A plan developed to ensure the application of measures onboard the ship, designed to protect persons onboard, cargo, cargo transport units, ship’s stores or the ship from the risks of a security incident.

Any activity not related to a port facility that involves the transfer of goods or persons from one ship to another.

The qualification of the degree of risk that a security incident will be attempted or will occur.

The level for which minimum appropriate protective security measures shall be maintained at all times; in other words, these are the normal, every day security measures.

The level for which appropriate additional protective security measures will be maintained for a period of time as a result of heightened risk of a security incident. Security Level 2 means that there is a heightened threat of an unlawful act against a port, waterfront facility or ship and intelligence indicates that terrorists are likely to be active within a specific area or against a specific class of target. This risk level indicates that a particular segment of the industry may be in jeopardy, but that no specific target has been identified.

The level for which further protective security measures shall be maintained when a security incident is probable or imminent, although it may not be possible to identify the specific target. It means the threat of an unlawful act or generally speaking a security incident against a port, waterfront facility, or ship is probable or imminent. Intelligence may indicate that terrorists have chosen specific targets, though it may not be possible to identify such targets. Additional protective security measures are not intended to be sustained for substantial periods but for a limited period of time.

A vehicle that, by the totality of the circumstances surrounding its appearance or actions, including, but not limited to, operation contrary to posted guidance and the experience and training of the observing official, presents a particularized and objective basis to suspect that it is engaged in unusual or out of the ordinary behavior.

A security incident resulting in a significant loss of life, environmental damage, transportation system disruption or economic disruption in a particular area.

The audit of the SSP and associated procedures, checking the operational status of the Ship Security Alert System and a representative sample of associated security systems and equipment mentioned in the SSP.

This Ship Security Plan has been written in accordance with the requirements of SOLAS Chapter XI-2 and part Α of the ISPS Code. The Plan contains all information and operational instructions required, and takes into account, where applicable, the guidance outlined in Part Β of the Code, Flag State requirements and United States Coast Guard (USCG) rules and regulations. The Plan contains the names, telephone numbers, etc. of all contacts required by the ISPS Code as well as other reference material.

The purpose of this Plan is to contribute to the prevention of illegal acts against the ship, its crew, cargo and passengers by providing guidance to the SSO, and the rest of the crew with respect to security awareness, incident prevention and threat response.

The Plan has been developed following a Ship Security Assessment and an “on-scene” security survey which identified existing security measures and procedures and evaluated possible threats to those key shipboard operations which are important to protect. The findings of this assessment have been incorporated into this Plan. The assessment has been documented, reviewed, accepted and is included in the confidential part of this Plan.

This Plan must be available onboard at all times and the measures outlined must always be implemented.

The Plan will be regularly reviewed and updated. Review is the responsibility of the Company and will be carried out at intervals not exceeding 12 months. Following an incident in which the plan has been activated, there will be a thorough review of its effectiveness. Details of reviews, audits and amendments to the SSP are recorded and, on request, will be made available to persons duly authorized by the ship’s Flag State Administration.

The SSP has been approved by the Flag Administration and no significant alteration or revision shall be made to any part of it without the prior approval of the Flag Administration. The Flag Administration has agreed that changes to some sections of this Plan and their relevant Annexes will not be required to be approved by them. These parts are maintained and kept up to date by the Company.

Authorized copies of the Plan are controlled so that all authorized holders have the current revision. Distribution of this SSP must be controlled so that it is restricted to personnel that have a need to know, for purposes of implementing or assessing the Plan. All transmittals of a copy of the information in this Plan shall include a warning that the information is sensitive and must be protected.

The SSP will not be subject to inspection by Officers duly authorized by a Port State to carry out control and compliance measures unless these Officers have “clear grounds” to believe that the ship is not in compliance with the requirements of SOLAS Chapter XI-2 or Part A of the ISPS Code and the only means to verify or rectify the non-compliance is to review the relevant requirements of the SSP. In such cases, limited access to the specific sections of the Plan relating to the non-compliance is exceptionally allowed but only with the consent of either the flag state or the Master.

Any such request or demand will be immediately reported by the ship to the CSO for guidance and reference to the Flag State before any details are revealed to non-Flag State officials.

Nevertheless, Sections 3, 5, 6, 8, 11 & 12 of this Plan, related to the following, marked as “confidential” are considered STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL and cannot be subject to inspection unless otherwise agreed by the Flag State.

• Identification of the restricted areas and measures for the prevention of unauthorized access.

Procedures for responding to security threats or breaches of security, including provisions for maintaining critical operations of the ship or ship / port interface.

•

Procedures for responding to any security instructions the CG may give at Security Level 2 or 3.

•

Duties of shipboard personnel assigned with security responsibilities and of other shipboard personnel on security aspects.

•

Procedures to ensure the inspection, testing, calibration and maintenance of any security equipment provided onboard.

•

Identification of the locations where the SSAS activation points are provided.

Leaving management

When the ship leaves Company management, the SSO shall ensure that all documentation relevant to application of the SSP onboard the ship is returned to the CSO. The aforementioned documentation shall be kept in the Company's file for a minimum of 2 years from the date the ship leaves the Company's management. The certifying Authority must be immediately informed.

Introduction

S

The instructions and procedures described in the following sections cover the key shipboard procedures concerning the security of the ship, the cargo, passengers / visitors and its crew. They have been developed based on international rules and regulations, flag state requirements and guidelines issued by the shipping industry.

The contents of these instructions do not in any way restrict the Master’s authority to take steps and issue orders, whether or not these are in conformity with the contents of these procedures and instructions, provided that these activities are carried out in exceptional cases which are considered necessary for the security of the ship and its crew.

5.2.

Internationally Established Security Levels

The ship will operate at a security level as set out by the appropriate Port or Flag State Authorities.

The International Maritime Organization has established three security levels that determine the readiness condition of the ship:

Issue No.: 1 Revision No.: 0 Effective date: DD/MM/YY Page: 2 of 55

Security Level 1 - Normal This is the level at which ship and port facilities normally operate. At this level minimum appropriate protective security measures shall be maintained at all times. At this level there is no known specific threat of an unlawful act against the ship or its location.

Security Lever 2 – Heightened This risk level indicates that, although there is perceived to be a heightened risk of a security incident, no specific target has been identified. This is the level for which appropriate additional protective security measures shall be maintained for as long as there is a heightened risk of a security incident.

Security Level 3 – Exceptional This is the level for which exceptional protective security measures shall be maintained when there are specific indications that a security incident is probable or imminent, although it may not be possible to identify the specific target. This security level is only applied for the period of time when there is a probable or imminent risk of a security incident. At Security Level 3, Flag State Administrations and DAs will issue instructions relating to security measures that the ship shall follow.

The SSP and the SSA are verified, reviewed and evaluated continuously and at least once every year onboard the ship, through internal security audits. The purpose of these internal audits is to determine whether the defined and documented procedures and instructions adequately represent the security standards set by the Company and that all relevant procedures and instructions are implemented effectively onboard the ship in accordance with the ISPS Code and the Flag State requirements.

The CSO and SSO will review the SSA and the SSP, should it be identified during training, drills or following an incident that the SSA and / or the SSP are inappropriate or should they have to propose any suggestions for amendments and improvements.

10.1.

Introduction

The purpose of this procedure is to describe the necessary activities and controls to ensure that regular internal security audits of the SSP are carried out onboard the ship. The objective of this procedure is to ensure that the internal security audits are carried out in such a way as to measure the effectiveness of the SSP in achieving acceptable standards of performance in security activities and prevention of unlawful acts.

11.4.3. The Three Fundamental Requirements of BMP

Register at MSCHOA – Report to UKMTO – Implement SPMs

Register at MSCHOA Ensure that a “Vessel Movement Registration Form” has been submitted to MSCHOA prior to entering the High Risk Area (an area bounded by Suez and the Strait of Hormuz to the North, 10°S and 78°E). This may be done directly – online by the Ship’s Operator, by Fax, or by Email. (See Annex IV for details of the MSCHOA Vessel Movement Registration Form).

All vessel movements should be registered with MSCHOA even if the vessel is transiting as part of a National Convoy, there is a security team onboard or if not transiting the Gulf of Aden.

.2

Report to UKMTO On entering the UKMTO Voluntary Reporting Area – an area bounded by Suez to the North, 10°S and 78°E - ensure that a UKMTO “Vessel Position Reporting Form - Initial Report” is sent (see Annex II) Vessels are strongly encouraged to report daily to the UKMTO by email at 08:00 hours GMT whilst operating within the High Risk Area. The UKMTO “Vessel Position Reporting Form - Daily Position Report” (as set out in Annex II) should be used.

UKMTO acts as the primary point of contact for merchant vessels and liaison with military forces in the region and it is the primary point of contact during an attack. For this reason they should be aware that the vessel is transiting the High Risk Area.

.3

Implement SPMs The Ship Protection Measures described in BMP are the most basic that are likely to be effective. Owners may wish to consider making alterations to the vessel beyond the scope of these guidelines, and/or provide additional equipment, and/or manpower as a means of further reducing the risk of piracy attack.

If pirates are unable to board a ship they cannot hijack it.

Obtain the latest information from the MSCHOA and NATO Shipping Centre websites

It is strongly recommended that ship operators register for access to the restricted sections of the MSCHOA website (www.MSCHOA.org) prior to entering the High Risk Area as it contains additional and updated information. Note that this is not the same as registering a ship’s movement - see below.

Great care should be taken in voyage planning in the High Risk Area given that pirate attacks are taking place at extreme range from the Somali Coast. It is important to obtain the latest information from the MSCHOA and NATO Shipping Centre websites (www.MSCHOA.org and www.shipping.NATO.int) before planning and executing a voyage.

Review the Ship Security Assessment (SSA) and implementation of the Ship Security Plan (SSP), as required by the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS), to counter the piracy threat.

The Company Security Officer (CSO) is encouraged to ensure that a SSP is in place for a passage through the High Risk Area, and that this is exercised, briefed and discussed with the Master and the Ship Security Officer (SSO).

Ensure that ships are aware of any specific threats within the High Risk Areas that have been promulgated on the MSCHOA and NATO Shipping Centre websites – www.mschoa.org and www.shipping.NATO.int. Additionally all NAV WARNINGS – Sat C (NAVTEXT in limited areas) should be monitored and acted upon as appropriate by the Ships Master.

Offer the Ship’s Master guidance with regard to the recommended routeing through the High Risk Area and details of the piracy threat.

Guidance should be provided on the available methods of transiting the IRTC. (e.g. a Group Transit or National Convoys where these exist).

- Group Transits coordinated by MSCHOA within the IRTC, group vessels together by speed for maximum protection. Further details of Group Transit schemes including departure timings can be found on the MSCHOA website.

- National Convoys. A number of Naval / Military forces offer protected convoys through the IRTC. Details of the convoy schedules may be found on the MSCHOA website.

The provision of carefully planned and installed Ship Protection Measures prior to transiting the High Risk Area is very strongly recommended. Suggested Ship Protection Measures are set out herein – see Section 11.3. It has been proven that the use of Ship Protection Measures significantly increases the prospects of a ship resisting a pirate attack.

The drill should also consider the following: - Testing the vessel’s Ship Protection Measures, including testing of the security of all access points.

- The Ship Security Plan should be thoroughly reviewed.

Masters are advised to prepare an Emergency Communication Plan, to include all essential emergency contact numbers and prepared messages, which should be ready at hand or permanently displayed near all external communications stations (e.g. telephone numbers of the UKMTO, MSCHOA, Company Security Officer etc – see list of Contacts at Annex I).

Although the Master has the discretion to switch off the AIS if he believes that its use increases the ship’s vulnerability, in order to provide Naval / Military forces with tracking information it is recommended that AIS is left on throughout the High Risk Area, but that it is restricted to ship’s identity, position, course, speed, navigational status and safety-related information. The recommendation to keep the AIS on will be the subject of ongoing review – any updates will be notified on the MSCHOA and NATO Shipping Centre websites.

Use IRTC “Group Transit Scheme” while transiting through Gulf of Aden

It is strongly recommended that ships navigate within the IRTC, where Naval / Military forces are concentrated. Naval / Military forces operate the Group Transit Scheme within the IRTC which is coordinated by MSCHOA. This scheme groups vessels together by speed for maximum protection for their transit through the IRTC. Further guidance on the Group Transit Scheme, including the departure timings for the different groups, are included on the MSCHOA website or can be obtained by fax from MSCHOA (see contact details at Annex I). Use of the Group Transit Scheme is recommended. Masters should note that warships might not be within visual range of the ships in the Group Transit Scheme, but this does not lessen the protection afforded by the scheme.

Ships may be asked to make adjustments to passage plans to conform to MSCHOA advice. Ships joining a Group Transit should: - Carefully time their arrival to avoid a slow speed approach to the forming up point (Point A or B).

- Avoid waiting at the forming up point (Point A or B).

- Note that ships are particularly vulnerable to a pirate attack if they slowly approach or wait at the forming up points (Points A & B).

Some countries offer independent convoy escorts through the IRTC where merchant vessels are escorted by a warship. Details of the convoy schedules and how to apply to be included are detailed on the MSCHOA website (www.mschoa.org). It should be noted most national convoys require prior registration to enable vessels to join the convoy. Ships joining national convoys should note the issues in bullet point 10 as they are also highly relevant to vessels timing their arrival at a national convoy forming up point.

ANNEX REVISED INTERIM GUIDANCE TO SHIPOWNERS, SHIP OPERATORS, AND SHIPMASTERS ON THE USE OF PRIVATELY CONTRACTED ARMED SECURITY PERSONNEL ONBOARD SHIPS IN THE HIGH RISK AREA1 1.

Introduction

LE

The increased threat to commercial shipping by Somalia-based pirates has led to extended use of armed guards and a marked expansion in the number of firms offering armed maritime security services for vessels transiting the High Risk Area. The Organization, whilst not endorsing the use of privately contracted armed security personnel (PCASP), understands that shipping companies may find it difficult to identify reliable, professional private providers of armed security.

P

The decision on the employment of PCASP onboard ships is a complex one for a ship owner. The absence of applicable regulation and industry self-regulation coupled with complex legal requirements governing the legitimate transport, carriage and use of firearms2 gives cause for concern. This situation is further complicated by the rapid growth in the number of private maritime security companies (PMSC) and doubts about the capabilities and maturity of some of these companies. Significant competence and quality variations are present across the spectrum of contractors offering services.

M

The purpose of this guidance is to assist shipowners, ship operators and ship masters considering the use of PCASP onboard ships to provide additional protection against piracy.

It is important to note that flag State jurisdiction and thus any laws and regulations imposed by the flag State concerning the use of PMSC and PCASP apply to their vessels. Furthermore it is also important to note that port and coastal States' laws may also apply to such vessels.

Definitions

S

1.1

A

The use of PCASP should not be considered as an alternative to Best Management Practices (BMP) and other protective measures. Placing armed guards onboard as a means to secure and protect the vessel and its crew should only be considered after a risk assessment has been carried out. It is also important to involve the Master in the decision making process.

High Risk Area: an area as defined in the BMP unless otherwise defined by the flag State.

Private maritime security companies (PMSC): Private contractors employed to provide security personnel, both armed and unarmed, onboard for protection against piracy.

Privately contracted armed security personnel (PCASP): armed employees of PMSC.

1

High Risk Area: an area as defined in the Best Management Practices for Protection against Somalia Based Piracy (MSC.1/Circ.1339) unless otherwise defined by the flag State.

In the present guidance, all references to firearms include the associated ammunition, consumables, spare parts and maintenance equipment for use by PCASP, and all references to security-related equipment include protective and communication equipment for use by PCASP.

Risk Assessment

Shipowners should ensure that the flag State is consulted at an early stage in their consideration of the decision to place PCASP onboard to ensure that any statutory requirements are met.

Whether to use PCASP within the High Risk Area is a decision for the individual shipowner after a thorough risk assessment and after ensuring all other practical means of self protection have been employed.

LE

The risk assessment should include and document the following factors and considerations, prior to making the determination to take such actions: .1

vessel and crew security, safety and protection;

Service Provision Considerations

3.1

Insurance

Owners should verify that PMSC maintain insurance cover for themselves, their personnel and third-party liability cover and that the PMSC terms of engagement do not prejudice or potentially prejudice the shipowners' insurance cover.

Shipowners insurance cover Liabilities, losses and expenses arising out of the deployment of PCASP may impact on the shipowner's property and liability insurance cover. Shipowners are strongly recommended to consult with their insurers prior to contracting with and embarking PCASP to assess the potential impact on their insurance cover, particularly as it relates to armed engagements and liability insurance held by the PMSC.

SHIP SECURITY PLAN

11. ADDITIONAL SECURITY MEASURES WHEN OPERATING IN PIRACY HIGH RISK AREAS

Approved by: CSO

Issue No.: 1 Revision No.: 0 Effective date: DD/MM/YY Page: 37 of 43

PMSC insurance cover PMSC should provide evidence that they hold and will maintain for the duration of the contract: .1

public and employers liability insurance cover to an appropriate level and as required by the shipowner; and

.2

personal accident, medical expenses, hospitalization and repatriation insurance.

LE

The PMSC should insure its personnel to carry and use firearms on the high seas and territorial sea(s), for accident, injury and damage arising from the use of firearms and liability for any claim that might arise from the carriage and the use of firearms.

It is vital that shipowners, charterers and underwriters review all provisions in their charters and policies and ensure adequate attention is paid to the questions raised.

3.2

PCASP Team Size, Composition and Equipment

Ship safety certificate - the size of the PCASP team plus the crew should not exceed that specified in the Ship's Safety Certificate. If the ship safety certificate requirements cannot be met due to added security personnel, then the flag Administration should be consulted.

A

.2

Size of the PCASP Team - this will be influenced by factors including: length of the estimated time of the vessel transit, latest threat assessment, the agreed duties of the PCASP team (will they act as additional lookouts, assist with rigging self protection measures?) and the size and type of vessel. The analysis should indicate the minimum number of persons that should form the security team, taking into account the need for continuity of protection in the event of injury or illness.

M

.1

P

The size, composition and equipment of the proposed PCASP team should be carefully discussed and agreed as necessary by the shipowner contracting with the PMSC. Factors for consideration may include:

Composition - it is important that there is an appropriate hierarchy, experience and skill mix within the onboard PCASP team. The team leader should be competent in vessel vulnerability and risk assessments and be able to advise on ship protection measures. It is recommended that one of the PCASP personnel be qualified as the team medic.

.4

Equipment requirements - this will be influenced by factors including: length of the estimated time of the vessel transit, latest threat assessment, the agreed duties of the PCASP team, (will they act as additional lookouts, utilize day and night vision equipment, assist with rigging self protection measures?) and the size and type of vessel. Enhanced medical equipment is recommended.

Firearms - the appropriate firearms package to be employed in accordance with the applicable flag State national legislation pertaining to the type, carriage and use of firearms by PCASP, in order to provide an accurate and graduated level of deterrence, at a distance.

3.3 Command and Control of Onboard Security Team - including relationship with the Master

LE

A shipowner / operator when entering into a contract with a PMSC should ensure that the command and control structure linking the ship operator, the Master, the ship's officers and the PCASP team leader has been clearly defined and documented.

Further, prior to boarding the PCASP, the shipowner should ensure that the Master and crew are briefed and exercises are planned and conducted so that all the roles and responsibilities are understood by all personnel onboard prior to entering the High Risk Area.

In order to provide the required clarity, the documented command and control structure should provide: a clear statement that at all times the Master remains in command and retains the overriding authority onboard;

.2

a clearly documented set of vessel and voyage-specific governance procedures, inter alia, covering procedures in 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 which include procedures for conducting exercises based on these procedures;

a documented list of duties, expected conduct, behaviour and documentation of PCASP actions onboard; and

transparent two-way information flow and recognizable coordination and cooperation between the shipowner, charterer, PCASP, PMSC and the vessel's Master, officers and crew.

A

.4

M

.3

P

S

Factors to determine such success may include: .1

providing regular updated intelligence-based threat assessments throughout the contracted period onboard, and utilizing this information to offer suggestions as to the vessel's proposed routeing, amending same if required, and under the ship's contractual arrangements;

.2

monitoring the daily activities of the onboard PCASP;

.3

having a 24-hour Emergency Response and a Contingency Plan in place covering all potential actions; and

.4

providing feedback on crew training and ship hardening requirements based upon reports received from the PCASP.

Management of Firearms and Ammunition from Embarkation to Disembarkation

An essential requirement of the PCASP team will be to demonstrate responsible management and use of weapons and ammunition at all times when onboard.

Issues to be considered should include: documented compliance with the relevant flag, coastal and port State legislation and relationships governing the transport and provision of firearms, ammunition and security equipment to the point of embarkation and disembarkation or ports / places at which the vessel may call as part of its intended voyage whilst the PCASP team is onboard. PCASP should be able to prove that actual inventory carried matches all documented declarations;

.2

appropriate containers for firearms, ammunition and security equipment at the point of transfer to the ship;

.3

documented standards and procedures for a complete inventory of all firearms, ammunition and security equipment available upon arrival aboard the vessel (inventory should detail make, model, calibre, serial number and company end user certificate and proof of purchase of all firearms and accessories; and details of ammunition and amount);

.4

control procedures for separate and secure onboard stowage and deployment of firearms, ammunition and security equipment;

P

areas where firearms may or may not be carried, together with the weapon state (e.g. unloaded & magazine off, magazine on and safety catch on and no round chambered) and what will initiate a change in that state should be confirmed;

detailed and exercised orders for when firearms can be loaded and "made ready" for use should be confirmed, trained and documented during certain periods as listed in the PCASP contract, to ensure the highest of safety and operational capabilities for use of firearms aboard the vessel; and

A

.6

M

.5

LE

.1

the inventory should be reconciled on disembarkation of all firearms and ammunition from the vessel.

S

.7

3.5

Rules for the Use of Force

It is essential that all PCASP have a complete understanding of the rules for the use of force as agreed between shipowner, PMSC and Master and fully comply with them. PCASP should be fully aware that their primary function is the prevention of boarding using the minimal force necessary to do so. The PMSC should provide a detailed graduated response plan to a pirate attack as part of its teams' operational procedures.

PMSC should require their personnel to take all reasonable steps to avoid the use of force. If force is used, it should be in a manner consistent with applicable law. In no case should the use of force exceed what is strictly necessary, and in all cases should be proportionate to the threat and appropriate to the situation.

PMSC should require that their personnel not use firearms against persons except in self-defence or defence of others against the imminent threat of death or serious injury, or to prevent the perpetration of a particularly serious crime involving grave threat to life.

3.6

Reporting and Record Keeping

The Master should maintain a log of every circumstance in which firearms are discharged, whether accidental or deliberate. Such actions should be fully documented in sufficient detail in order to produce a formal written record of the incident.

The requirements of a formal written report may be considered to include the following: time and location of the incident;

.2

details of events leading up to the incident;

.3

written statements by all witnesses and those involved from the vessel crew

LE

details of the incident;

.6

injuries and/or material damage sustained during the incident; and

.7

lessons learned from the incident and, where applicable, recommended

P

.4

procedures to prevent a recurrence of the incident.

M

In the event that the PCASP uses force, PCASP team leaders should be advised to photograph (if appropriate), log, report and collate contemporaneous written statements from all persons present at the incident in anticipation of legal proceedings.

3.7

A

In addition to incident reporting it is suggested that following a tour of duty the PCASP team should submit a full report to the shipowner / ship operator, via their employers if required, giving full details of the deployment, operational matters, any training and/or ship hardening conducted, and offering advice as to any further enhancements to security that may be considered.

Categorization of PCASP

S

Ship owners/operators should refer to any applicable national legislation of the flag State in relation to the categorization of PCASP onboard their ships.

3.8

Reporting within the High Risk Area

The Master should report to the appropriate military authorities when a ship intending to transit, or transiting the High Risk Area is carrying PCASP, firearms and security-related equipment onboard.

3.9

Familiarization for Master and the crew

Shipowners and ship operators should ensure that the Master and the crew receive familiarization in relation to this guidance.

ANNEX REVISED INTERIM RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FLAG STATES REGARDING THE USE OF PRIVATELY CONTRACTED ARMED SECURITY PERSONNEL ONBOARD SHIPS IN THE HIGH RISK AREA1

LE

1 These interim recommendations provide considerations on the use of privately contracted armed security personnel (PCASP) if and when a flag State determines that such a measure would be appropriate and lawful. They are not intended to endorse or institutionalize their use. The recommendations do not address all the legal issues that might be associated with the use of PCASP onboard ships.

2 In an increasing number of cases, shipowners are considering the use of PCASP to augment shipboard security arrangements when transiting the High Risk Area.

The carriage of such personnel and their firearms and security-related equipment 2 is subject to flag State legislation and policies and it is a matter for flag States to determine if and under which conditions this will be authorized.

P

3 Flag States should take into account the possible escalation of violence which could result from the use of firearms and carriage of armed personnel onboard ships when deciding on their policy. Flag States should provide clarity to Masters, seafarers, shipowners, operators and companies with respect to the national policy on carriage of armed security personnel.

M

4 Flag States should require the parties concerned to comply with all relevant requirements of flag, port and coastal States.

A

5 Flag States should have in place a policy on whether or not the use of PCASP will be authorized and, if so, under which conditions. In developing such a policy, flag States are encouraged to take into account the following recommendations: As a first step, consider whether the use of PCASP: .1

would be permitted under the national legislation of the flag State;

.2

would be an appropriate measure under some circumstances to augment the security arrangements put in place, in accordance with related instruments and guidelines developed and promulgated by the Organization including the industry-developed best management practices, on ships flying its flag when operating in the High Risk Area; and

S

.1

.2 As a second step, if the use of PCASP is determined to be an appropriate and lawful measure, establish a policy which may include, inter alia:

1

High Risk Area: an area as defined in the Best Management Practices for Protection against Somalia-based Piracy (MSC.1/Circ.1339), unless otherwise defined by the flag State.

2 In the present recommendations, all references to firearms include the associated ammunition, consumables, spare parts and maintenance equipment for use by PCASP, and all references to security-related equipment include protective and communication equipment for use by PCASP.

Issues to take into Account Issues for the ship to consider when making an assessment are: Location: Α ship's location can be important in determining a potential threat. For instance, ships are most likely to be attacked by pirates/ thieves in certain parts of the world when near land, when sailing through narrow channels where speed and maneuverability may be restricted, at anchor or alongside. Government, general and company warnings are announced for specific countries or regions of high pirate activity. The CSO will promulgate these to the ship.

The potential threat may also vary from port to port, even in the same country.

LE

Time of day: Ships are most vulnerable at night when there is inadequate light to detect and protect against an unauthorized boarding, whether at sea, alongside or at anchor.

Flag of the vessel: Ships sailing under certain Flags can be more vulnerable when approaching ports of countries with opposing political or economical or religious interests.

Crew: Ships are becoming a more potential threat target, if the Crew nationality / -ies is/are among those commonly considered as “terrorist nationalities”.

M

P

Type of Ship: Although most of the major terrorist incidents involving transport activities have involved aircraft, there have been incidents onboard vessels and there is no doubt that certain categories of ships and shore installations present a theoretically attractive, although often difficult, target for terrorist activities. Cargo ships are generally more vulnerable to theft and drug smuggling than other types of ships. If terrorists are seeking to smuggle weapons into a country, they may also choose a cargo ship. But if terrorists want to block a channel, a bulk / ore ship may be targeted.

Terminals - To a large extent the security of ships in harbor or alongside, depends on the security provided by port or harbor authorities. With certain terminals, such as those handling oil or gases, the shore installations themselves can present attractive targets to terrorists or saboteurs.

A

Type of Cargo: the presence or absence of cargo, its nature and properties and stowage could be a factor. If terrorists are seeking to use a ship as a weapon, they may seek to gain control of a ship transporting hazardous cargo.

S

Ships with Special Cargoes - Certain ships carry specialized cargo (for example hazardous goods, nuclear waste, livestock), which could make them attractive targets to certain terrorist organizations.

Route: Ships involved within International routes, are most likely to berth at or approach Ports of countries considered as “High Risk” (See Annex E).

Ship Security Survey Checklist (On-Scene Survey)

Purpose The SSA should consider the continuing relevance of the existing security measures and guidance, procedures and operations, under both routine and emergency conditions and should determine security guidance.

For practical purposes we assume that a Ship Security Plan (SSP) is already in the making and / or onboard. If this is (still) not the case, please do not put too much emphasis on the questions in this checklist that directly refers to the SSP.
