Maritime Security Overview
SOLAS chapter XI-2 and ISPS Code
SOLAS chapter XI-2 and ISPS Code were major focus of IMO during adoption and early
implementation (2004-2008)
In 2009-2010, focus shifted to other pressing issues, including:
•
Piracy and Armed Robbery
•
Long Range Identification and Tracking
There is recognized need to reinvigorate ISPS-related efforts and make better linkages
between ISPS and other ongoing IMO initiatives, ie:
•
Benefits of ISPS code to anti-piracy efforts
•
Utility of LRIT for enhanced Maritime Situational Awareness
•
Role of Seafarers in a security regime
•
Balance between facilitation of trade and security
A robust security framework and regime is a deterrent for all types of crime
2010: Year of the Seafarer
Security-related training for ship’s crews and port-facility security personnel
