After successfully completing this lesson you will know what security
measures to take at the different security levels
the regular gangway is not the only access to the ship other ways to get
onboard can include ladders side ports or climbing up the mooring ropes to
prevent unauthorized persons boarding these access points have to be guarded
how they should be guarded depends on the different security levels
here follows some examples of security measures to take a different security
levels security level one wall access points have to be monitored continuously
everyone's seeking access to the vessel must present an ID and be logged in
security level to limit the number of access points
everyone seeking access to the vessel must present an ID and be logged in
security level three limit to only one access point everyone seeking access to
the vessel must present an ID and be logged in coordinate with the waterfront
facility to extend access control beyond the immediate area of the ship
CCTV intruder alarms and security patrols are all effective measures in
monitoring areas both onboard and surrounding the ship thereby preventing
security incidents the security level enforce will dictate the degree of
monitoring required here follows some examples of security measures to take a
different security levels security level war a security lookout and/or Patrol to
be posted security level 2 security lookout and all patrols to be increased
with particular emphasis on restricted areas security level 3 perform waterside
boat patrols use divers to inspect the underwater pier structures prior to the
ship's arrival upon the ship's arrival and in other necessary situations
the restricted areas on board your ship are indicated in your ship security plan
these might include the bridge the engine control room and the cargo
control room here follows some examples of security measures to take a different
security levels security level one the restricted areas should be locked or
secured and personnel should be patrolling the areas security level two
the restricted areas shall be locked or secured and frequency of personnel
patrolling the areas to be increased security level three the restricted
areas shall be locked or secured and personnel be posted at the areas
continuously
prohibited weapons most commonly find their way onto a ship by being carried
on board by embarking personnel here follows some examples of security
measures to take a different security levels security level one verify the
reason for personnel seeking access to the vessel by checking tickets boarding
passes work orders or ID cards positively identify crew members
passengers vendors dock workers and authorized visitors prior to each
embarkation new crew members should be cross-referenced with company on signers
information body searches and the inspection of baggage for prohibited
weapons incendiaries and explosives should be carried out on a random basis
security level to same a security level one but with an increased inspection
frequency on embarking persons security level three same a security level two
but all embarking persons must be inspected and all persons except crew
members must be escorted when on board
another method of placing prohibited weapons on board is via the cargo at
loading all with ships stores the measures to avoid this are different on
different ship types tankers here follows some examples of security
measures to take a different security levels security level one confirm cargo
surveyors etc have positive identification to show who they actually
are security level to ensure that cargo personnel are not allowed and escorted
on the tank deck security level three cargo personnel are only allowed on
board if their presence is essential ship and cargo type obviously influence
these measures container and general cargo vessels are more at risk than
tankers in this respect all vessels should however be aware of the risk of
concealment in stores cargo ships here follows some examples
of security measures to take a different security levels security level one
verify twenty-five to fifty percent of all non containerized cargo against the
cargo manifest verify all the container identification numbers of loaded
containers against the manifest verify 25 to 50 percent of the container
identification numbers of empty containers against the manifest verify
and inspect 25 to 50 percent of ships stores
security level 2 and verify all non containerized cargo against the cargo
manifest verify all the container identification numbers of loaded
containers against the manifest verify all the container identification numbers
of empty containers against the manifest verify and inspect 25 to 50% of ships
stores security level 3 and verify all non
containerized cargo against the cargo manifest verify all the container
identification numbers of loaded containers against the manifest verify
all of the container identification numbers of empty containers against the
manifest verify and inspect all ships stores the percentage numbers mentioned
are only recommendations ship and cargo type obviously influence these measures
container and general cargo vessels are more at risk than tankers in this
respect all vessels should however be aware of the risk of concealment in
stores when completing the declaration of security the ship security officer
and the port facility security officer agree on the means of communication in
case of an emergency the current security level determines the frequency
by which this communication is checked and the backup system requirements here
follows some examples of security measures to take a different security
levels security level 1 no requirements to have the communication checked or to
have backup communication security level 2 perform regular communication checks
one method of backup communication security level 3 perform a regular
communication checks more than one method of backup communication
