Port Facility [and Fixed and Floating Platform] Security |
9.1
Security measures and procedures reduce port facility vulnerability. Increased levels of threat have a significant influence on the number and type of security measures used and the degree of measures and procedures adopted. The measures implemented should take into account the current assessment of the likely threat together with local conditions and circumstances. Security measures and procedures shall be applied at the port facility in such a manner as to cause a minimum of interference with, or delay to, passenger, ship, goods and services, taking into account the requirements for Ship Security Plans referred to in Section A/5 of this Code.
[9.2 The following on-scene security measures shall be considered:
.1 restricted areas;
.2 security barriers;
.3 security lighting;
.4 security alarms and communication systems;
.5 access control and identification; and
.6 security personnel]

Port Facility [and Fixed and Floating Platform] Security Plan |
10.1
Each port facility shall develop and maintain an appropriate Port Facility Security Plan or plans, adequate for local port vulnerabilities, risks and threat conditions and adequate for the anticipated ship/port interface. The plan shall be sufficiently flexible to take into account the level of security required for each port. The plan shall be developed from the point of view of ship/port interface and aimed at the ship security. The plan may be kept in an electronic format and shall be protected by means to prevent it from being deleted, destroyed or overwritten.
10.2
Such a plan shall be [in accordance with] [Section [A][B]/.... of this Code][the Guidelines developed by the organization]. The plan shall consist at least of:

.7 procedures and requirements for exercises and drills;
.8 procedures for auditing the security activities associated with the plan;
.9 procedures for interfacing with ship security activities;
.10 procedures for ensuring consistency between security requirements and safety requirements;
.11 procedures for the periodic review and updating of the plan;
.12 procedures for reporting unlawful acts threatening the security of the port facility;
.13 identification of the Port Facility Security Officer; and
.14 measures to ensure the security of the information contained in the plan;
10.3
In developing and updating the Port Facility Security Plan the port facility vulnerability assessment referred to in Section A/11 of this Code shall be taken into account.
10.4
The Port Facility Security Plan may be [combined with] [part of] the port security plan or any other port emergency plan or plans,
[10.5 The Port Facility Security Plan shall be approved by the Contracting Government in whose territory the port facility is located or by an authority designated for that purpose by the Contracting Government.]
