Maritime Security Members’ reports: (cont.) Operational flexibility Approved training centres IMO Model Training Courses Office copies for internal training manuals Progress report for SSA/SSP work Assignment duties

Maritime Security Members’ reports: (cont.) Onboard CCTV fitting Evacuation procedures Port compliance registered at IMO Readiness of coastal states

Maritime Security Recent observations: Complete compliance? What if? Backlog of applications Consultants’ dropping fees tempt owners to start implementation work late Seafarers’ security concerns US MARSEC Budget USCG/Paris MoU pre-checks from Approval by USCG after all?

Maritime Security Questions: How will a CSO know which PFSOs to talk to prior to assessing a ship tramping in worldwide trade? How can an SSP become so ship- specific that each crewmember’s security duties are identified to the ”T” and every recommendation of the SSA incorporated rigidly?

Maritime Security Questions: Should only one Class society be appointed for all vessels or appoint for each vessel the assigned Class society or the Flag? How many ports have a PFSO who can advise the CSO of particular threats?
