISE SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT AT LEAST

ONCE EACH CALENDER YEAR WITH NO MORE THAN 18 MONTHS BETWEEN THE EXERCISES

Security Drill & Exercise Objectives To ensure that port facility personnel are proficient in all assigned security duties, at all security levels and to identify any security- related deficiencies which need to be addressed.

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 business when the ships refuse to call at their port; while the ship may incur undue delay and may even spending higher cost expenses

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.
