Ship, mobile offshore drilling unit [and offshore facility] security |
5.1 General
[to be further developed]
5.2 Guidelines for the development of ship, mobile offshore drilling unit [and offshore facility] security plan
[to be further developed]
5.3 Security measures to be considered.
5.3.1 Restricted areas
5.3.1.1 The establishment of restricted areas on-board ships (e.g. bridge, engine-room, radio-room etc.) is recommended.
5.3.1.2 The use, number and distribution of master keys on-board ships should be controlled by the master.
5.3.1.3 The ship security plan should provide for immediate corrective action in the event of security being compromised by potential misuse or loss of keys.
5.3.2 Deck and overside lighting
5.3.2.1 While in port, at anchor or underway the ship's deck and overside should be illuminated in periods of darkness and restricted visibility, but not so as to interfere with the required navigation lights and safe navigation.]
5.3.3 Security alarms and communication systems
5.3.3.1 Security alarms and devices may be appropriate in restricted areas and at access points to the ship, as a complement to guards and patrols. Immediate appropriate response to an alarm is important if the security alarms and devices are to be effective.
5.3.3.2 In view of the wide range of technical matters which must be taken into account in deciding upon the device or system best suited for application in each environment, it is prudent that the advice of a qualified expert be obtained before a decision is made on the system or device to be used.
5.3.3.3 A means of discreet or covert communications by radio, direct-line facilities or other reliable means should be provided in each restricted zone and at each access point for use by security or operating personnel to contact the ship security officer in the event assistance is required.

Guidelines for the training of personnel involved in the inspection, controls
and monitoring of ship, mobile offshore drilling unit [and offshore facility]
security
5.7.1
Instruction and training, as appropriate, for persons assigned to conduct inspection,
controls and monitoring on board ships should take into consideration, as appropriate,
the following:
.1 responsibilities under the port facility or ship security plan;
.2 inspection, controls and monitoring regulations or
policies and pertinent laws;
.3 detection and identification of fire- arms, weapons and other dangerous substances and devices;
.4 operation and testing of security equipment, if used;
.5 physical search methods of persons, baggage, cargo and ship's stores;
.6 emergency procedures;
.7 recognition of characteristics and behavioral patterns of persons who are likely to commit unlawful acts;
.8 human relations techniques; and
.9 techniques used to circumvent security measures.

Port facility [and fixed and floating platform] security |
6.1 General
[to be further developed]
6.2 Guidelines for the development of port facility [and fixed and floating platform] security plans, including criteria for ship/port interface.
The following points should be considered:
.1 security plans should be developed for ports and/or for individual port facilities after an initial security assessment survey has been conducted, taking into consideration the risk/vulnerability assessments;
.2 the conduct of the initial assessment and the development of the subsequent security plans should be the responsibility of the management rather than that of a port facility security officer. The overall port assessment and development of an overall port security plan should be the responsibility of a port security committee under the supervision of the designated authority;
.3 port security plans should provide for the evaluation of all port personnel and not only those with responsibilities for any aspect of security. The evaluation should take into account the person's position in the company and access to vulnerable areas;
.4 individual port facility security plans should be approved by a port security committee and integrated into an overall port security plan. The plans should cater for different levels of threats. In this connection the development of harmonised criteria for establishing threat levels should be considered;
.5 an integration of the security plan into an overall emergency plan might be advantageous ;
the plan may also take into account all unlawful acts committed in the port
any measures recommended in IMO instruments covering this issue should be looked at with the view to integrate those that would be appropriate for enhancing security;
.6 port and individual port facility security plans should be subject to an implementation survey and regular, rather than periodical, improvement surveys. These surveys should be conducted by qualified auditors with special knowledge in security under the responsibility of a port security committee; and
.7 access controls should be expanded to cover access
to and restriction of movements within the whole port area and/or certain restricted
areas, as appropriate, based on the risk/vulnerability involved. It should include
access and movement controls of shore and ship personnel, passengers, road vehicles,
railway wagons, barges, service craft, pleasure craft, cargoes or other commodities
moving by such means or other means such as pipelines and conveyor belts.
