The weak points 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. Necessity of cooperation Urge and assist every Contracting Government to implement SOLAS/ISPS effectively and continuously by establishing a PDCA cycle in each country. Country B PFSO Country A Country F SSO Country C Check Trade partners may be in danger if one port does not implement effective security measures Check Country D Check Check Country E Factory PFSO

5. Capacity Building efforts and initiatives on Maritime Security approaches to assist Capacity Building efforts Global approach Strong but difficult and time-consuming in establishing universal framework. Bilateral approach Quick but need lots of resources. Possible overlaps with other donors. Regional approach - If facing common issues, can learn from each other & streamline efforts. Further efforts on capacity building are required. However, overlaps or even conflicts between various bilateral & regional efforts need to be minimized. Also such efforts should be coordinated and appropriately targeted. Japan’s regional approach through ASEAN/Japan & APEC
