INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
It
is recognized that maritime security is an integral part of the overall safety
of the ship, the
People on-board and the environment.
It
is in the interest of everyone on board to ensure that all practical steps are
taken in order to
Minimize risk and improve security.
The
security procedures and guidance laid down within this manual include steps to
ensure the
Maintenance of the vessel’s integrity to protect against the
introduction of unauthorized
Personnel or material.
The
objective of this plan is therefore to assist the Master and the crew in
organising effective
Security
on board by giving practical guidance on how to implement procedures to help DETECT
AND DETER likely occurrence of security
incidents.
The
objective and the functional requirement of the code as stated in Section A/1
of the ISPS
Code
is taken into account.
1.2 PURPOSE
Commercial marine vessels provide a target of opportunity for those
desiring to commit criminal
Acts
and inflict harm to others
This Ship Security Plan has been developed
to enhance the security of this vessel and crew
through
awareness, prevention and response, thus reducing the risk of a security breach
and
associated consequences.
1.3 OBJECTIVES
To
accomplish this purpose, the objectives of the Ship Security Plan are as
follows:
·
To gather
and assess information with respect to security threats, vulnerabilities and
consequences based on the voyage patterns, physical and operation
characteristics, and incorporate appropriate mitigation measures;
·
To provide and maintain communication protocol on-board
and between vessels and facilities;
·
To prevent or deter unauthorized access to vessel and
its restricted areas;
·
To prevent or deter the introduction of prohibited
weapons, incendiary devices, or explosive to vessel ;
·
To provide means for raising the alarm in reaction to
security threats or security incidents;
·
To develop and implement vessel security procedures
based upon the corresponding threat; and
·
To carry out regular training and drills to ensure
familiarity with security plans and procedures.
1.4 SCOPE

ISPS A/6)
The Company wishes to make it clear
that the master of this SHIP has the overriding authority and responsibility to
make and execute decisions, which, in his professional judgement, are necessary
to maintain the safety and security of the SHIP. If, in his professional judgement, a conflict
between any safety and security requirements applicable to this SHIP arises
during his period of command, the master will give effect to those requirements
necessary to maintain the safety of the SHIP (ISPS A/6.1).
In such cases, the master
may implement temporary security measures, informing the Company Security
Officer, the flag state and, if appropriate, the port state in whose port the
SHIP is operating or intends to enter.
Any such temporary security measures adopted will, to the highest
possible degree, be appropriate to the prevailing security level (SOLAS
XI-2/8.2).
3.2.4 DUTIES OF SHIP BOARD
PERSONNEL
These
are listed in confidential part of this manual and ship specific ISM Code
manual. The crew shall be deputed by SSO in accordance with ship security
requirements with due regard to emergency plan and rest hours of watch keeping
personnel.
3.2.5
SHIP RELATIONSHIPS (ISPS A/9.4.10, A/5, B/9.2.2)
COMMUNICATIONS (Sec. 5)
The
Company
1 The
SHIP [the
SHIP Security Officer] will maintain regular contact with the Company
through the CSO or, in the event of his unavailability, with the Company Duty
Officer by [mobile]. The system allows for
effective continuous communication to be established and maintained with the
Company (ISPS B/9.2.3).
Port
Facilities
2 Unless
alternative arrangements have been made, the SHIP will establish contact with
the appropriate authority prior to entry into port by [VHF], providing them with the required security
information. The system allows for
effective continuous communication to be established and maintained with port
facilities (ISPS B/9.2.3).
3 On
arrival at a port, the SSO will liaise with the Port Facility Security Officer
to determine the applicable SECURITY security level for the SHIP, agree on
appropriate security measures and ensure that these are put in place.
Other
Ships
4 The
Company has no objection to this SHIP establishing contact with other Ships to
exchange information in respect of the overall security situation or the
situation in specific
ports
by [VHF]. The system allows for
effective continuous communication to be established and maintained with other
Ships in the vicinity (ISPS B/9.2.3).
Flag
State Authority
5 The
background SECURITY level for the SHIP is established by the flag state
authority (a higher level might be set by port state authorities for a
particular port). Changes to the
SECURITY level for the SHIP are the responsibility of the flag state and will
be promulgated to all the Ships registered with the flag state by DG Shipping.
COMMUNICATION CENTRE established by DG Shipping in Mumbai shall communicate
changes in security level to Indian Ports and CSO. Alternatively, changes will be advised to the
CSO and, through him, to the SHIP from other administrations. The ship shall
acknowledge receipt to CSO and DG Com centre and follow instructions given by
flag state administration.
Information from the flag state will be
communicated to the SHIP by the CSO (ISPS B/9.2.7).
Port State Authorities
6 The
SECURITY level for ports is established by the port state authority. While the SHIP is in port it will introduce
measures appropriate to that SECURITY level, as laid down in this Plan. Port / SSO will intimate CSO and DG Com
centre any changes to the SECURITY level for the port and follow instructions
from port control. Initiate additional measures if any depending on security
level intimated. PFSO is responsible for promulgating to all the Ships in the
port or which have reported an intention to enter the port prevailing security
level. The communication procedures
likely to be used by port state authorities are listed in Appendix A to this
section (ISPS B/9.2.7).
Procedures/Safeguards (ISPS B/9.7.2)
7.
The SHIP fully conforms to the requirements
of SOLAS IV and is capable of transmitting SHIP-to-shore distress alerts by at
least two separate and independent means, each using a different radio
communication service. In particular,
each radio installation is located, protected, provided with lighting and
clearly marked in accordance with SOLAS IV/6.
ΓΌ DETAILS REQUIRED FOR PORT STATE INSPECTION
The
following information and/or documents can be requested at any time by duly
authorised flag or port state officials and should, therefore, be readily
available:
a) The valid Ship Security Certificate (SSC), issued [by the port] under the provisions of
DGS Circular and under the provisions of the guidelines from the Directorate.
b) Confirmation that this Plan has
been approved by, or on behalf of, the flag state.
c) The security level at which the SHIP is currently
operating (SOLAS XI-2/9.2.1)
d) Other practical security related
information (but not details of the SHIP Security Plan) (e.g. location of the SHIP
at the time the report is made, crew list, general description of operations
(SOLAS XI-2/9.2.1).
e) Information contained in the Continuous Synopsis
Record (CSR), issued by the Ship’s flag state (if applicable). Entries to this unofficial record will not be
amended without the authority of the Company Security Officer (SOLAS XI-1/5,
ISPS B/4.39).
d) Information on the ownership and operational
management of the SHIP (see Appendix D to this section) (SOLAS XI-2/5).
The
master may decline to provide any or all of the above information on the
understanding that to do so may result in denial of entry into port (SOLAS
XI-2/9.2.2).
3.2.5 Interfacing with Port Facility Security
Activities (ISPS B/4.11)
While
it is the responsibility of the SHIP to protect the perimeter of the SHIP from
unauthorised access, it is the responsibility of the port facility to protect
that area of the port which interfaces with the SHIP i.e. the port facility.
Port facility
is defined in the ISPS Code as “a location, as determined by the Contracting
Government or by the Designated Authority, where the SHIP/port interface takes
place. This includes areas such as anchorages, awaiting berths and approaches
from seaward, as appropriate”.
Under the ISPS Code, similar arrangements are required of
the port facility as are required of the SHIP – there must be a Port Facility
Security Officer (the equivalent of the SSO) and there must be a Port Facility
Security Plan (the equivalent of the SHIP Security Plan).
Each port, like each SHIP, is different, with different
potential threats, vulnerabilities and capabilities. It is therefore essential that, to the
greatest degree possible, the security measures adopted by the port facility
and the SHIP are complementary and, together, provide an effective and
appropriate response to perceived security threats, both to the SHIP and to the
port. Liaison between the SHIP and the
port is an essential factor in ensuring this.
During
the SHIP Security Assessment, the results of which were fully taken into
account during the preparation of this SHIP Security Plan, the levels of
security at this Ship’s regular ports of call were evaluated and the CSO
established contact with the security authorities in those ports (see Appendix
A to this section). The Company has
determined that in specific ports, the SHIP will adopt specific security
measures. These are listed in Appendix B
to this section.
However, the Company encourages the
SSO to establish contact with the appropriate Port Facility Security Officer at
each port facility visited to ensure that appropriate security measures are
adopted by both the SHIP and the port such that, together, adequate procedures
are in place. New contact details should
be recorded by the SSO (see Appendix A to this section) and reported to the CSO
who will arrange for SHIP Security Plans to be updated.
Prior to Entering Port
Prior
to entering a port, the SHIP may be requested to provide the following
information to the designated authority of the port or to the Port Facility
Security Officer:
.1 confirmations
that the SHIP possesses a valid International SHIP Security Certificate and the
name of the issuing authority;
.2 Confirmation
of the security level at which the SHIP is currently operating;
.3 Confirmation
of the security level at which the SHIP operated in the ten previous ports
where it has conducted a relevant SHIP/port interface (or over the past 90 days
– whichever is longer);
.4 confirmation
of any special or additional security measures that were taken by the SHIP in
any of the ten previous ports where it has conducted a relevant SHIP/port
interface (or over the past 90 days – whichever is the longer);
.5 confirmation
that the appropriate SHIP security procedures were maintained during any
previous relevant SHIP-to-SHIP activity at the ten previous ports (or over the
past 90 days – whichever is longer); or
.6 other
practical security related information (but not details of the SHIP Security
Plan).
On Arrival in Port
The SSO will liaise at the earliest
opportunity with the Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) to establish the
security level applicable to the SHIP at the port facility. Ships will be advised by the port of any
change to that level. The port should
also provide the SHIP with any relevant security information.
The SSO will establish, if not
already known, the access control system operated by the port facility. The Ship’s own access control routines can be
amended at SECURITY Level 1 (normal) to take this into account.
Differing Security Levels (ISPS B/4.12, B/9.50)
On
rare occasions, the SHIP may need to operate at a higher security level than
that applicable to the port facility. On
such occasions, the SSO will advise the designated authority for that
port. Following consultation with the
Port Facility Security Officer, the master and, if necessary, the CSO will
adopt such measures as are necessary to maintain the security of the SHIP to
the appropriate level.
There
will be no circumstances when a SHIP can have a lower security level than the
port facility it is visiting.
The Declaration of Security (ISPS A/5)
[presently NA]
Occasionally,
a Port Facility Security Officer may require the SHIP to contribute towards the
completion of a “Declaration of Security” (an example can be found in Appendix
C to this section). The Declaration of
Security shows that an agreement has been reached between the SHIP and the port
as to the security measures each should take.
This document may also be requested when conducting SHIP-to-SHIP
interfaces.
The
Declaration of Security is completed by:
.1 Either
the master or the SSO on behalf of the SHIP; and
.2 Either
the Port Facility Security Officer or, if the contracting government determines
otherwise, by any other body responsible for shore side security, on behalf of
the port facility.
The Company has no reservations about Ships’ masters
or SSOs agreeing to a request from the port, or another SHIP, to complete such
a document. However, if one is completed
a signed copy should be kept on board and another sent to the CSO.
A SHIP can request completion of a
Declaration of Security when:
.1 It
is operating at a higher security level than the port facility (or another
SHIP) it is interfacing with;
.2 there
is an agreement between contracting governments on the need to obtain a
Declaration of Security covering certain international voyages or specific
Ships on those voyages;
.3 there
has been a security threat or a security incident involving the SHIP or
involving the port facility, as applicable;
.4 the
SHIP is at a port which is not required to have and implement an approved Port
Facility Security Plan; or
.5 the
SHIP is conducting SHIP-to-SHIP activities with another SHIP not required to
have and implement an approved SHIP Security Plan.
The
CSO will notify the SHIP when a Declaration of Security should be requested
from a port. The master or SSO may also
request the completion of a Declaration of Security if, in their professional
judgement, this would contribute to SHIP security. Any completed Declarations of Security
related to the most recent ten port calls (SOLAS XI-2/9.2.3) or over the past
90 days (US requirement), whichever is longer, will be retained on board [unless the flag state specifies a
shorter/different period].
There
is no obligation under the ISPS Code for the port facility, or another SHIP, to
provide such a document on request from a SHIP.
However, requests by the SHIP for the completion of a Declaration of
Security must be acknowledged by the applicable port facility or SHIP (ISPS
A/5.2.1). Any such acknowledgements will
be retained on board for the most recent ten port calls (or over the past 90
days – whichever is the longer).
Reporting Following Departure
If,
following departure from a port, the master or SSO has any comments on the
security arrangements in that port, they will produce a Port Facility Security
Assessment for the CSO, to provide information to assess the strengths and
weaknesses of security systems and procedures at a port facility. A suggested format for such an assessment is
given in Appendix – “D” to this section.
If security measures are found to be inadequate, steps will be taken by
the Company to compensate.
3.3 SHIP BOARD SECURITY TEAM
A shipboard security team shall
be formed to respond to any security incident or threat. The ship security
officer shall be the leader of the SST and along with the master shall be
responsible for taking any action that is required to secure the safely of the
vessel and crew and to minimize the impact of the damage that may be caused by
the incident.
The master and SSO shall determine
to number of personnel assigned to the SST, depending on the nature of the
security incident. Guidance may be taken from the contingency response
guideline given in appendix 9 of this plan for formation of the SST.
.shipboard security team member shall be
trained in the duties that they are expected to perform during such contingencies
and the method to be adopted to safeguard them during the response.
3.4 SECURITY BRIEFINGS
Upon Arrival in port, the ship
security officer will give an initial security briefing to the slip’
Officers and designated crew with
security responsibilities..
The purpose of these briefings is
to provide information on the security level, any special threats, and ship’s
officers and designed crew with security responsibilities.
