INTERNATIONAL CODE FOR THE SECURITY OF SHIPS

AND OF PORT FACILITIES

PREAMBLE

1 The Diplomatic Conference on Maritime Security held in London in December 2002

adopted new provisions in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 and

this Code * to enhance maritime security. These new requirements form the international

framework through which ships and port facilities can co-operate to detect and deter acts which

threaten security in the maritime transport sector.

2 Following the tragic events of 11th September 2001, the twenty-second session of the

Assembly of the International Maritime Organization (the Organization), in November 2001,

unanimously agreed to the development of new measures relating to the security of ships and of

port facilities for adoption by a Conference of Contracting Governments to the International

Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (known as the Diplomatic Conference on

Maritime Security) in December 2002. Preparation for the Diplomatic Conference was entrusted

to the OrganizationÓs Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) on the basis of submissions made by

Member States, intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations in

consultative status with the Organization.

3 The MSC, at its first extraordinary session, held also in November 2001, in order to

accelerate the development and the adoption of the appropriate security measures established an

MSC Intersessional Working Group on Maritime Security . The first meeting of the

MSC Intersessional Working Group on Maritime Security was held in February 2002 and the

outcome of its discussions was reported to, and considered by, the seventy-fifth session of the

MSC in March 2002, when an ad hoc Working Group was established to further develop the

proposals made. The seventy-fifth session of the MSC considered the report of that Working

Group and recommended that work should be taken forward through a further

MSC Intersessional Working Group, which was held in September 2002. The seventy-sixth

session of the MSC considered the outcome of the September 2002 session of the

MSC Intersessional Working Group and the further work undertaken by the MSC Working

Group held in conjunction with the Committee's seventy-sixth session in December 2002,

immediately prior to the Diplomatic Conference and agreed the final version of the proposed

texts to be considered by the Diplomatic Conference.

4 The Diplomatic Conference (9 to 13 December 2002) also adopted amendments to the

existing provisions of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974

(SOLAS 74) accelerating the implementation of the requirement to fit Automatic Identification

Systems and adopted new Regulations in Chapter XI-1 of SOLAS 74 covering marking of the

ShipÓs Identification Number and the carriage of a Continuous Synopsis Record. The Diplomatic

Conference also adopted a number of Conference Resolutions including those covering

implementation and revision of this Code, Technical Co-operation, and co-operative work with

the International Labour Organization and World Customs Organization. It was recognized that

* The complete name of this Code is the International Code for the Security of Ships and of Port Facilities. The

abbreviated name of this Code, as referred to in regulation XI-2/1 of SOLAS 74 as amended, is the International

Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code or, in short, the ISPS Code.

review and amendment of certain of the new provisions regarding maritime security may be

required on completion of the work of these two Organizations.

5 The provision of Chapter XI-2 of SOLAS 74 and this Code apply to ships and to port

facilities. The extension of SOLAS 74 to cover port facilities was agreed on the basis that

SOLAS 74 offered the speediest means of ensuring the necessary security measures entered into

force and given effect quickly. However, it was further agreed that the provisions relating to port

facilities should relate solely to the ship/port interface. The wider issue of the security of port

areas will be the subject of further joint work between the International Maritime Organization

and the International Labour Organization. It was also agreed that the provisions should not

extend to the actual response to attacks or to any necessary clear-up activities after such an

attack.

6 In drafting the provision care has been taken to ensure compatibility with the provisions

of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping and

Certification for Seafarers, 1978, as amended, the International Safety Management (ISM) Code

and the harmonised system of survey and certification.

7 The provisions represent a significant change in the approach of the international

maritime industries to the issue of security in the maritime transport sector. It is recognized that

they may place a significant additional burden on certain Contracting Governments. The

importance of Technical Co-operation to assist Contracting Governments implement the

provisions is fully recognized.

8 Implementation of the provisions will require continuing effective co-operation and

understanding between all those involved with, or using, ships and port facilities including shipÓs

personnel, port personnel, passengers, cargo interests, ship and port management and those in

National and Local Authorities with security responsibilities. Existing practices and procedures

will have to be reviewed and changed if they do not provide an adequate level of security. In the

interests of enhanced maritime security additional responsibilities will have to be carried by the

shipping and port industries and by National and Local Authorities.

9 The guidance given in part B of this Code should be taken into account when

implementing the security provisions set out in Chapter XI-2 of SOLAS 74 and in part A of this

Code. However, it is recognized that the extent to which the guidance applies may vary

depending on the nature of the port facility and of the ship, its trade and/or cargo.

10 Nothing in this Code shall be interpreted or applied in a manner inconsistent with the

proper respect of fundamental rights and freedoms as set out in international instruments,

particularly those relating to maritime workers and refugees including the International Labour

Organization Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work as well as international

standards concerning maritime and port workers.

11 Recognizing that the Convention on the Facilitation of Maritime Traffic, 1965, as

amended, provides that foreign crew members shall be allowed ashore by the public authorities

while the ship on which they arrive is in port, provided that the formalities on arrival of the ship

have been fulfilled and the public authorities have no reason to refuse permission to come ashore

for reasons of public health, public safety or public order, Contracting Governments when

approving ship and port facility security plans should pay due cognisance to the fact that ship's

personnel live and work on the vessel and need shore leave and access to shore based seafarer

welfare facilities, including medical care.
