Background and Introduction

INTRODUCTION  With the IMO passing the ISPS Code for Ships & Port Facilities in 2002 at the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), SOUTH AFRICA became a signatory to the IMO resolution and the National Department of Transport (DOT) was designated as the Custodian for the implementation of the Code.  The ISPS Code was given effect by the Merchant Shipping (Maritime Security) Regulations,  All seven South African commercial ports are compliant with the Code and the Regulations of  Port Facilities and Service Providers within these ports that are required to have maritime security plans have such plans in place.  The National Ports Act 12 of 2005 places the responsibility of security of the overall Ports system with the Transnet National Ports Authority..

INTRODUCTION (CONT…)  Transnet TNPA has a responsibility of facilitating trade and contributing positively to strengthening the economy and contributing to the international competitiveness of South Africa and the Southern African Region.  This implies that the Ports have to function as effective and efficient business units to meet these demands, through a secure enabling environment.  Currently, security upgrade projects are being undertaken in all the ports, including the Port of Ngqura, which will be the eighth commercial port to be security regulated before the end of  These security upgrade projects are intended to match international standards as per requirements of the Code and the Regulations.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN MARITIME TRANSPORT SECURITY LEGISLATIVE ARRANGEMENTS  The Constitution of South Africa Act 108 of 1996;  The National Ports Act 12 of 2005;  The Merchant Shipping (Maritime Security) Regulations, 2004; and  The Maritime Transport Security Bill.

MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT, 1951; MARITIME SECURITY REGULATIONS, 2004 Purpose of the regulations  To safeguard against unlawful interference with maritime transport  To achieve this purpose, these regulations establish a regulatory framework centred around the development of security plans for ships and other maritime transport operations  The implementation of this framework enables the Republic to meet its obligations under Chapter XI-2 of the Safety Convention and the ISPS Code

The South African Maritime Transport Security Legislative Arrangements The impact of the Maritime Transport Security Bill:  The Bill extends its application to other (non-commercial) ports not under the control and management of TNPA.  According to TNPA Security Management, the issues that the Bill and its Regulations should take into consideration are:  The regulation and control of other port participants like small vessels and entertainment areas e.g. yachts, restaurants and casinos within the ports;  Shipping Agents should undergo training in the ISPS Code to appreciate the complications of Maritime Transport Security;  Adjusting the lifespan of the Maritime Transport Security Planning and Co-ordination Plan to match with the other Maritime Security Plans; and  Weapons and prohibited items permitted in terms of class by the Director-General should be done in consultation with the concerned maritime industry participants.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ISPS CODE IN SOUTH AFRICAN PORTS  All seven South African commercial ports are compliant with the Code and the Regulations of  Eighth Port, the new Port of Ngqura is finalising the ISPS accreditation with the authorities  Maritime Security Plans were submitted for review by TNPA in April 2009  Instructions received from the DG DOT to vary the plans to address current maritime transport security outcomes;  Efforts being undertaken to minimise the negative impact of security ameliorations;  Emphasis on training and development of Port/ Facility Security Officers – currently undergoing a Maritime Security Managers Course; and  Implementation of uniform security policy, measures and procedures.

THE IMPACT OF THE ISPS CODE ON PORT OPERATIONS  The positive impacts have been:  Improvement in the handling of vessel clearances;  Reduction of crime in the most crime-prolific areas of the Ports;  Standardisation of Security policies, measures procedures; and  Improved co-operation between Port/ Facility Security and State Security/ Emergency Agencies/ Services.

South African Initiatives towards upgrading Ports Security Infrastructure

PORT SECURITY UPGRADE PROJECTS to Meet International Obligations  The main focus of the project has been to:  lay fibre optic cables;  install the hardware (readers, cameras etc.); and  ensure that the flow of traffic and various control /access buildings are built.  Currently sophisticated electronic security surveillance systems incorporating infra-red detection and closed circuit television are amongst some of the equipment being installed.  Steel palisade perimeter fencing is almost complete and purpose designed access control facilities are being replaced, up-graded or installed.  This is to safeguard TTNPA assets and cargo, whilst simultaneously monitoring the movement of people and vehicles at the port access/egress control points.
