  3. Changing a Culture • The maritime industry and appropriate government bodies have had to play a major role in the implementation of a new philosophy in facing the security realities like never before. • Tremendous efforts have been put forward to better understand a multitude of concepts starting with the identifying of risks and continuing with the actioning of security plans . • Often, organizations lose momentum when it’s time to test and exercise these plans. 2006/TPT-WG-28/MEG-SEC/034
