Maritime Security Assessments

We provide maritime security assessments and security plans for ships, ports, port facilities and port service providers, in accordance with the ISPS Code and the ILO and IMO Code of Practice for Security in Ports.

THE ISPS Code establishes an international framework for preventive measures against security incidents affecting international maritime trade. It also determines the respective roles and responsibilities for ensuring maritime security, ensures early and efficient exchange of security-related information, creates plans and procedures to react to changing security levels and ensures confidence that adequate and proportionate maritime security measures are in place.
