Restrictions on access
All traffic and access to the ISPS port facilities is regulated and controlled. An access certificate / approved documentation is required for personnel, vehicles and cargo to enter the port facility or on board the ship in accordance with Regulations on securing ports.
In order to ensure the security around a port of call, we must therefore be restrictive with access permits. Access to restricted areas can be applied for here. To gain access, you must complete an online course in port and terminal security.
Course certificates are uploaded with an application for an restricted area, here it is stated which ports / port areas you want access to.
What is ISPS security?
The ISPS Code (The International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code) was adopted on 12-12-2002 by the United Nations Maritime Organization IMO, and aims to protect vessels, crew and passengers in international traffic, against terrorist acts.
Port facilities that call at ships in international traffic must be ISPS-approved, ie delimited, fenced and controlled. Everyone must show an approved access card and have completed an ISPS course to enter an ISPS terminal.
