Aim • The main purpose of a DoS is to ensure agreement is reached between the ship and the port facility or with other ships with which it interfaces, to confirm the security measures each will undertake in accordance with the provisions of their respective approved security plans. • ISPS Code Part B, par. 5.4, page 55
Consulting Process • The request for a DoS requires consultation between the Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) and the Ship Security Officer (SSO) • The agreed DoS should be signed and dated by both the port facility and the ship, to indicate compliance with the code.
Declaration of Security • A DOS is a document that should be completed when : • The Administration of the port facility deems it necessary Or • A ship deems it necessary.
Reasons to complete a DOS • Contracting Governments shall determine when a Declaration of Security is required by assessing the risk the ship/port interface or ship-to-ship activity poses to persons, property or the environment. • A ship can request completion of a Declaration of Security when: • The ship is operating at a higher security level than the port facility or another ship it is interfacing with;
there is an agreement on a Declaration of Security between Contracting Governments covering certain international voyages or specific ships on those voyages; • there has been a security threat or a security incident involving the ship or involving the port facility, as applicable; • the ship is at a port which is not required to have and implement an approved port facility security plan; or • the ship is conducting ship-to-ship activities with another ship not required to have and implement an approved ship security plan
Important Points to Note • A DoS can be requested at Marsec 2 or 3 • Where there is considered to be a higher risk for reasons specific to that vessel, it’s cargo, passengers or the circumstances at the port facility or any combination of the above • A change in the security level may require a new or revised DoS • The DoS should be completed in English, French or Spanish, or in a language common to both port facility and ship(s).
Form of a DoS • Name of the ship • Port of Registry • IMO Number • Name of the Port Facility • Date the DoS is valid from/to • Security level for the ship • Security level for the port facility.
Signatories • PFSO & SSO initial the columns on the DoS • PFSO & the Master or SSO sign the DoS • The name and appointment/title of the persons who signed is added • Contact details of the PFSO, Master and SSO are added (indicating telephone numbers or radio channels or frequencies to be used).
I. Documentation and records • International Ship Security Certificate or Interim International Ship Security Certificate • Continuous Synopsis Record • Declaration of Security • Ship Security plan and associated records
Records of actions defined in SSP: Activities for records shall be kept on board : • Training, drills and exercises • Security threats and security incidents • Breaches of security • Changes in security level • Communications relating to the direct security of the ship such as specific threats to the ship or to port facilities the ship is in or has been to • Internal audits and review of security activities
Records of actions defined in SSP: Activities for records shall be kept on board : • Periodic review of the Ship Security Assessment • Periodic review of the Ship Security Plan • Implementation of any amendments to the plan • Maintenance, calibration and testing of security equipment, if any, including testing of theship security alert system • Measures taken whilst visiting a port facility located in the territory of a State which is not a Contracting Government e.g. DOS.
Security Administration • Documentation and records • Reporting security breaches • Monitoring and control • Security audits and inspections • Reporting nonconformities
II. Reporting security breaches • When a security incident occurred, the SSO shall report the incident to : • the Flag Administration • the Contracting Government of the Port Facility where the ship is calling at (through PFSO or similar) and • the CSO • The Master & SSO shall use the “security incident report” form • These records must be kept on board for the minimum period specified by the Administration
Security Administration • Documentation and records • Reporting security breaches • Monitoring and control • Security audits and inspections • Reporting nonconformities
Assessment of Continuing Effectiveness of the SSP • The SSP establishes HOW the CSO and the SSO intend to audit the continued effectiveness of the SSP and the procedure to be followed to REVIEW, UPDATE or AMEND the SSP. • The assessment of the continuing effectiveness of the SSP includes : • The security inspection • The review of the SSP • The internal audit
Assessment of Continuing Effectiveness of the SSP • When ship is fitted with the security or monitoring equipment, the SSO shall inspect them once every month and RECORD the results. • Inspection methods shall follow the makers’ instructions (A/12.2.1) • The Security Inspection
Assessment of Continuing Effectiveness of the SSP • The master and SSO shall review the SSP at least once a year • Normally this review should be made at the same time when SMS is reviewed • The result shall be reported to the CSO (A/9.4.11, B/9.2.6, B/9.53) • The Review of SSP
Assessment of Continuing Effectiveness of the SSP • The CSO has responsibility to conduct an internal audit of the ship at least once a year • Normally this audit should be made at the same time when SMS audit is conducted • Personnel to conduct the internal audit should not be the crew of the ship • A copy of record of internal audit should be placed on board the ship (A/9.4.8, B/9.2.6, B/9.53) • The Internal Audit
Security Administration • Documentation and records • Reporting security breaches • Monitoring and control • Security audits and inspections • Reporting nonconformities
V. Reporting nonconformities • The audit, inspection, and periodic review process required by the ISPS Code naturally calls for a means of identifying, communicating and rectifying non-conformities • Both the SSOand the CSO play key roles in this effort to keep the SSPin an optimum condition
