Know Elements
In these cases, Master / SSO can show only the SSP section
that is required to prove the non-conformance as invalid.
2. Ship Security Assessment
You would like to ensure that your ship is not attacked. You
have responsibility to ensure that unauthorised persons are
not able to board your ship. how will you go about to achieve
all this ?
§ Which are the key shipboard operations and areas that are
prone to security incident
For this reason, SSO must read the SSP thoroughly and
preferably make notes of key points specific to SSP of the
ship he must know at all times.
Whatever the SSO feel should include in the SSP which isn’t
included, he can mention that in his SSP review.
5. Security levels
§ Security Level 2
§ Security Level 3
Security level 1 requires minimum security measures and is
the normal security level all ships and ports are supposed to
operate.
If the security level of the port is higher than the ship, the
ship must increase the security level to same as the port.
This means that in this case, the ship will have lower security
level but will have same security measures that are required
as per higher security level in SSP.
6. Declaration of security
As the name suggests, declaration of security is security
related declaration between two parties. One of the party is
own ship and other party can either be a port or another
ship.
§ Ship is doing operations with a ship the flag of which has not
ratified the ISPS code and thus do not have an approved ship
security plan
Another question is why do we need to fill DOS. As you
would notice in above situations that the ship is either at
higher security level or is dealing with port or ship that does
not comply with ISPS code.
The test procedure is given in the SSP. SSO must know this
procedure of testing.
Conclusion
ISPS code may not have been able to put an end to the
security incidents around the world. But it has surely given a
framework for deterrence in the security issues around the
world.
