Maritime Transport Security

Maritime transport security involves measures to protect ships, crew, cargo, and ports from threats like terrorism, piracy, smuggling, and accidents. It includes vigilance, screening, and access controls to prevent unauthorized or dangerous activities on and around vessels and maritime facilities. International organizations and countries work together to implement security protocols, such as the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, ensuring safety while facilitating global trade. Overall, it aims to minimize risks and maintain safe, reliable maritime operations essential to worldwide commerce.
