Book excerpt: Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, there has been much discussion of the security of borders and ports of entry in the United States and around the world. Ports of entry, particularly sea ports, are viewed as one of the most defenceless targets for a terrorist attack. In response to this perceived vulnerability, a number of port security initiatives have been implemented both on both a domestic and international level. This timely project investigates a number of issues surrounding the container security issue. It examines the scope of containerized freight security, analyzes cooperation between agents in the United States and abroad, explores the politics of port security, and provides an assessment of 17 of the world's sea ports. The work sheds light on the container security threat and the domestic and international responses that have emerged, as well as those steps that still must be taken.

Readers may be surprised to learn that, with greater efficiency, they can actually improve security while reducing the cost of security at the same time. Using real-world case studies to support its analyses and recommendations, A Practitioner's Guide to Effective Maritime and Port Security: Reviews the core components of the international maritime operating environment Assesses the potential threats to ports in the maritime environment Examines approaches to maritime port security in the United States, European Union, and around the world Presents principles for effective, risk-based maritime and port security At the end of the book, two appendices provide a framework for conducting security risk assessments and threat assessments.

In order to effectively secure a dynamic port facility operation, one must understand the business of maritime commerce.

The book explains how the various stakeholders, including port management, security, government, and private industry, can collaborate to develop safe and secure best practices while maintaining efficient operations. Addressing the legislative measures, regulatory issues, and logistical aspects of port security, the book includes coverage of cruise ships, cargo security, CT-PAT, and emergency operations.

Download or read book Security in Ports written by International Labour Office and published by International Labour Organization. This book was released on 2004 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Code of Practice, developed jointly by the International Labour Office and the International Maritime Organization, contains a guidance framework for the formulation and implementation of security strategies and the identification of potential security risks. Aimed at governments, employers and workers, it is intended to promote a common approach to port security amongst Member states. The guidelines deal with a variety of issues including security roles, tasks and measures to deter, detect and respond to unlawful acts against ports serving international traffic and maritime operations, as well as considering security awareness and training. Practical examples of a port security assessment and a port security plan are also included. This code follows, where possible, the practice and principles identified in the IMO's ISPS Code and acts as a valuable, complementary guidance document to it, by extending consideration of port security beyond the area of the port facility into the whole port.

Book excerpt: Foreign ports and cargo carried by vessels from these ports are critical to the U.S. economy, but can be exploited by terrorists. Within the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Coast Guard are responsible for maritime security. Through the Container Security Initiative (CSI), CBP identifies and examines U.S.-bound cargo that may conceal weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and through the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), CBP partners with international trade community members to secure the flow of U.S.-bound goods. Under the International Port Security (IPS) program, Coast Guard officials visit foreign ports to assess compliance with security standards. This report addresses (1) the extent to which DHS has assessed the foreign ports that pose the greatest risk to the global supply chain and focused its maritime container security programs to address those risks; and (2) actions DHS has taken to help ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of its maritime security programs.
