ISPS Code

The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code is a set of international rules created to enhance the security of ships and ports against threats like terrorism. It requires ship and port operators to assess risks, develop security plans, and implement measures such as access control, surveillance, and emergency procedures. The goal is to prevent security breaches, ensure safe maritime trade, and protect lives and property. The ISPS Code is part of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code and is enforced by governments worldwide to create a uniform standard for maritime security.
