First mention of “security” in any IMO treaty, convention or resolution.

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

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.


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

PFSP FLOW CHART

Security Plan

• 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.

A Port Facility Security Assessment :

Port Facility Security AssessmentPort Facility Security Assessment

Security Plan

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

• 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.

Port Facility Security Assessment includes :


Security Plan

Port Facility Security PlanPort 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


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


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 modifications of the plan over

time.

Objectives


The IMPLICATION

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

NON-COMPLIANCE

The IMPLICATION

1. The non-conformance port facility is as bad as non-compliance 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.

NON-Conformance

The IMPLICATION
