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

6. 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

7. 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.

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

14. 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?

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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

18. 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

19. 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
