1. Presenter’s Name:Kinya ICHIMURA Special Assistant to the Director of the Office, Security and Emergency Management Office, Ports and Harbors Bureau, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure Transport and Tourism (MLIT) Economy:JAPAN Progress Report on ASEAN - Japan Maritime Transport Security Program

2. Background Why international cooperation is important? Concerned issues of SOLAS/ISPS Where no external audit scheme exists for security measures, and unless every country implements and maintains effective security measures at their ports and on their ships, our trade network will not remain secure. Importance of cooperation Assist Contracting Government to implement SOLAS/ISPS effectively and continuously by establishing a PDCA cycle in each country. PFSO Country B Ship Security Officer (SSO) Check Country D Country C Check Check Trade partners may not be secure if one port does not implement effective security measures Check Factory Country A Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO)

3. Capacity Building efforts and initiatives on Maritime Security Approaches to assist Capacity Building efforts Global approach Regional approach Bilateral approach Strong but difficult and time-consuming in establishing universal framework. • Strength and quickness are balanced. Quick but need lots of resources. Possible overlaps with other donors. Overlaps or conflicts between various bilateral & regional efforts need to be minimized. Such efforts should be coordinated and targetedappropriately. Japan: Regional approach through ASEAN/Japan & APEC

4. ASEAN-Japan Transport Partnership Projects • Currently, 21 projects are in progress. Maritime Transport Security is one of the selected important themes. • 7 of 21 projects are related to maritime issues. • AJMT-1 ASEAN-Japan Seafarers Policy Cooperation • AJMT-2 ASEAN-Japan Maritime Transport Security Program • AJMT-3 ASEAN-Japan Cruise Promotion Project • AJMT-4 ASEAN-Japan High-Speed Maritime Network • AJMT-5 ASEAN “Mega-Float” Promotion Project • AJMT-6 ASEAN-Japan Port Technology Joint Research Project • AJMT-7 ASEAN-Japan Cooperation on Coast Guard Development • AJMT-1 ASEAN-Japan Seafarers Policy Cooperation • AJMT-2 ASEAN-Japan Maritime Transport Security Program • AJMT-3 ASEAN-Japan Cruise Promotion Project • AJMT-4 ASEAN-Japan High-Speed Maritime Network • AJMT-5 ASEAN “Mega-Float” Promotion Project • AJMT-6 ASEAN-Japan Port Technology Joint Research Project • AJMT-7 ASEAN-Japan Cooperation on Coast Guard Development

5. ASEAN/Japan Maritime Transport Security Program (AJMT-2) Port Security in each country 3rd stage How to check & upgrade security measures 2nd stage How effectively & continuously implement SOLAS 1st stage How to comply with SOLAS (~SOLAS Enforcement) • -Establish a meeting of security experts (Port Security Experts Meeting: PSEM) and further challenge to improve overall level of ISPS compliance in this region. • -Establish PDCA cycle to enable effective and continuous implementation of security measures at port facilities in each country • Develop Regional Action Planon Port Security (RAPPS) • 7 PSEMs • 4 Joint Exercises • -Effective implementation for SOLAS/ISPS Code • 4 Seminars • 2 Work Shops • -Preparation for SOLAS/ISPS Code • 3 Seminars • 2 Work Shops (2003~2004) (2004~2006) (2006~)

6. “How to check & upgrade security measures” (3rd stage) ■2 layered action plans with aim to establish PDCA cycle Regional Action Plan on Port Security ( RAPPS) Individual Action Plan ( IAP) CollectiveActions • 1. ASEAN-Japan Joint Exercise on port Security (JE) • 2. JICA Training Course on Port Facility Security ■A driver of the regional approach • ○Port Security Expert Meeting (PSEM) • 　－Dluft up RAPPS • 　－Support member countries to conduct Joint Exercise and follow-up • 　－Draw up 6 manuals on capacity building, which is used in Training course • conducted by JICA

7. ASEAN-Japan Joint Exercise on Port Security (JE) • The Aim of JE • The goal of RAPPS is to establish PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) cycle for effective and continuous implementation of security measures by regularly conducted audit and exercise at port facilities in each country. • With the goal above, Joint Exercise (JE), as a project in RAPPS, has been conducted to let each country learn about counter-security-incident measures and to enable each country to conduct a exercise by itself. • Copntents of JE -Communication exercise -Field exercise -Evaluation meeting • Summary of JE achievement • Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) for port facilities in each country has reviewed by itself and its effectiveness has been confirmed. • Each country has recognized the importance of PDCA cycle on port security. • Each country has acquired knowledge and ability to independently implement port security exercises.

10. JICA Training Course on Port Facility Security Invited Countries (Mainly ASEAN countries) Curriculum (1) Basic knowledge Basic knowledge on ISPS, security regime and initiative under IMO and major countries including Japan, security threat and terrorist activity. (2) Table-top exercise Table-top exercise by role-playing the key players on port security. (The latest course used the APEC Drills and Exercise Manual) (3) Site visit Site visit to various types of port facilities for example at Yokohama and Nagoya ports. (4) Application Interactive exercises on PFSA, PFSP and Audits.

11. Future plans Regional Action Plan on Port Security (RAPPS) is successfully completed in 2010. JICA training courses will be held with the manuals made up in this program, continuously. The agreement was made at PSEM7 that ASEAN/ Japan keep seeking for further regional cooperation for capacity building. Began a new research project with regard to capacity building in the region. PSEM8will be held in Tokyo next February.

12. A New research project for Capacity Building • Objectives • Security-related capacity building for port facility security officer and port facility personnel to enhance maritime security in this region. • -find out a gap in port security, especially about training, certification and audit -share the latest Best Practice for capacity building • Timeline of the Project • Research conduction (June 2010) • Questionnaire Presentation of a interim report in Japan APEC (Oct. 2010) • Further discussion in PSEM8 (Feb. 2011) • Main findings (major gaps found in the research) <Certification> -In 9 countries, PFSO Is obliged to have a certification as mandatory. <Audit> -In 1 country, no external audit is conducted once a port facility security plan is approved. -In 1 country, external audit is conducted without any notice in advance. -Some countries request for development of a training course for an internal/external auditor. <Training> -All of 10 countries conduct a training course for PFSO, in accordance with ISPS code. -However, only 5 countries issue a guideline or a manual for PFSO training although IMO guideline is available as a reference. -Some countries expect a qualification system for a training instructor to be developed.
