The International Ship and Port Facility
Security (ISPS) Code, which came into effect on July 1,
2004, is comprehensive security regime that seeks to
establish an international framework of co-operation among
governments, government agencies and the shipping and port
industries to detect and take preventive measures against
security incidents affecting ships and port facilities used
in international trade.
The key to successful implementation of the
ISPS Code rests with the development of practical Security
Plans that are underpinned by comprehensive Security
Assessments which examine and quantify the security risk
profiles of a ship or port facility in terms of threats,
vulnerability and consequences.
STET Maritime have comprehensive ship and
port facility security consultancy services designed to
assist ship owners and port facility operators to meet these
challenges.
