The basic concepts of ISPS code are outlined as follows:

;
x
Ongoing training of crew and carrying out drills and exercises;
x
Identification of onboard items of security related equipment.
For port facilities, these requirements include:
x
Creation of Port Facility Security Plans (PFSP);
x
Appointment and training of Port Facility Security Officers (PFSO);
x
Ongoing training of staff and carrying out drills and exercises;
x
Identification of items of security related equipment.
In addition, the ISPS Code further demands that ships and port facilities have in place measures to ensure
effective:
x
Monitoring and control over access to the ship or port facility;
x
Monitoring of the activities of people and cargo;
x
Readily available security communications.
Recognising that each ship (or even class of ship) and each port facility will undoubtedly present different
security related risks, the methods by which they meet their obligations in terms of the ISPS Code will vary
greatly.
These differing response measures are in effect formulated into either ship or port facility security plans, with
these plans ultimately being approved by the Administration (Flag State) or contracting government.
Additionnal security procedures improving the SSP can be found in the binder “Security Documents”.
