This information paper recommends a layered defence methodology to aid in the mitigation of the risks posed by identified security threats. Although the focus is on vessels when underway, measures are examined for vessels at anchor and alongside.
The paper brings together best practice both on board a vessel and for owners, operators, managers, Masters, crew, naval architects and shipyards, so everyone has the tools they need to make an informed decision about security measures for their fleet. This new edition has been updated to align with Best Management Practice (BMP).
