ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code)

The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code is a set of regulations established by the International Maritime Organization to enhance security at ports and on ships. Implemented after the September 11 attacks, it aims to prevent maritime terrorism and other security threats. The code requires ships and port facilities to develop security plans, conduct assessments, and designate personnel responsible for security. By setting standards and protocols, the ISPS Code helps ensure the safety of international shipping by minimizing risks and protecting people and cargo from potential threats.
