ISPS International Ship and Port Facility Security Code
MTSA Maritime Transportation Security Act
IMO Diplomatic Conference • December 2002 • Attended by 108 Contracting Governments • Adopted amendments to the 1974 Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention. • Resulted in the new International Ship and Port Facility Code (ISPS).
ISPS • Part A – contains security related requirements for Governments, port authorities and shipping companies. • Part B – guidelines on how to meet new requirements.
Purpose of ISPS Provides a standardized framework for evaluating risk.
Port Facility Security Assessments 1- Identify and evaluate important assets and infrastructure critical to the port facility as well as areas or structures that, if damaged, could cause significant loss of life or damage to the economy or environment.
Port Facility Security Assessments 2- Identify actual threats in order to prioritize security measures
Port Facility Security Assessments 3 – Assess vulnerability by identifying weaknesses in physical security, transportation infrastructure, structural integrity, protection systems, policies, communications, utilities, and other likely targets in the port.
Ship security requirements • Security Plans • Security Officers (company & ship) • Certain onboard equipment • Monitoring and access control • Monitoring people and cargo • Ensure comms readily available
Port facility security requirements • Security plans • Facility security officers • Certain security equipment • Monitoring and access control • Monitoring people and cargo • Ensure comms readily available
Security Levels • Security Level 1 – normal • Security Level 2 – medium threat • Security Level 3 – high threat
Security Levels • Creates a link between the ship and port facility. • Triggers implementation of security measures for the ship and facility.
Increased threat level? Counteraction = reduce vulnerability
CSO and SSO • Company – Company Security Officer • Ship – Ship Security Officer
CSO • Ensure SSA conducted • SSP prepared and submitted for approval
Ship Security Plan • Operational and physical security measures to always operate in Level 1 • Security measures increase with security measures • Response actions
Port Facility • Contracting Governments ensure completion of a Port Facility Security Assessment for facilities serving ships on international voyages. • Assessments determine which facilities are required to appoint FSOs and develop security plans
Security Risk • Threat of an attack coupled with the vulnerability of the target and the consequence of an attack.
Contracting Governments • Issues International Ship Security Certificates • Approves Facility plans
Amendments to SOLAS • Automatic Identification System (AIS) • Ships’ id numbers marked on hull

33 CFR 105 • Facilities Security Overview • The MTSA regulations found in 33 CFR 105 increase Coast Guard inspection and oversight responsibilities by expanding upon the definition of “facility”. It also increases the Coast Guard’s jurisdictional boundaries.
Applicability • In addition to the historic definition of waterfront facilities, the new definition of facility has been expanded to include:· Barge fleeting facilities that receive barges carrying combustible or flammable liquid cargos in bulk, certain bulk dangerous cargoes, or Certain Dangerous Cargoes;· Facilities that receive vessels that carry more than 150 passengers;· Facilities that receive vessels (U.S. and foreign) subject to SOLAS;· Facilities that receive cargo vessels greater than 100 gross tons on international voyages, including the Great Lakes.Also, the Coast Guard’s jurisdictional boundary now encompasses the entire shore side complex of the facility.
