The Regulation includes all aspects such аs: safe conditions of workplaces, keeping ladders and companionways clear of obstructions, provision and maintenance of non-slip walking surfaces, adequate lighting, heating and ventilation, appropriate instructions.

The Master of the ship shall be supplied with data necessary to maintain sufficient intact stability under service conditions to enable the ship to withstand the critical damage.

There shall be permanently exhibited, for the guidance of the officer in charge of the ship plan showing clearly for each deck and hold, the boundaries of the watertight compartments, the openings therein with the means of closure and position of any controls thereof, and the arrangements for the correction of any list due to a casualty whether the ship is upright or listed.

In no саsе any subdivision load line mark shall be placed above the deepest load line in salt water as determined by the strength of the ship and/or the International Convention respecting Load Lines in force.

All sidescuttles the sills of which are below the margin line, other than those required to be of a non opening type shall be of such construction as will effectively prevent any person opening them without the consent of the Master of the ship.

Ships shall be provided with an efficient bilge pumping plant capable of pumping from and draining any watertight compartment which is neither a permanent oil compartment nor a permanent water compartment.

What is ISPS Code

       Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Twenty-Second Session of the Assembly of the International Maritime Organization unanimously decided to develop new security measures for ships and port facilities.

       On December 12, 2002 the Conference of Contracting Governments adopted amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS-74), concerning special measures to enhance maritime safety and security and the International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) Code.

The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code is the IMO initiative rushed to implementation due to political imperatives not related to shipping but to state security and the newly recognized vulnerability to terrorist attack. The purpose of the ISPS Code is to establish an international framework of measures to enhance maritime security through which ships and port facilities can co-operate to detect and deter acts that threaten security in the maritime transport sector. Passenger ships, cargo ships over 500 GT and mobile offshore units in international trade must be in compliance with the ISPS Code no later than 1st July 2004. That means that ships must carry an International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC) by that date as their ticket to trade.

       The following is a discussion of the Code requirements in SOLAS XI-2 - the safety management system portion of the ISPS Code as it relates to ships.  These provisions contemplate three principal steps to obtaining the ISSC: ship security assessment, preparation of the ship security plan and verification.

       In addition to new rules included into Chapter XI-2, and Parts А  and B of the ISPS Code, the Diplomatic Conference adopted amendments to the existing ISPS rules, which facilitate compliance with the requirements related to equipment of ships with Automatic Identification Systems, and adopted new Regulations to include into Chapter XI-1, covering marking of Ship's Identification Number and the carriage of a Continuous Synopsis Record. The most important amendments are the new Chapter XI-2 "Special Measures to enhance Maritime Security" and the ISPS Code.

       Chapter XI-2 introduces new requirements regulating ships' security with the purpose of prevention of illegal acts, directed against safety of navigation and transportation of protected cargoes by sea.

       Requirements of the ISPS Code form the international structure, by means of which ships and port facilities can interact with the purpose of discovery and prevention of acts threatening the safety in the sea transport sector.

The ISPS Code comprises of two parts.

Part А sets mandatory requirements, while Part B provides guidelines. Recommendations of Part B should be accounted for in implementation of provisions of Chapter XI-2 and Part А of the ISPS Code.

 

Vocabulary.

security measures – меры по обеспечению охраны

which facilitate compliance with the requirements - способствующие ускорению выполнения требований

Ship's Identification Number – судовой опознавательный номер

Continuous Synopsis Record - журнал непрерывной регистрации истории судна

Assessment- оценка

THE INTERNATIONAL SHIP AND PORT FACILITY SECURITY CODE

 

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 and the ISPS code.

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.

The objectives of this Code are:

1. to establish an international framework involving co-operation between Contracting Governments, Government agencies, local administrations and the shipping and port industries to detect security threats and take preventive measures against security incidents affecting ships or port  facilities used in international trade;
2. to establish the respective roles and responsibilities of the Contracting Governments, Government agencies, local administrations and the shipping and port industries, at the international and national level for ensuring maritime security.

 

In order to achieve its objectives, it is necessary

• to gather and assess information with respect to security threats and exchanging such information;
• to require the maintenance of communication protocols for ships and port facilities;
• to prevent unauthorized access to ships, port facilities and their restricted areas;
• to prevent the introduction of unauthorized weapons, incendiary devices or explosives to ships or port facilities;
• to provide means for raising the alert in reaction to security threats or security incidents;
• to require ship and port facility security plans;
• to require training, drills and exercises to ensure familiarity with security plans and procedures.
