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
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

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;
MARITIME SECURITY DEVELOPMENT
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.
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).

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 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
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.
