Section 1 ISPS requirements Drills & exercises Security personnel duties PFSP Port security measures Risks to port security

Drills and exercises - general requirements Objectives  To test how well port security personnel can: Responsibility do their jobs at all security levels, and identify any security-related deficiencies which need to be addressed The PFSO must ensure that drills and exercises are carried out at appropriate intervals Allowances  To test the effective implementation of the PFSP May be conducted with other emergency response activities Drills & exercises must take into account Part B of the ISPS Code

Drills and exercises - general requirements Frequency. At least every 3 months (or if warranted) Focus. Individual elements of the PFSP (incl security threats) Factors to consider. Types of port facility operations, port facility personnel changes, vessel types serviced Port personnel Personnel must be familiar with the PFSP and trained in the processes and procedures to be tested.

Drills and exercises - general requirements Should be carried out at least once a year with no more than 18 months between exercises Type of exercises should vary Should test: - communication - coordination - resource availability - response May be limited to the port facility May be inter-agency May vary in complexity Requests for ship participation needed PFSO participation in exercises is required by the ISPS Code

Additional guidance - definitions DRILL A simple activity that tests an individual element of the PFSP eg Access control Container tampering Dangerous goods EXERCISE A more complex activity that tests several (or all) port security functions at the same time Drills help prepare port security personnel for more complex exercises

Drills definition purpose US Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program 2006 definition A coordinated, supervised activity usually employed to test a single task, procedure or function in a single agency purpose To provide training in the use of new equipment To develop or test new policies or procedures To practice and maintain current skills

Exercises definition purpose A more complex activity in which several functions are coordinated and tested purpose Communication Coordination Resource availability Response To promote emergency preparedness To test or evaluate emergency operations, policies, plans, procedures or facilities To train personnel in emergency response and to demonstrate operational capabilities

The context of drills and exercises Security personnel duties Security threats PFSP Security measures How well do security personnel perform their duties? How effective are the security measures in protecting the port facility from security threats? How effective is the entire security system?

Port security personnel duties USE KNOW Crowd management and control techniques Security-related communications Security equipment and systems (operation, testing, calibration, maintenance) Inspection, control and monitoring techniques Methods of physical searches Current security threats and patterns Techniques used to avoid security measures RECOGNIZE & DETECT Weapons, and dangerous substances and devices Characteristics and behaviour of persons who are likely to threaten security Drills & exercises should test how well security personnel can do their jobs

Key security threats Types of security threats Damage to, or destruction of, the port facility or of the ship, eg by explosive devices, arson, sabotage or vandalism Types of security threats Unauthorized access or use (incl. stowaways) Smuggling weapons or equipment (incl. WMD) Hijacking or seizure of the ship or of persons on board Blockage of port entrances, locks, approaches, etc Use of the ship to carry terrorists & their equipment Tampering with cargo, key ship equipment or systems, or ship’s stores Nuclear, biological and chemical attack Use of the ship as a weapon or means to cause damage or destruction

Port security measures Ensure security performance Control access to the port facility Monitor port facility Monitor restricted areas Supervise cargo handling Supervise handling ship’s stores Ensure security communication is readily available Drills & exercises should test how effective port security measures are

The bottom line Use drills and exercises often enough so that emergency response becomes automatic, where personnel respond immediately when the real thing happens, instead of having to think about it first, or going back to manuals for guidance, or panicking and losing control

The bottom line Conducting drills and exercises helps the port facility: Know if people can effectively perform their security duties Know if the system is working well or what needs to be improved Learn from mistakes Give people the confidence that the system will respond in case of an actual threat or incident

What is a security drill? Now for a quick drill What is a security drill?

Give an example of a drill. Explain what happens.

The PFSO is responsible for security drills and exercises at the port facility. TRUE OR FALSE?

What is a functional exercise?

If a ship is in port during a drill or exercise, the port can require the ship to participate in the activity. TRUE OR FALSE?

The scope of a functional exercise can range from a single function to several functions, from one agency to several agencies. TRUE OR FALSE?

Give an example of a functional exercise. What happens here?

DRILLS should prepare security personnel and other port facility personnel for more complex exercises TRUE OR FALSE?

What is a full-scale exercise?

Give an example of a full-scale exercise. Explain what happens.

Drills and exercises should be based on (a) what the PFSO decides to do (b) instructions from the Government (c) the requirements of the Port Facility Security Plan

When developing drills & exercises just stick to what Part A of the ISPS Code says TRUE OR FALSE?

What is the recommended time interval for conducting drills & exercises?

Which of the following are security duties? Monitoring restricted areas of the port facility Checking container seals Inspecting a truck delivering ship’s stores Issuing the right passes to visitors Responding to a ship’s alert system when activated in port Testing port lighting

What are the 4 main things to test in an exercise?
