ISPS Code Explained: What You Need To Know?

In this video, I explain why the ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code) was introduced after 9/11 — how it protects ships and ports and keeps maritime operations secure today. How are ships and ports protected today, and how does maritime security work? We will explore the legal framework of the Code, which is a mandatory requirement under Chapter XI-2 of the SOLAS Convention. You will learn about its two-part structure: Part A, which contains mandatory requirements, and Part B, which provides guidance on how to apply them in practice. You will clearly understand: - What the ISPS Code is And Why It Is Mandatory Under SOLAS ? - How Maritime Security Changed after September 11 - The Structure of The ISPS Code (Part A and Part B) - Duties of Ship Security Officer (SSO), Company Security Officer (CSO) and Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) - Ship Security Levels 1, 2 and 3 - Access Control, Gangway Watch and Restricted Areas - Ship Security Plan (SSP) and Ship Security Assessment (SSA) - Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) - Drills, Training and Port State Control inspections Timelink: 00:00 - ISPS Code - From Safety to Security 02:40 - Origins of ISPS Code 04:03 - ISPS Code Structure 04:40 - SSO - Ship Security Officer 05:36 - CSO - Company Security Officer 06:08 - PFSO - Port Facility Security Officer 06:56 - ISPS Code - Ship Security Levels 1, 2, 3 08:54 - Ship Security Assessment (SSA) & Ship Security Plan (SSP) 10:45 - ISPS Code - Certification - Ship Security Certificate 11:11 - ISPS Code - Summary ~~~ #ISPSCode #maritimesecurity #security #shipsecurity
