Masters, company security officers and ship security officers all have key roles to play in making vessels secure and preventing criminal and other unwanted activities on board. They must balance the competing demands placed upon them by owners, charterers, shoreside authorities, ships and ports, often at short notice.
This practical guide offers clear and concise explanations of the principles underpinning security processes, along with guidance and advice on putting them into action. The challenges of piracy, stowaways and the rescue of migrants at sea are covered in detail.
Other topics covered include the evolution of maritime security, implications of the ISPS Code, ensuring compliance with legislation and insights into the rapidly developing area of cybersecurity.
