Port Safety and Security

Port safety and security refer to the measures taken to protect ports and the vessels that use them from accidents, threats, and illegal activities. This includes preventing accidents, such as spills or collisions, as well as safeguarding against security threats, like terrorism or smuggling. Ports employ various strategies, including surveillance systems, strict access controls, and ongoing training for personnel. Ensuring safe and secure port operations is vital for protecting the economy, environment, and public safety, as ports are critical hubs for trade and transportation.
