SECTION 1:
INTRODUCTION

1.1. Security Awareness


1.1.1 Continued occurrences of piracy, terrorism and other hostile military/paramilitary actions in
various parts of the world have heightened the concern for the safety of mariners, ships and cargoes.
Piracy and terrorism were previously identified as separate threats to shipping; now, there are
concerns that piracy is the funding source for further terrorist activity. Ships consistently operate in
or near many areas where a high probability of hostile activity exists. As a result, a concerted effort
is necessary to increase the security level of all ships.

1.2. Purpose and Objectives


1.2.1 The purpose of this Security Plan is to issue protective security measures, procedures and
guidelines for shipboard physical security against primarily human threats, in order to prevent and
suppress possible terrorist acts against the ship and improve security for passengers, crew and
cargoes on board. The plan has been prepared in accordance with SOLAS Chapter XI-2 (Special
Measures to Enhance Maritime Security) and the provisions of Part A and Part B of ISPS code.
1.2.2 More specifically the objectives of this plan –in line with the ISPS code– are:
.1 to include all international requirements and obligations of the Contracting Governments,
the Company and the vessel, in a practical way and that extent which covers the ship’s
requirements;
.2 to establish the respective roles and responsibilities within the Company and onboard;
.3 to provide a methodology for implementing the security measures in various security
levels;
.4 to establish contingency plans to respond to breaches of security; and
.5 to arrange the requirements for training, audits and records.
.6 to provide instructions for communication and reporting
.7 to establish procedures for ship / port facility interface

1.3. Definitions
1.3.1 For the purpose of this manual, unless expressly provided otherwise:
.1 Convention means the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 as
amended (SOLAS 74).
.2 ISPS Code means International Ship and Port Facility Code for the security of Ships and
of Port Facilities consisting of Part A (with mandatory provisions) and Part B (with
recommendatory provisions).

measures designed to protect the port facility and ships, persons, cargo, cargo transport
units and ship's stores within the port facility from the risk of a security incident.
.6 Ship Security Officer (SSO) means the person on board the ship, accountable to the
master, designated by the Company as responsible for the security of the ship, including
implementation and maintenance of the ship security plan and for liaison with the
company security officer and port facility security officers.
.7 Company Security Officer (CSO) means the person designated by the Company for
ensuring that a ship security assessment is carried out; that a ship security plan is
developed, submitted for approval, and thereafter implemented and maintained and for
liaison with port facility security officers and the ship security officer.
.8 Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) means the person designated as responsible for
the development, implementation, revision and maintenance of the port facility security
plan and for liaison with the ship security officers and company security officers.

measures shall be maintained at all times.
.10 Security Level 2 means the level for which appropriate additional protective security
measures shall be maintained for a period of time as a result of heightened risk of a
security incident.
.11 Security Level 3 means the level for which further specific protective security measures
shall be maintained for a limited period of time when a security incident is probable or
imminent, although it may not be possible to identify the specific target.
.12 International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC) means the certificate issued by the

11.4.5 The SSAS does not require any particular calibration.
11.4.6 The SSAS should be tested for proper operation by the SSO every 6 months according to the
manufacturer’s instruction. To this end, the following procedure should be followed:
.1 Prior to sending the test alert, the test should be arranged and notified on a working hours
day agreed in advanced between the Master/ SSO and the CSO.
.2 The Ship Security Alert should be activated from the primary activation point. The SSO
must confirm by return that the security alert has been received.
.3 The other activation point on board should then be tested in accordance with the above
procedure.
.4 When all SSAS activation points have been tested and the Ship Security Alert has been
reset, it shall be agreed between the Master/ SSO and the CSO that testing is successfully
completed and all future alerts are to be treated as “real”.
.5 Each test must be properly logged in the ship’s Official Log.
11.4.7 In case that the SSAS is found to be in bad working condition, it should be repaired
immediately. If the necessary repairs cannot be carried out immediately, the SSO must inform the
CSO who must in turn inform the Flag Administration of the ship and ask their permission for the
ship to continue sailing until repairs will be carried out.
11.4.8 Responsible for ensuring that all the above maintenance and testing instructions are complied
with is the SSO. Relevant records should be kept in the “SECURITY EQUIPMENT LOG BOOK”
contained in Appendix 11-A. In case of more extensive repairs, a report containing a detailed

12.9.2 The above list is not to be taken as exclusive. It rather intents to be used by the SSO as a
guide in order to help him in deciding whether an incident constitutes a breach of security and
therefore other incidents might be regarded and treated as breaches of security even if they are not
included in the above list.
12.9.3Any breach of security must be immediately reported to the OOW, who should carry out an
initial investigation of the incident and try to implement the necessary corrective actions in order for
the security of the ship not to be endangered. After that, the SSO must be informed about the
incident.
12.9.4 According to its nature, a breach of security may be considered as a proof that the security
system of the ship is inefficient. Therefore, the SSO is responsible to carry out a more thorough
investigation of its cause and to define and implement corrective actions of a more permanent
nature in order for the incident not to happen again in the future.
12.9.5 Any breach of security must be recorded in the ship’s log book.
12.9.6 In addition to the above, any breach of security must be reported to the CSO. For that
purpose the form “Report on Breach of Security”, a copy of which can be found in Appendix 12-C
at the end of this section, must be filled in by the SSO and forwarded to the company office.
12.9.7 According to its nature, a breach of security can be considered as a failure of the security
system of the ship to do sth that must be done by law

SECTION 16:
CONTROLLING THE EMBARKATION OF PERSONS AND
THEIR EFFECTS

16.1. Identification and Visitor Control System


16.1.1 It is important to control the embarkation of persons and their effects in order to identify and
take preventive measures against security incidents. This section identifies and explains
implementation procedures for the control of entry and exit from the vessel. The control procedures
specified herein will help to ensure that security is maintained and privacy to the ship's crew is
provided.
16.1.2 Crew Identification.
.1 It is carried out once, prior to their boarding using their Seafarers Identification record,
passport or other means of identification and verify their authority to serve the ship.
16.1.3 Visitor Badges.
.1 Visitors ID or permit pass is checked at the Gangway and then they are provided with a
badge in order to board the vessel.
.2 Badges will be serialized, and must have the name of the ship printed on them, a specific
shape and yellow colour:
.3 When large groups (i.e. longshoremen, stevedores, etc.) have their own badges, the team
leader may sign in/out the whole crew.
.4 Persons provided with badges will be told:
.1 To visibly wear/display the badge at all times while onboard.
.2 To report immediately to the deck officer if the badge is lost.
.3 To return badge upon leaving the ship.
.5 No more than 25 badges for persons other than stevedores will be available for issue
unless approved by the Master/Ship Security Officer or Watch Officer. All un-issued
badges will be kept and maintained by the Ship’s Security Officer. Locally produced
computer ID badges are acceptable if serial numbered and logged.
.6 Badge inventory/accountability will be as follows:
.1 Within 30 minutes by oncoming Gangway watch.
.2 Within 30 minutes by the Gangway watch, after visiting hours have concluded.
.3 By Watch Officer between the hours of 22:00 and 08:00.
.4 Accountability of badges will be logged and discrepancies will be reported
immediately to the Watch Officer.
.5 When 20 percent of the badges issued are lost/stolen, the system will be considered
compromised. This will immediately be reported to the Master via the Ship’s Security

Officer for appropriate action, i.e. to change the shape and the serial number.
.7 Abuse of the above procedures shall be reported to CSO and relevant port authorities and
is subject to disciplinary action.

16.1.4 Gangway Log


.1 This log is maintained to ensure control over the issue/accountability of badges, to
identify visitors who have been and still are aboard and to document information for
record keeping purposes.
.2 The log will be maintained at all times. It will be kept in a logbook or equivalent form.
.3 The format and information to be documented will be as specified in Appendix 13-B in
section 13.
.4 All entries will be made in pen.
.5 Pages will never be torn out for any reason.
.6 Mistakes will be corrected by drawing a single line through the incorrect entry and the
individual placing their initials next to it.
.7 The Ship’s Security Officer will maintain all logs for 1 year after log closing date.
16.1.5 Access Control.
.1 All visitors (company officials, agents, authorities, surveyors, repair teams, vendors,
workers, personal visits, etc) shall report and request entrance at the Gangway only and
not to other access point.
.2 Those unwilling or unable to establish their identity and /or to confirm the purpose of
their visit when requested to do so should be denied access to the ship and their attempt to
obtain access should be reported, as appropriate, to the SSO, the CSO, the PFSO and to
the national and local authorities with security responsibilities. This report should be
initially made by verbal communication and as a second step, the relevant form included
in Appendix 12C will be completed.
.3 A proper sign “ALL PERSONS SHOULD IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AND MAY
BE SUBJECT TO SEARCH” should be placed at the gangway.
.4 Any visitor authorized with access to confidential information must present appropriate
identification at the time of visit. However, under no circumstances (unless Master
approves) may a request that is hand–carried by a visitor be the basis for granting access.
.5 Cameras will not be permitted onboard by visitors unless approved by the Master/Ship
Security Officer or Watch Officer. All cameras will be collected at the gangway, tagged
with owner’s name and returned to the owner upon departure.
.6 When the Master has determined that the threat is such that search procedures will be
implemented, individuals refusing the search will not be searched but will be denied
access. When such procedures are in effect, they will be supervised by a designated ship
officer.
.7 The threat condition will, as determined by the Master/Ship Security Officer or Watch
Officer, constitute the intensity of the search required. The frequency of random
searches/inspections (i.e. every third person, every tenth person) will be determined and
under no condition any personnel will be exempted. The search will include one or more
of the following.

SECTION 16 REVISION NO: 00 / DATE: 19/05/2008 PAGE 2 OF 4


M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

.1 Observe visitor and check items in individual’s possession.


.2 Request visitor to open carry on baggage/closed parcels for inspection.
.3 Request visitor to display items hidden from view.
.4 Request visitor to turn over prohibited items for safekeeping until departure from

access points for crew and working personnel who have been first checked in the
gangway and have been provided with a relevant badge.

16.2. Screening Procedures


16.2.1 Screening procedures will be conducted in accordance with Security Level. All screening
areas are designated restricted in order to minimize tampering with items during and after
screening. Although landside screening is generally preferred, the screening of smaller items (i.e.
personal effects, cabin baggage, individually packaged stores) need not take place outside the
boundaries of the ship, provided that the screening area onboard the ship is adequately restricted
and suspicious items can be removed prior to stowage. Screening may be conducted by manual, and
visual searching taking into account the human rights of the individual and preserving their basic
human dignity
16.2.2 On board screening areas could be designated as an area adjacent to the Gangway and
marked as “screening area”.
16.2.3 Anyone refusing to be submitted to security screening at a point of access shall not be
allowed to board the ship and will be reported to the appropriate authorities.

16.2.4 Firearms.
.1 Unless approval is granted by the Master, weapons are strictly forbidden onboard the
vessel.
.2 Exception to this policy is law enforcement agency personnel acting in official capacity
and with full permission of the Master.
16.2.5 Liaison with law enforcement agencies.
.1 The SSO will establish and maintain liaison with local law enforcement agencies to
ensure that their full protective capabilities are deployed in the protection of the ship
when operating under heightened Security Levels.

SECTION 18:
MONITORING THE SHIP AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS

18.1. Areas to be Monitored


18.1.1 The ship, the restricted areas on board the weather decks and areas surrounding the ship
should be monitored. Such monitoring includes the use of:
.1 lighting;
.2 watch-keepers, security guards and deck roving patrols;
18.1.2 Ship’s personnel ability to detect activities beyond on board the ship, on the shore side and
the waterside, depends on:
.1 efficient lighting
.2 positioning and awareness of guards or roving patrols.
18.1.3 This section establishes the procedures and equipment needed for monitoring the ship at each
security level and the means of ensuring that monitoring equipment will be able to perform
continually, including consideration of the possible effects of power disruptions.

18.2. Lighting
18.2.1 The ability of a perpetrator to gain access to a ship has a higher degree of success during the
hours of darkness. Adequate lighting lessens the degree of success by increasing the effectiveness
of security personnel, acting as a deterrent and by making the perpetrators job more difficult.
18.2.2 Lighting means are:
− Ship’s installed deck lights
− Additional security lighting, (fixed searchlights)
18.2.3 Lighting requirements:
.1 Access points to the restricted areas should be always lighted in order to monitor access
by patrols.
.2 All deck lighting should be activated during hours of darkness by OOW.
.3 Additional security lighting (fixed or portable searchlights) may be used as required to
supplement deck lighting.
.4 Lighting will be such that it will not cause a glare that hinders vision of security
personnel or navigability of water traffic.
.5 In order to achieve complete light coverage coordination with port facility shall be aimed
for.
.6 Security lighting will be activated during all hours of darkness.
.7 All deficiencies or needed repairs will be logged in and reported to the Watch Officer
immediately. Temporary lighting will be established as soon as possible.

portable) are operated by one of the Oiler
18.2.5 The Second Engineer is responsible for the proper operation and the maintenance of the
ship’s lighting equipment. In case of inclement weather conditions and power disruptions
(blackout), the emergency generator will be activated. The required lighting will be connected and
activated through the main power switchboard which is receiving power either from a shore source,
or from one of the ships main generators.

18.3. Guards and Security Patrols


18.3.1 Areas to be guarded and/or monitored by patrol:
.1 Restricted areas may be guarded in special circumstances and under the judgment of the
Master/ SSO. Patrols are to regularly monitor restricted areas as required by the security
measures.
.2 Guards should be placed at weather decks (bow, stern, and waterside amidships) as will
be required by the measures of security levels. Patrols are regularly patrolling the decks as
will be required by the security level.
.3 Areas surrounding ship (shore side and waterside), should be monitored by gangway
watch, deck watches, and deck patrols.
18.3.2 Duties and Equipment
.1 Guards and patrols duties, synthesis and equipment are described in detail in section 13

18.4. Communication Procedures


18.4.1 Communication between guards, patrols and deck watch officers should be conducted in

can arrange for appropriate security measures to be in place, if needed, for the duration of the ship's
visit.
19.1.3 Contracting Governments have also provided the contact details of Government officers to
whom an SSO, a CSO and a PFSO can report security concerns. These Government officers should
assess such reports before taking appropriate action. Such reported concerns may have an influence
on security measures falling under the jurisdiction of another Contracting Government. In that case,
the Contracting Governments should consider contacting the authorized officers of the other
Contracting Government to discuss whether remedial action is appropriate.
19.1.4 All the above information is indicated in relevant tables at section 23 of this plan.

19.2. Interfacing Procedures


19.2.1 When the ship intends to enter a port, the CSO, SSO and the relevant PFSO have to
exchange information on the interfacing requirements during ship’s visit and operations. Such
information should include:
.1 The security level on which port facility and ship operate at the time of entering port.
.2 Relevant measures which might have an influence in ship’s operations.
.3 The type, the duration and the sensitivity of ship-port operations during ship’s visit (cargo
handling, stores-spares delivery, embarkation of repair teams, visitors etc.).
.4 Any additional security measures needed for these operations.
19.2.2 The CSO, SSO and the PFSO should be in close cooperation and should exchange
information, on security issues, as needed.
19.2.3 The Master should register relevant information of visiting ports as in Appendix 19-A and
should maintain the log at least for a year.
19.2.4 In case the vessel has to interface with a vessel or a port facility of a non –contracting
government, the following procedures should be adhered to:
.1 The CSO should inform ship’s flag Administration accordingly.
.2 Measures should followed in accordance with the existing security level and as are

SECTION 19 REVISION NO: 00 / DATE: 19/05/2008 PAGE 1 OF 8


M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

described in the SSP.


.3 Additional measures should be followed as directed by the flag, the CSO or the Master
depending on the condition in place.
.4 A written request should be submitted from the master to the harbour master or to the
master of the other vessel for any coordinated measures required.
.5 Full records of all measures, actions and events should be kept.

19.3. Differing Security Levels


19.3.1 The ship may enter a port at a higher security level than the port facility, but never at a lower
one. In this case, the CSO, SSO and the PFSO should communicate to establish relevant security
measures to rectify such difference. These measures might include the completion and signature of
a DoS (Declaration of Security).

19.4. Declaration of Security (DoS)


19.4.1 A Declaration of Security (DoS) should be completed when the Contracting Government of
the port facility or an interfacing vessel, deems it necessary or when the ship deems it necessary.
19.4.2 A DoS will be requested at higher security levels:
.1 when the ship has a higher security level than the port facility, or another ship with which
it interfaces;
.2 for ship/port interface or ship to ship activities that pose a higher risk to persons, property
or the environment for reasons specific to that ship, including her cargo or passengers or
the circumstances at the port facility or a combination of these factors.
19.4.3 In the case that the ship or her Flag State, requests completion of a DoS, the Port Facility
Security Officer (PFSO) or Ship Security Officer (SSO)/ Master of the interfacing vessel, should
acknowledge the request and discuss appropriate security measures.
19.4.4 A PFSO may also initiate a DoS prior to ship/port interfaces that are identified in the
approved PFSA as being of particular concern. Examples may include the embarking or
disembarking passengers, and the transfer, loading or unloading of dangerous goods or hazardous
substances. The PFSA may also identify facilities at or near highly populated areas or economically
significant operations that warrant a DoS.
19.4.5 The main purpose of a DoS is to ensure agreement is reached between the ship and the –Port
facility or the interfacing vessel, as to the respective security measures each will undertake in
accordance with the provisions of their respective approved security plans.
19.4.6 The agreed DoS should be signed and dated by both the port facility and the ship, as
applicable, should include its duration, the relevant security level, or levels and the contact points.
A change in the security level may require that a new or revised DoS be completed.
19.4.7 The DoS should be completed in English, French or Spanish or in a language common to
both the port facility and the ship.
19.4.8 A DoS form is included in the Appendix 19-B to this section. The same form, with required
modifications, could be used between ship and port facility or between ship and another interfacing
vessel.
19.4.9 Completed / signed DoS should be kept on board for at least one year, unless otherwise

SECTION 22:
CONTINGENCY PLANS AND STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURES (SOPs)

22.1. Introduction
22.1.1 The preparation of contingency plans and standard operating procedures in response to
security incidents is an essential part of security. This section increases the awareness for security
incidents and establishes the responsibilities and procedures to be implemented.
22.1.2 The contingencies that are addressed in this section are:
.1 bomb threat response and report;
.2 search procedures;
.3 vessel evacuation;
.4 anti-swimmer attack bill;
.5 anti-small craft/piracy bill in port/berth;
.6 anti-small craft/piracy bill at sea;
.7 hijack attack bill; and
.8 response to stowaways;
22.1.3 Following procedures for above contingencies should be considered as an initial guidance to
Master and crew and might be supplemented/amended by the Master or the CSO or the Authorities,
in accordance with the situation in place.
22.1.4 In all cases the security of the crew and passengers is of a paramount importance and priority
and actions should be considered with great caution. One of the first actions the ship should take, is
to activate the alert system, as appropriate, and inform all relevant authorities and the company with
any other means.

22.2. Bomb Threat Response Guidance


22.2.1 Purpose: To provide guidance for procedures to be used and actions to be taken by the
Master in the event of a bomb threat directed against his ship.
22.2.2 General: Every bomb threat, whether real or not, must be taken seriously and the response
thereto should be immediate and systematic.
22.2.3 Bomb Threat Evaluation:
.1 Immediately after receiving the threat, the Master must analyse the seriousness of the
threat and decide on a course of action. The "Bomb Threat Action Check List", which is
contained in Appendix 22-A is intended to aid in organizing this course of action. When a
telephone threat is received, every attempt must be made to keep the caller talking.

SECTION 22 REVISION NO: 00 / DATE: 19/05/2008 PAGE 1 OF 13


M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

.2 The Master will base his analysis of the seriousness of the threat on the “bomb threat
evaluation check list” contained in Appendix 22-B and on the following:
.1 Any unidentified or unescorted intruders onboard prior to the threat.
.2 Stores, mail, spare parts, new equipment taken onboard prior to the threat.
.3 The security status in the last port of call.
.4 Did the threat call or note appear to be authentic?
.5 Any recent dissensions or unrest among the crew?
22.2.4 Bomb Threat Notification. When a Master is made aware of a bomb threat against his ship,
he shall immediately contact local law enforcement and the CSO.
22.2.5 Altering ship operations during the period of the incident, when a threat is received, the
Master shall take the following actions as appropriate.
.1 In Port:
.1 Cease operations.
.2 Secure tanks and watertight compartments.
.3 Prepare to activate fire-fighting systems.
.4 Prepare to search the ship.
.5 Prepare vessel for evacuation.
.6 Prepare vessel for departure (if appropriate).
.2 At Sea:
.1 Cease any special operations in progress.
.2 Secure tanks and watertight compartments.
.3 Prepare to activate fire-fighting systems.
.4 If possible, move the vessel to shallow water and anchor to facilitate evacuation.

22.3. Searching the Vessel


22.3.1 When a search is ordered, the following procedures should be considered and employed as
needed.
.1 Information provided to the officers who will lead the search should include or describe
the following.
.1 Results of the threat analysis.
.2 Type of search to be conducted (hasty or detailed).
.3 Area(s) of search responsibility.
.4 Area(s) to receive search priority.
.5 Action(s) to be taken if a suspected device is located.
.6 Procedures for designating "clean" areas.
.7 Use of special equipment during the search.
.8 Communications and control procedures to be used.

SECTION 22 REVISION NO: 00 / DATE: 19/05/2008 PAGE 2 OF 13


M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

.2 Information concerning appearance of a bomb which includes the following:


.1 Look: Misspellings in the address, excessive or insufficient postage, unusual shape,
package stained, visible wires etc.
.2 Smell: Unusual odour.
.3 After Master's briefing, the officers will quickly organize the crew into two-man search
teams (if a detailed search is conducted) and issue necessary information and orders to get
the search underway. Information should include:
.1 A brief review of all information provided by the Master.
.2 The composition of the search teams.
.3 Special instructions regarding specific areas to search.
.4 A search is conducted using the following principles and techniques:
.1 Where possible, all compartments and rooms should be searched from the hull to
bulkhead to the centre of the area.
.2 Use two-man search teams. Divide the compartment or area for search into zones of
responsibility based on its size or complexity. Conduct the search in opposite
directions until the team members meet. Team members may conduct a check of the
other member's initial search area.
.3 Search the superstructure from the main deck up and the remainder of the vessel from
the main deck down.
.4 Once a compartment is searched and nothing is found, it should be marked "No Bomb
Found." If a suspected bomb is found, the search should continue; there may be more
than one bomb.
.5 When searching outside areas, thoroughly check trash receptacles, dumpsters, deck
drains and various storage lockers.
.6 Searches of machinery spaces and other specialized spaces shall be done by personnel
familiar with the space. Be alert for small charges placed to rupture the hull, high
pressure piping or electrical cables.
.7 Maintain communications to expedite immediate actions in the event a suspected
device is located and evacuation is ordered. Primary communication should be by
phone. Use of two-way radios should be curtailed as the signals they transmit could
detonate an electrical bomb.
.8 If a suspected device is located, adjacent areas should be immediately evacuated. No
crewmember should touch the suspected device.
.9 When a suspected bomb is found it must not be moved. It should be left to the EOD
personnel. Until EOD has disposed of the bomb, the crew should take the following
actions:
.1 Evacuate surrounding areas including decks above and below bomb.
.2 Secure or protect vital equipment in surrounding spaces.
.3 If an explosion does occur, the blast scene should not be disturbed, except for
removing any casualties or fighting any resultant fires.

M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

22.4. Evacuation of Vessel


22.4.1 Evacuation Procedures:
.1 The order to evacuate the ship shall be passed by the Master to all hands. Time
permitting, all classified material will be secured prior to evacuating spaces.
.2 Evacuation of the ship shall be by a route to be determined by the Master at the time of
the incident.
.3 The evacuated individuals shall report to a "safe area" at least 300 feet away from the
threatened area as determined by the Master at the time of the incident.
.4 The decision to keep mission essential personnel on station is at the discretion of the
Master.
.5 The Master shall give authority to permit re-entry following a fruitless search.
22.4.2 Factors favouring a search before movement of personnel include the following:
.1 There is a high incidence of hoax telephone threats.
.2 Effective security arrangements have been established.
.3 Information in the working is imprecise or incorrect.
.4 The caller sounded intoxicated, amused or very young.
.5 The prevailing threat of terrorist activity is low.
.6 Physical security in place (check of all incoming packages, visitor escort) would prevent
the placement of the bomb.
22.4.3 Factors favouring movement of personnel before searching include the following:
.1 The area is (e.g. post or base) comparatively unprotected.
.2 Information in the working is precise as to matter of location, description of device,
timing and motive for attack.
.3 Prevailing threat of terrorist activity is high.
.4 A suspicious package or bomb looking device is discovered.

22.6. Anti-Swimmer Attack Bill

22.6.1 When moored or anchored, ships are extremely vulnerable to attack by swimmers and divers.
The most advantageous time for such occurrences is during low visibility or limited light. This
procedure will assist in the defence against swimmer attacks. However, the ultimate defence is that
of a security minded crewmember.
22.6.2 Depending on the threat assessment, one or more of the following may be implemented:
.1 Shipboard lighting implemented in accordance with section 18.
.2 If available, searchlights will be manned.
.3 Roving patrols will be implemented.
.4 Implement emergency response teams.
.5 Have fire hoses laid out and charged.
.6 Lock as many weather deck doors as possible to control access.
.7 If the threat is of sufficient credibility, get underway.

22.7. Anti-Small Craft Attack/Piracy Bill in Port or Berth


22.7.1 Small craft attacks by armed attackers can occur in port or at anchor. The following guidance
will be tailored towards attempted boarding and small craft harassment.
22.7.2 It is proven that small craft and/or pirates do not prefer a confrontation and will break off a
boarding attempt if they know they have been identified or are likely to meet resistance. Depending

SECTION 22 REVISION NO: 00 / DATE: 19/05/2008 PAGE 5 OF 13


M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

on the threat assessment of the area one or more of the following will be implemented:
.1 Reaction force teams implemented.
.2 Have flare gun ready for firing from bridge.
.3 Ensure that gangways are in fully stowed position.
.4 Use anything (i.e. lights, flares, ships whistle, etc.) to let pirates know you are aware of
their approach.
.5 Provide reaction force teams with equipment to cut grappling lines (i.e. hatchets, wire
cutter etc.).
.6 Lock as many weather deck doors as possible to control access.
.7 Place main deck off limits to crew except watches.
.8 If reaction forces are not assigned, roving patrols may be implemented.
.9 Implement shipboard security lighting.
.10 If possible, request Coast Guard or Navy assistance.
.11 Have fire-hoses laid out and charged.
.12 If pier-side, contact local authorities, Embassy or others as deemed appropriate to
determine if additional resources can be made available.

22.8. Anti-small craft attack/piracy bill at sea


22.8.1 In case a boat or a vessel approaches at sea in a suspicious or threatening way the below
measures should be followed:
.1 Increase speed and alter course if it is safe or feasible
.2 Give no opportunity to the approaching vessel/boat to come along side
.3 Do not respond to messages by radio, light or loud hailer
.4 Keep personnel clear of the upper deck
.5 Note details of the other vessel and photograph it if possible
.6 During night, direct lights onto approaching vessel and switch off upper deck lighting.
.7 Report details of incident to the company and government claiming authority over the
area you are in
.8 Water hoses may be another option to deter intruders scaling onto the ship
.9 If repelling boarders has been unsuccessful, close the ship down ‘citadel’ ensuring all
crew and personnel are inside and all external doors and hatches are secure.
22.8.2 If the aforementioned measures are taken and intruders board the vessel, issue a distress call
and initiate Ship Security Alert System prior to intruders boarding.

22.9. Hijack Attack Bill


22.9.1 In the event of a hijack, respond as follows:
.1 Keep calm and advise all others to keep calm.

SECTION 22 REVISION NO: 00 / DATE: 19/05/2008 PAGE 6 OF 13


M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

.2 Do not try to resist armed terrorists unless as a last resort in a clear life threatening
situation.
.3 Ensure the safety of the ship in accordance with maritime practice.
.4 Broadcast a distress message if possible.
.5 Offer reasonable co-operation.
.6 Abuse or aggression should not be returned.
.7 Be aware that hijackers are unlikely to understand fully how a particular ship works, her
capabilities and limitations and may be suspicious about routine operations. They are also
unlikely to be familiar in detail with the safety requirements associated with the cargo.
.8 Try to establish what group of terrorists is involved.
.9 Try, without risk, to increase the number of access points to the vessel.
.10 Without suggesting what they may be, seek to establish the hijackers’ demands and what
deadlines have been set for meeting them.
.11 Assume that the incident will be prolonged. The longer incidents drag on, the more likely
they are to end without injury to the hostages.
.12 Recognize that hostages will feel isolated during the incident, as they will be unaware of
steps being taken by the company and/or government authorities on their behalf. This can
lead to antagonism against the authorities and sympathy for the terrorists. Every effort
will be being made to end the incident with the utmost emphasis on the preservation of
life and personal safety of all innocent parties involved.
.13 Understand that establishment of a reasonable rapport between hostages and captors is
likely to reduce the chances of the terrorists acting violently against their hostages.
.14 Be aware that at some stage in the incident a confrontation between the terrorists and
outside authorities may occur. Before this confrontation, an opportunity may arise or may
be created to pass information about the hijackers, such as their number, descriptions, sex,
how they are armed, how they deploy themselves, how they communicate with each
other, their cause, nationality, language(s) spoken and understood, their standard of
competence and their level of vigilance, and whether any of the hostages have been
separately identified as to nationality, religion or occupation (e.g. forces personnel).
.15 Encourage the establishment of a secure, direct negotiation channel with the authorities.
.16 Avoid crew members becoming directly involved in the negotiations. If crew members
are forced to take part they should simply relate the dialogue back and forth.
.17 Wherever and whenever possible, the hijackers should be encouraged to surrender
peacefully and should be discouraged from mistreating either passengers or crew.
.18 Military action may, in the last resort, be taken in order to save life and recapture the
vessel.
22.9.2 In the event or in anticipation of military action:
.1 Do not react to strangely dressed newcomers.
.2 Do not attract attention to any unusual activity.
.3 If shooting or the loud command “GET DOWN”, is heard immediately lie face down,
cover ears, close eyes, and slightly open mouth. Do not move until an “ALL CLEAR’’ is
given.

SECTION 22 REVISION NO: 00 / DATE: 19/05/2008 PAGE 7 OF 13


M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

.4 If the loud command “STAND STILL” is heard then freeze immediately.


.5 If the location of terrorist bombs or weapons is known, inform a member of the military
assault force as soon as possible.
.6 Do not shelter or hide terrorists.
.7 Do not take photographs of the military assault force.
22.9.3 Following the incident, the master and his crew should avoid talking to the press and other
media persons about the methods used to resolve the incidents.

22.10. Response to Stowaways


22.10.1 Actions to be taken:
.1 Prior to arrival:
.1 Ensure that all permanent deck lighting is fully operational.
.2 Ensure that all areas not essential for the loading/discharging of cargo shall be
carefully secured.
.2 At Anchor:
.1 All means of access should be secured especially the hawse pipes of the anchor
chains.
.2 Gangway ladders shall be raised when not in use.
.3 A proper watch shall be kept at all times.
.4 Security lighting shall be used if applicable/available. A well lit ship most of times
work as a prevention factor.
.5 Adjacent sea area shall be properly and adequately monitored.
.3 In Port:
.1 Information regarding next destination port should be restricted to as few personnel as
possible and necessary especially if this is to countries favoured to stowaways such as
Canada, USA.
.2 A gangway watch must be maintained at all times. Crew personnel with good
communication and an impression of an efficient and high profile regime most of
the times work as a prevention factor.
.3 Access to accommodation must always be restricted. Only essential access shall
remain open and unlocked and regular checks shall be made.
.4 Ensure that all areas not essential for the loading/discharging of cargo shall be
carefully secured and locked and regular checks shall be made.
.5 Check on the numbers of gangs on board and the number of stevedores in each gang.
A check shall be made at the beginning and the end of each crew watch verifying the
correct number of stevedores.
.6 Adjacent sea area shall be properly and adequately monitored.
.4 Pre-sailing action:
.1 Conduct a thorough and extensive search.

SECTION 22 REVISION NO: 00 / DATE: 19/05/2008 PAGE 8 OF 13


M/V “LISCR 2” (IMO NO: 9876543) SHIP SECURITY PLAN

.2 According to the previous paragraph, divide the ship in zones and begin search
simultaneously and systematically. After the completion of the search of each zone
report it to the OOW.
.3 Upon completion of the search make an entry in the log book by recording, time date,
names of the persons who have conducted the search.
22.10.2 Treatment of stowaways:
.1 If despite all the precautions and preventive measures the ship have taken, a stowaway
has boarded the vessel then Master shall report the incident immediately to the ship-
owner or operator (who in his turn will contact with the P&I club and the diplomatic
representative of the flag in the Port of Call), the agent of the shipping company in the
Port of Call, the Port Authority of the Port of Call and by all means follow the company’s
standard directives and instructions.
.2 The Master cannot oblige the stowaway to work on board and in all cases should be dealt
with humanitarian principles and protected from degrading treatment, keeping always in
mind the safety of the ship. In the high seas the Law of the flag State prevails, but in
port the Law of the port comes in force.
.3 Master must always keep in mind that no deviation from the planned course to the next
port of call for disembarkation is allowed unless very specific circumstances demand this
which are the following:
.1 Permission to disembark the stowaway has been granted by the public authorities of
the State to whose port the ship deviates.
.2 Repatriation has been arranged elsewhere with sufficient documentation and
permission for disembarkation.
.3 There are extenuating security or health reasons.
.4 The Master upon the discovery of a stowaway shall report the incident to the CSO. The
attached Appendix 22-C contains the form for this report.
