Introduction:
The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code represents a comprehensive set of measures designed to enhance the security of ships and port facilities. Developed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the ISPS Code is enforced through the SOLAS Convention, specifically Chapter XI-2, Special Measures to enhance maritime security.
The Code is structured into two parts, one mandatory and the other recommendatory, establishing a standardized, consistent risk management framework. This framework enables governments to calibrate security levels against the fluctuating threat landscape, ensuring ships and port facilities are safeguarded through appropriate security measures.
What is the ISPS Code:
The ISPS Code is a pivotal foundation for maritime security management, dictating the necessary steps for proactive defense against security threats within the maritime domain. It outlines the responsibilities of governments and shipping companies to adhere to a set of prescribed measures to maintain security at sea and prevent potential incidents.
Throughout the marine security management and ISPS code conference, participants will receive training aligned with ISPS Code requirements, facilitating their path to obtaining a maritime security certification.
This marine security management and ISPS code training aims to equip them with a sophisticated understanding of maritime security management, which is necessary to respond proactively to contemporary security challenges in the maritime sector.
