8 Reports of Unlawful Acts
Appendix 1 - Passenger Ferry Security (MSC/Circ.754)
Measures to prevent terrorism and other unlawful acts against ships, passengers and crews on board ships, port personnel, ports and port facilities
1 Introduction
1.1
Assembly resolution A.584(14) directed that internationally agreed measures should be developed, on a priority basis, by the Maritime Safety Committee to ensure the safety of ships and the security of passengers and crews. The measures were expanded in MSC/Circ.443 and have now been further expanded to cover security of ships, passengers and crews on board ships, port personnel, ports and port facilities.

2 General provisions
2.1
Governments, port authorities, administrations, shipowners, operators, shipmasters and crews should take all appropriate measures against unlawful acts threatening passengers and crews on board ships, port personnel, ports and port facilities. The measures implemented should take into account the current assessment of the likely threat together with local conditions and circumstances.
2.2
Governments should identify a designated authority responsible to ensure the development, implementation and maintenance of ship security plans and port security management systems.
2.3
The establishment, by the national designated authority, of national and/or local port security committees is recommended comprising but not limited to representatives of:
- Maritime administrations
- Ministries concerned with security;
- Port Authorities;
- Police;
- Navy;
- Coast Guard;
- Customs;
- Immigration;
- Emergency Services;
- Representatives of port users such as terminal and plant operators, refineries, stevedores, shipping companies and agencies, etc.; and
- Private security firms operating in the port.
- [Labour organizations]
2.4
It is desirable that there be appropriate legislation or regulations which, inter alia, could provide penalties for persons gaining or attempting to gain unauthorized access to the port facility and persons committing unlawful acts against ships, passengers and crews on board ships, port personnel, ports and port facilities. Governments should review their national legislation, regulations and guidance to determine their adequacy to maintain security on board ships and in port facilities.
2.5
The establishment of a port security management system based on guidelines developed by the designated authority should be taken into account. The development, implementation and maintenance of an overall port security plan, as well as individual port facility security plans, should be part of the port security management system, covering all port operations.
2.6
Risk/Vulnerability assessments of the port, its installations and approaches should be conducted. In this connection, there is a need for developing criteria to be used for such assessments. The areas to be considered should be expanded to cover also cargoes in general, dangerous goods storage areas, processing areas, chemical plants, and refineries, dredged channels, areas covered by VTS operations, etc.
2.7
In all cases where training is required by this guidance, it should meet the following criteria:
.1 have a clearly defined objective, i.e. the attainment of an established minimum standard of proficiency, knowledge and skill to be demonstrated by each individual;
.2 be comprehensive
.3 have an effective system of presentation;
.4 use adequate training equipment and aids; and
.5 have an adequate number of qualified instructors;
2.8
Appropriate law enforcement personnel, when not directly involved in or responsible for port facility security, should receive a general briefing to become familiar with port and ship operations and the training of port facility and ship operator security personnel. They should also be orientated regarding inspection, control and monitoring and the security plans.
2.9
The prompt and continuing dissemination and exchange of information will assist the maintenance of effective port and ship security procedures and will enable States, port facilities, operators and shipmasters to adjust their procedures in response to changing conditions and the specific or general threats.
2.10
Effective port and ship security requires efficient two-way communications for the exchange of information at all levels both domestic and with the governments and organizations concerned. The prompt, clear and orderly dissemination of such information is vital to the success of the security programme.
[2.11 Governments should notify the Secretary-General of progress made in the implementation of security measures. Any useful information, which might assist other governments in their implementation of measures, on any difficulties and problems which arose and were overcome during implementation of the security measures, should be forwarded with the notification. The designated authority should co-operate with similar authorities of other governments in the exchange of appropriate information.]
2.12
Governments concerned with an act of unlawful interference should provide the Organization with all pertinent information concerning the security aspects of the act of unlawful interference as soon as practicable after the act is resolved. Further information and a reporting format is given in section 8.
2.13
Governments and port authorities should ensure the application of these measures to ships and port facilities in a fair manner.
