1. Introduction
New security measures and procedures adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) establish
an international marine security framework to enhance the protection of ships, personnel, cargo, and ports.
The initiative, called the International Ship and of Port Facility Security Code (ISPS), responds to an
increased threat of terrorist attacks.
The new security measures and procedures apply to cargo ships of 500 tons or more involved in
international trade, passenger ships and high-speed passenger craft, mobile offshore drilling units, and port
facilities for the above ships on international voyages.
While these new security requirements are designed to combat terrorism, they can also help to effectively
protect against other threats, such as piracy and hijacking.
Terrorists pose a potential threat to ships and shipping because a ship could be used:
• To smuggle terrorists or weapons to countries to carry out an attack.
• Take control and use the ship as a weapon,
• Attack a ship directly,
• Take hostages from the ship
• Use the ship to hold a port hostage,
• Use the cargo on the ship to cause environmental or economic problems for a coastal state, or
• Use a ship as a platform to mount a strike.
Each Ship and port facility is responsible for determining the security measures necessary to respond to
potential threats. Ship operators and crew and port authorities and facility operators are required to conduct
threat assessments, security surveys, vulnerability assessments, and then develop security plans to mitigate
unacceptable risks. Personnel responsible for the security of Ships and ports are also required to provide
training and drills to ensure a familiarity with security plans and procedures.
These security requirements for Ships must be approved by the “Administration,” that is responsible for
ensuring the enforcement of international conventions. Port security measures must be approved by the
“Contracting Government” which is signatory to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea
(SOLAS). Ships will be required to carry an International Ship Security Certificate onboard similar to the
Safety Management Certificate, indicating they have an approved Ship Security Plan and the crew
understands their security responsibilities. The certificate and parts of the Plan are subject to a Port State
Control inspection.
The Administrations for the Contracting Governments will be responsible for developing procedures for
assessing threats and establishing the appropriate readiness conditions or security levels. The Contracting
Government will also be responsible for defining the security measures and procedures for each of the three
Security Alert Conditions: Security Level 1, Security Level 2, and Security Level 3. The Company and
Ship Security Officers will be responsible for the development and implementation of the Security Plan. All
ship operators and port facility operators will be required to ensure that the minimum Security Level for the
appropriate readiness condition is implemented.
Page 1
A company must have a Company Security Officer (CSO); each ship is required to have a Ship Security
Officer (SSO). A Ship Security Plan must be developed for each ship, and each ship must be equipped with
specific equipment. The plan must stipulate the methods and procedures for the three security levels.
Each ship is required to control and monitor access and the activities of people and cargo, and security
communications must be readily available.
Similarly, all ports to which these security measures apply must appoint a Port Facility Security Officer
(PFSO) and prepare a Port Facility Security Plan. The plan has to be approved by the Contracting
Government responsible for the port facility.
The following information contained in the plan is confidential and shall be kept in very strict confidence by
the Company Security Officer, Master and Ship’s Security Officer:
• Identification of the restricted areas and measures for the prevention of unauthorized access;
• Procedures for responding to security threats or breaches of security, including provisions for
maintaining critical operations of the ship or ship/port interface;
• Procedures for responding to any security instructions Contracting Governments may give at security
level 2 or 3;
• Duties of shipboard personnel assigned security responsibilities and of other shipboard personnel on
security aspects;
• Procedures to ensure the inspection, testing, calibration, and maintenance of any security equipment
provided on board, if any;
• Identification of the locations where the ship security alert system activation points are provided; and
• Procedures, instructions and guidance on the use of the ship security alert system, including the testing,
activation, deactivation and resetting and to limit false alerts.
Page 2
2. Company Policy
This Ship Security Plan contains polices and procedures to promote the security of
__________________________________________ (insert Ship name). The plan responds to the
International Maritime Office’s (IMO) draft amendments to Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Chapter XI-2
and Part A of the ISPS Code (Measures to Enhance Maritime Security).
The company should use this space to address to describe procedures the company will put in place to help
the crew:
• Prevent terrorist or criminal activities happening on board or to the ship,
• Identify the potential for criminal or terrorist activities happening on board or to the ship,
• Deter terrorist or criminal activities, and
• React when terrorist or criminal activities are encountered.
The Master has the overriding authority and responsibility to make decisions regarding the security of the
ship and to request the assistance of the Company or of any Contracting Government as may be necessary.
All crewmembers shall review the plan’s contents, supporting bills, and the security instructions developed
to implement this plan.
Maintaining ship security is an ongoing task. As potential new threats are uncovered, additional security
measures and procedures might need to be implemented.
Only the Company Security Officer (OSO) is authorized to release security information to the Master, Ship
Security Officer (SSO), and Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO). Unless approved by the Master or SSO,
internal and external communications from the ship regarding security measures, threat analyses,
intelligence information, and planned responses are not to be discussed with anyone on shore or to other
members of the crew.
The Company Security Officer may delegate duties to be performed by the Ship Security Officer.
As required by the IMO, the name of the person or organization who appoints the members of the crew or
other persons employed or engaged on board the ship in any capacity on the business of the ship is:
___________________________________________________________________________.
Their address and contact information will be found in Appendix G.
All ship personnel are to:
• Assist the Ship Security Officer (SSO) and report security violations.
• Assist the SSO with the implementation of ship security bills and reporting discrepancies in those bills.
The company’s use of force policy is attached as Appendix E.

encountered in the port must be described in Appendix H.
A Ship’s general arrangement drawing should also be used to identify access points, and layers of protection
to prevent unauthorized access to certain areas of a ship. Sections of this plan will contain controlled
information (Such as the location or button or switch which activates the Alert system). We recommend the
development of two plans, one with the information of general concern, and a second stored in a secure
location, which contains information, which must be controlled.
The plan may also include photographs of the vessel which are marked to identify access points and secure
locations, again this information should be controlled.

6. Security Plan Documentation and Overview
6.1 Introduction
Each ship shall carry on board a Ship Security Plan (SSP) approved by the Administration. The plan must
be developed based on guidance provided by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The Company Security Officer is responsible for preparing the Ship Security Plan (SSP). Each ship’s plan
contents should vary depending on the type of ship and the ship’s operating area.
The plan must be written in the working language or languages of the ship. If the language or languages
used is not English, French, or Spanish, a translation into one of these languages must be included.
The Ship Security Plan may be combined with the safety management system. The Company and the
Administration must approve the plan. Changes to the plan which must be approved by the Administration
include:
o Equipment Changes,
o Change in the identification of:
o layers of protection,
o access points and
o unauthorized access areas
o Change of Ship contact information,
o Change of Company Contact Information, and
o Changes in security procedures on board.
The Plan may be kept in an electronic form and must be protected from unauthorized access or disclosure.
A Ship Security Plan is not generally subject to inspection by officers authorized from Contracting
Government. But if there are grounds for believing the ship is in violation of the requirements, access to the
plan is authorized for the purpose of verifying the ship security requirements have been met and, if
necessary, to require appropriate corrective actions.
To prepare a Ship Security Plan, it is necessary to first conduct a Ship Security survey, which examines
existing physical security measure, procedures, and operations. A vulnerability assessment is then
completed to determine potential gaps or weaknesses in security. These Sections of the plan are to be
confidential and should be separately maintained in a locked cabinet.
The Ship Security Plan also contains specific security policies and procedures, which are detailed in
subsequent sections.
6.2 Security Organizational Structure
The Master is responsible for the safety and security of the crew, passengers, and cargo. The development
of general security policies and procedures is the responsibility of the Company Security Officer. Unless
Page 9
the Master is the Ship’s Security Officer, the Ship Security Officer shall report to the Master and is
responsible for implementing, maintaining, and supervising the Ship Security Plan.

6.3 Audit, Review & Reporting
The Ship Security Plan to be reviewed by the Company Security Officer to ensure its continued
effectiveness:
• Annually,
• After lessons learned from
o Audits,
o Drills,
o Exercises, and
o Security Incidents.
After an assessment or other report of possible breaches of security or security concerns the Ships Security
Officer will modify the Plan and report the changes made and the reasons for these changes to the Company
Security Officer.
Page 11
The Ship’s Security Officer will immediately report to the Company Security Officer when the effectiveness
of security equipment is compromised due to equipment failure or malfunction and will implement
operational measures to compensate for the loss of equipment.
The Company Security Officer will seek temporary approval from the Administration for alternatives or q
equivalencies are required by SOLAS.
6.4 Records
The below records of activities shall be kept on board for at least two years (minimum period specified by
the Administration).
• Training,
• Drills,
• Exercises,
• Security Incidents,
• Reports of security breaches,
• Changes in security levels,
• Maintenance, calibration and testing of security equipment,
• Communications relating to the ship’s security (such as specific threats to the ship),
• Internal audits and review of security activities, and
• Periodic review of the security survey.
6.5 Plan Security
This plan contains information that should not be public knowledge and the plan shall be retained in a
secure location. Crewmen should be aware of the existence of plan and their roles in the security of the
ship. The Master, Ship Security Officer and Company Security Officer should be the only person with
access to the entire plan. Copies of the plans shall be strictly controlled. Only the Company Security Officer
and the Ship Security Officer need retain copies of the Ship Security Plan. Surveyors, auditors from the
Recognized Organization, inspectors form the flag state, port authorities, port state inspectors and coastal
state authorities can provided the opportunity to examine the plan to make sure that it meets the intent of the
regulations, however no additional copies need be provided.
Page 12
7. Communication and Coordination
7.1 Introduction
Ship security is dependent upon the interaction and communication between all of the parties concerned.
The crew, the ship operators, the port authorities, contracting governments, local law enforcement, and
emergency response personnel need to communicate with each other as needed to provide an adequate
response to the posted security level and to ensure that the actions taken in the event of an incident are
adequate.
The Company when developing the plan will use the contacts identified in Appendix A or their own
contacts developed over years of service to complete the ship’s Contact Information Sheet found in
Appendix F and G. This list will be updated by the Company Security Officer with the help of the Ship
Security Officer for each port and for each voyage.
7.2 Port
The Port, Coastal State Authorities, and local law enforcement must assist the Company and Ship Security
Officers, with the appropriate contact information so the Company Security Officer can receive adequate
information to determine the appropriate security level, to ensure shore side security and provide emergency
response contact information in the event of an incident.
7.3 Water Front Facility
It is the responsibility of the Company Security Officer (the SSO can act on behalf of the CSO) to ensure a
Facility Security Assessment is accurate and that facility security personnel are providing the protection
required. The Declaration found in Appendix B will be used to conduct the assessment by the Ship Security
Officer and the Facility Security Officer and record any problems and list how those problems will be
addressed. If the facility security is not adequate the Ship Security Officer will have to take additional steps
to safeguard the ship. The SSO shall also report any negative findings to the Company Security Officer
who will in turn report to the Port Authorities and the Flag State regarding the problems encountered.
7.4 Law Enforcement
The Port Authorities should provide the Ship Security Officer with a list of valid local law enforcement
points of contact. The list should identify the law enforcement officers who are authorized to board the ship
while in the port. The Ship Security Officer will comply with all lawful requests or recommendations made
by these law enforcement officials.
Page 13
7.5 Company, the CSO and the SSO
The Company is responsible for making sure the Company Security Officer and the Ship Security Officer
have communicated with Coast State and Port Authorities to develop the list of contacts needed to establish
a plan that works.
7.6 Radio Procedures
A suitably qualified Radio Operator should be on duty at all times when ships are in, or approaching areas
where attacks occur or may occur. One of the qualified radio operators other than the Master shall be called
upon to be the Radio Operator. Since the introduction of GMDSS, the navigation officer on watch also
carries the duty of Radio Operator. In addition to the Navigating Officer, it is advisable to have a duly
qualified dedicated radio operator perform the Radio Watch, to ensure the ship’s bridge is adequately
manned when transiting potentially hazardous waters.
Prior to entering areas where attacks have occurred or where intelligence indicates attacks may occur, Radio
Operators should practice and perfect pertinent radio operational procedures and ensure all transmitters,
including satellite earth stations are fully operational and available for immediate use on distress and
security frequencies. Where an INMARSAT ship earth station is provided it is appropriate to draft and store
“standard messages” for ready use in an emergency. Masters should ensure that all procedures to generate
a distress alert on any communication equipment are clearly marked on, or near, the equipment and all
appropriate crewmembers briefed on their operation.
A special Code for piracy/armed robbery/attack is available for use on digital selective calling (DSC)
equipment. DSC equipment shall be modified to incorporate this facility. The Company is responsible for
making sure the Company Security Officer and the Ship Security Officer have communicated with Coast
State and Port Authorities to develop the list of contacts needed to establish a plan that works.
The Master and all Radio Operators should be aware that potential attackers might be monitoring ship to
shore communications and using intercepted information to select targets. When transmitting information
regarding cargo, valuables and the status of ship’s stores, caution is advised.
7.7 Radio Watch keeping
A constant radio watch shall be maintained with appropriate naval or shore side authorities in areas where
attacks have occurred or intelligence indicated attacks are imminent on all distress and safety frequencies:
VHF Channel 16 and 2182 kHz.
The Master (or Security Officer as directed by the Master) shall ensure that all Maritime Safety Information
Broadcasts are monitored. It is anticipated that INMARSAT’s enhanced group calling will normally be used
for such broadcasts using the SafetyNET(SM) service.
Page 14
7.8 Communication in Response to Threats
The master or senior officer available shall make sure that the Cognizant Rescue Coordination Center is
contacted to report: Suspicious movements which may result in imminent attack, and
Piracy, Armed Robbery or Terrorist attacks using the form found Appendix C.
In addition, if the Master believes the other ship’s movement constitutes a direct threat to his ship or a
danger to navigation in general, he shall consider sending an “All Stations (CQ) “danger message” as well
as advising the appropriate RCC. A danger message should be transmitted in plain language on a VHF
working frequency following an announcement on VHF Channel 16 and or transmission of a DSC Call on
VHF Channel 70 using the “safety” priority. All such messages shall be preceded by the safety signal
(SECURITE).
When the Master has concluded that the safety of the ship is threatened, he shall:
1. Activate the Security Alert, and

2. Notify the cognizant Rescue Coordination Center and if considered appropriate authorize a broadcast
of an “All Stations” “Urgency Message” on VHF Channel 16, 2182 kHz or any other radio communications
he considers appropriate (e.g. INMARSAT). Such messages shall be preceded by the appropriate Urgency
Signal (PAN PAN) and or a DSC call on VHF Channel 70 and /or 2187.5 kHz.
When an attack has occurred and in the opinion the crew and ship are in grave danger requiring immediate
assistance, the Master shall authorize the broadcast of a “Distress” message be preceded by the appropriate
Distress alerts (Mayday, SOS, DSC, etc..) using the radio equipment most appropriate for the area taking
into account the GMDSS Designation. The appropriate RCC shall acknowledge receipt of the message and
attempt to establish communications.
Masters shall bear in mind that the distress signal is provided for use in cases of imminent danger and it
shall not be used for less urgent purposes.
Page 15
8. Ship Security Assessment (Survey)
8.1 Survey Process
The Ship Security Survey is the first step to developing a Ship Security Assessment. It is the responsibility
of the Company Security Officer (the SSO can act on behalf of the CSO) to ensure a Ship Security
Assessment is carried out by competent persons with skills to evaluate the security of a ship.
The survey identifies and evaluates the necessary security measures to counter potential threats to the ship at
port, at anchor, and at sea. An assessment must be documented and a copy retained by the Company. The
assessment must include an on-scene security survey with, at least, the following elements:
• Identify the existing security measures, procedures, and operations.

• Identify and evaluate the key shipboard operations that are important to protect.
• Identify the possible threats to the key shipboard operations and the likelihood of their occurrence, in
order to establish and prioritize security measures.
• Identify security weaknesses, including human factors in the infrastructure, policies, and procedures.
(Human factors in the infrastructure would include nationality of the ship’s owners, operators and the
crew.)
The Company Security Officer or a Contacted Surveyor working under the direction of the Company
Security Officer shall develop the Security Assessment for the __(insert name of the ship) __________ in
accordance with Guide 4.
As indicated the assessment can reveal weakness in the ships security posture and therefore shall be treated
as a controlled document and separately maintained.
8.2 Security Survey is Confidential
The Master and Security officer should be the only persons on board with knowledge of the contents of this
document and where it is maintained.
The Security assessment survey is a confidential document and will be available as stipulated by the
Master in accordance with company policy. It will be located separate from the remainder of the plan
by the Company and Ship Security officers.
Page 16
9. Establishing Security Levels
9.1 Introduction
The Master or the SSO is responsible for declaring the Ship Security Level. Security Levels or readiness
conditions are procedures to respond to security threats or breaches of security, including provisions for
maintaining critical operations of the ship or ship/port interface. Normal operating conditions are Security
Level 1. At this readiness condition, the following actions are required for all ships:
• Ensure the performance of all ship security duties.

• Monitor access to the ship.
• Monitor the deck areas and areas surrounding the ship.
• Monitor the embarkation of persons and their carry-on items.
• Supervise the handling of cargo and ship’s stores.
• Ensure that port-specific security communication is readily available.
As the threat alters, the security level should be modified. The highest security level, as a general policy,
may include arming ship personnel. Three Security Levels, or Security Readiness Conditions (SRC), have
been established to respond to potential threats:
Security Level 1 Low Threat Normal operating conditions.
Security Level 2: Medium Threat Heightened threat due to an announcement or intelligence of a

non-specific (perceived) threat.
Security Level 3: High Threat Highest threat level in response to an attack or official
information of a specific threat.
It is important that Security Levels be clearly defined for all personnel. Training should be conducted at all
readiness conditions to ensure rapid response to changing threats.
When entering a port, a ship is required to act upon the security level set by the Contracting Government.
A ship, Company or Administration may choose a higher security level than recommended by the Port
Facility Security Officer.
The SSO and Port Facility Security Officer are required to liaise and coordinate appropriate actions.
At Security Levels 2 and 3, a ship is required to acknowledge receipt of the designated authority’s advice on
a change in the security level. The SSO shall confirm to the Port Facility Security Officer the Ship’s
Security Level and report any differences of implementation.

9.7 Determining Security Level at Sea
The threat level determines the Security Level or readiness condition of the Ship. During normal operating
conditions at sea and in port, the readiness condition is Security Level 1.
At sea, when the Ship Security Officer determines a non-specific threat exists, the readiness condition
should be elevated to Security Level 2 (See Threat Assessment Guide 2 to help determine and define
potential threats).
At sea, the readiness condition is increased to Security Level 3 when it is determined there is sufficient
specific intelligence about a pending attack or threat in a specific area.

10. Security Actions:
10.1 Piracy and Armed Attacks:
10.1.1 Background
Most piracy attacks occur at port. At sea, ships are most vulnerable to attack while sailing near land and
passing through narrow channels where maneuverability is limited.
Pirates might steal any valuable item on a ship or even the ship itself. Carrying large sums of money on
board should be avoided if possible. If pirates learn about such funds, it may invite an attack.
Pirates have been known to monitor communications, so discussing information about a ship’s cargo or
valuables should be avoided. Crewmembers going ashore should also be advised to not discuss details
about a Ship’s cargo or itinerary.
Smaller ships and ships with fewer crewmembers are more vulnerable to attack. To compensate, ship
owners may want to consider implementing additional security measures and/or installing appropriate
surveillance and detection equipment, such as closed circuit surveillance systems, which may be monitored
from a central location.
Early detection provides an opportunity to sound alarms, implement security procedures, contact authorities
for assistance, illuminate a suspect craft, and take evasive maneuvers. Maintaining vigilance and enhancing
security measures and procedures are the best deterrence to avoid an attack.
Pirates may feign distress as a trick to get close to a Ship. As a consequence, any ship– including junks,
fishing boats, pleasure boats, and dhows – should be considered as a potential threat.
If a Master determines it is necessary to invite people onboard, only one person should be transferred at a
time. The individual should be carefully searched. Security should be at a high level of alert with lookouts
maintained on all sides of the ship.
Following are additional security guidelines for consideration:
• Brief crewmembers on the risks of being attacked by pirates or armed bandits.

• Secure the bridge, engine room, steering gear compartments, officers’ cabins, and crew
accommodations.
• Carefully plan any response to an apparent attack and ensure the crew is appropriately trained.
• If possible, avoid high-risk areas and bottlenecks.
• Consider delaying ship arrival if there is a high threat from piracy at port and if a berth is not
immediately available to minimize the Ship’s vulnerability while in queue.
Page 22
10.1.2 Piracy Security Measures in Port
• Minimize access points preferably to a single controlled gangway or ship’s side companion way.
• Keep emergency ladders clear of the water; raise and stow pilot ladders immediately after use.
• Provide two security officers at access points if a threat warrants the response.
• Establish perimeter security measures, such as weather deck and ship side lighting, deck and jetty
patrols, and secure rat guards on mooring lines.
• Search all deliveries when possible; conduct frequent, random, and overt searches if all materials cannot
be examined.
• Search all visitors and escort them while on board.
• Keep small craft in the vicinity under constant surveillance.
• Carefully control documents containing information about the cargo or ship’s itinerary.
• Conduct a search of the ship before sailing and secure all doors and other access points.
10.1.3 Security Measures at Sea
When approaching or sailing through high-risk areas:
• Augment bridge watches and lookouts.

• Establish additional watches on the stern and where there are visual and radar “blind spots.”
• Equip watches with low-light binoculars and/or night-vision goggles.
• When monitoring nearby ships, give additional attention to small craft matching the speed of the ship or
traveling parallel to the ship.
• Ensure someone responsible for communications remains on duty.
• Maintain radio communications with appropriate shore and naval authorities.
If a suspicious ship at sea approaches in a threatening manner:
• Increase speed and alter course if safe to do so.

• Do not allow the ship to come alongside; do not respond to messages by radio, light, or hailing.
• Note details of the threatening ship and video or photograph the ship if possible.
• At night, switch off the weather deck lighting; direct searchlights at the approaching ship.
• Keep personnel clear of the weather deck.
10.1.4 If Hijacked
During a hijacking, generally the more time that passes without incident, the better:
• Remain calm and direct others to do the same; do not resist armed pirates unless there is a clear life-
threatening situation.
• Ensure the safety of the ship and personnel according to maritime practice.
• Initiate Security Alarm, if possible,
• Broadcast a distress message, if possible.
• Offer reasonable cooperation; try to establish a reasonable rapport.
• Try to identify the number of attackers.
• Attempt to increase the number of egress points.
Page 23
• Attempt to determine the demands of the hijackers, as well as potential deadlines.
• Use secure communications if available for negotiators to talk with the hijackers.
• The Master and crew should not attempt to negotiate with the hijackers unless directed by authorities.
Following an attack, the International Maritime Organization recommends sending a report to the Rescue
Coordination Center (RCC). Provide in the report information on the identity and location of the ship, any
injuries or damage, and descriptions of the attackers. See MSC/Circ.597 for additional reporting
recommendations.
10.2. Terrorism
The face of terrorism has changed over time. Attacks in the past were designed to primarily attract
publicity, not kill a lot of people. In 1985, four terrorists hijacked the Achille Lauro, an Italian cruise ship
with more than 400 passengers. The event attracted worldwide attention. One person was killed before the
terrorists surrendered after a two-day standoff.
Terrorist attacks are becoming increasingly more lethal. In 1998, suicide truck bombs detonated outside the
U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam, capital of Tanzania, killing 11 people, and the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi,
killing 213 and injuring thousands.
In October 2000, terrorists tied to al Qaeda mounted a suicide bombing against the USS Cole in the Yemeni
port of Aden, killing 17 sailors. In June 2001, seven terrorists were arrested for plotting to attack American
and British ships in the Strait of Gibraltar with explosive-packed boats.
On October 6, 2002, terrorists linked to al Qaeda attacked a French oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden causing
the release of 50,000 barrels of oil.
The attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) represents the first mass destruction terrorism strike.
Officials fear it may not be long before a terrorist group mounts an attack using chemical, biological,
radiological, or nuclear materials (weapons of mass destruction).
Prior to September 11, 2001, maritime security measures to counter terrorism focused on hijacking and
bombing threats. As a result of the WTC attack, security measures are being implemented worldwide.
Authorities are concerned a ship might be turned into a weapon not unlike the jetliners that were crashed
into the WTC. A ship could also be used to smuggle a weapon of mass destruction to a port, then detonated.
A suspected member of the al Qaeda terrorism network attempted to illegally enter Canada using a container
that had been modified with a bed, battery-powered heater, toilet, and enough water for the three-week
voyage to Toronto.
Terrorists may attempt to gain access to a ship by infiltration or assault. In preparation for an attack
involving the maritime industry, terrorists are likely to conduct surveillance of potential targets.

Page 36
18. Ship/Waterfront Facility Interface:
18.1 Introduction
The IMO security measures require all ports involved in international trade to appoint a Port Facility
Security Officer (PFSO) and prepare a Port Facility Security Plan. The Contracting Government
responsible for the port facility must approve the plan.
The port is responsible for determining the measures necessary to respond to potential threats. The port is
also required to provide training and drills to ensure the familiarity with security plans and procedures.
The Contracting Government must assess potential threats and vulnerabilities to ports and determine the
level of risk. The Contracting Government is responsible for setting the appropriate security level. All
ports must maintain at least a Security Level 1 readiness condition.
The below survey provides information to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the security systems and
procedures at a port facility after arrival. If security measures are found to be inadequate, the Ship Security
Officer can increase Ship security measures to compensate for port deficiencies.
18.2 Port Security Survey for Ship’s Security Officer
Yes No: The port facility has conducted a security assessment?

If yes, when? __________________________________________
The following are potential vulnerabilities in security measures and procedures at port facilities:
Yes No: Inspection, control, and monitoring systems and procedures?
Yes No: Identification documents?
Yes No: Access control systems and procedures?
Yes No: Perimeter security measures (fencing, etc.)?
Yes No: Lighting?
Yes No: Stand-by equipment that assures continuity of essential services?
Yes No: Sufficient personnel to respond to an emergency?
Yes No: Communications?
Yes No: Have authorities implemented new security systems and procedures to mitigate
any security weaknesses listed above?
Page 37
If yes, explain: ______________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
Deficiencies in the Port Facility Security should be reported to the Company Security Officer and the Flag
Administration.
Serious deficiencies should be reported by the quickest means possible: telephone, fax or E-Mail.
18.3 Port Communication contingencies in emergency situations:
The Port Communication Contingency in Emergency situations should be confirmed with the Port Security
Personnel upon arrival. The Contact information should be posted in a conspicuous location where the
watch standers can see it and make use of it while in port.
If time permits, the Ship Security Office should try to test the validity of the contact information provided
and record and report any problems.
Page 38
19. Training and Drills
A properly trained crew is a strong deterrent to prevent attacks and other threats. A continuous and
thorough training program should support measures to safeguard the security of the ship, crew, and cargo. It
is important that all ship and shipboard personnel understand their responsibilities for ship security and shall
have sufficient knowledge and ability to perform their assigned duties.
All crewmen will receive familiarization training when they report on board regarding their specific security
duties.
Drills shall be conducted at least once every three months or whenever there is crew change involving a
significant portion of the crew in order to ensure the adequacy of the Ship Security Plans. This includes:
• Inspection, control, and monitoring duties required by pertinent regulations, policies, and laws.
• Detection and identification of weapons and other dangerous substances and devices.
• Operation, calibration, underway maintenance, and testing of security equipment; physical search
methods of persons, baggage, cargo, and ship stores.
• Emergency procedures.
• Recognition of characteristics and behavioral patterns of persons who are likely to threaten the security
of the ship.
• Techniques that foster calming behavior.
• Techniques used by others to circumvent protective measures.
Crews shall also be involved in an exercise involving the Company Security Officer at least once a year.
Page 39
20. Contingency Plans and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s)
20.1 Bomb Threats and Hoaxes
Few actual bombings or attempted bombings of commercial ships have occurred in the past 25 years. The
explosion that caused damage to the oil tanker Limburg in the Gulf of Aden, however is suspected of being
an act of sabotage, indicating a new trend, and there have been numerous bomb threats against ships over
the years. Following are general guidelines for responding to a potential bomb on a ship:
• The person receiving a bomb threat should immediately contact the Master, Ship Security Officer, or
Watch Officer.
• Ship officers should notify the home office and appropriate authorities.
If the threat is real, the caller may have specific knowledge about the location of the bomb. If the threat is a
hoax, the caller is probably seeking to disrupt normal operations.
20.1.1 Telephone Bomb Threat Procedures
• Remain calm.
• If possible, get more than one person to listen to the call.
• Keep the caller on the line as long as possible.
• Ask the caller to repeat the message and record every word spoken by the caller.
• Listen for voices or speech peculiarities and/or accents.
• Be alert for words or phrases that may be repeated.
• Try to distinguish background noises that might help identify or locate the caller.
• Record the conversation if possible.
• Notify the SSO immediately. If available, provide the location of the bomb and the threatened time of
detonation.
• Do not hang-up the phone if the call is made from the ship's internal telephone system.
20.1.2 Bomb Search Guidelines
The following guidelines outline the steps that should be taken if a specific bomb threat has been made or
evidence supports the possibility that a bomb may have been placed aboard a ship:
• Request assistance from qualified explosives experts and law enforcement.,

• Consider evacuating personnel
• A search should be organized based on a search plan that is specific to each ship, which may direct the
crew to use specific external assistance..
• Searchers should be familiar with the search areas so they can identify new or unusual items.
• Officers and management should carefully supervise the search.
• Consideration should be given to search parties working in pairs, with one person searching “high” and
the other one searching “low.”
• Searchers should be able to identify a variety of bombs or incendiary devices.
• Areas that have been searched should be appropriately marked.
Page 40
• A central point of contact should be established to coordinate information.
• Searchers should have communication devices so they can alert officers and management.
• Searchers should be trained so they know what to do if a bomb is discovered.
• If a bomb is located, the search should continue in case another device is present.
20.2 Terrorist Hijacking
A hijacking is the forcible seizure of a ship by terrorists or pirates. The Achille Lauro incident is an
example of a terrorist hijacking. As a general rule, during a hijacking, the more time that passes without
incident, the better. Following are general guidelines in the event of a hijacking:
• Remain calm and direct crewmembers and passengers to do the same; do not resist armed terrorists or
pirates unless there is a clear life-threatening situation.
• Broadcast a distress message, if possible.
• The master and crew should not attempt to negotiate with the attackers unless directed.
• Offer reasonable cooperation; try to establish a basic rapport.
• Try to identify the number of terrorists or criminals.
• Attempt to increase the number of access points.
• Attempt to determine the hijackers’ demands and potential deadlines.
• Use secure communications if available for all discussions with the hijackers.
If authorities attempt to regain control of a ship through force, personnel should comply with all commands
by military forces. During and after a hijacking, only authorized crewmembers should talk with the media,
unless otherwise instructed.
20.2.1 Hijacking Security Measures
• Minimize access points, if possible, to a single controlled gangway or shipside companion way.
• Keep emergency ladders clear of the water; raise pilot ladders immediately after use.
• Provide two security officers at access points if a threat warrants the response.
• Establish perimeter security measures, such as upper deck and Ship side lighting, deck and jetty patrols,
and secure rat guards on mooring lines.
• Search all deliveries when possible; conduct frequent, random, and overt searches if all materials cannot
be examined.
• Search all visitors and escort them while on board.
• Keep small craft in the vicinity under constant surveillance.
Page 41
21. Maintenance of Equipment
The Company Security Officer shall develop a plan for maintenance, calibration and testing of security
equipment of security related equipment based upon the ship design, structure and equipment available this
section of the plan should:
• Identify the Security related Equipment,

• Describe intervals between inspection or examination of specific equipment,
• Define who will conduct the maintenance (crewmen or an outside contractor), and
• Describe communications relating to the availability of equipment due to failure or maintenance.
