The Business and Management Review, Volume 10 Number 5 December 2019 Shipping and port security: Challenges and legal aspects Zillur Rahman Bhuiyan Managing Director, Marinecare Consultants Bangladesh Ltd. Marine Consultant in Maritime Safety and Security Key Words Globalization, ISPS Code, maritime transport system, security threats, UNCLOS. Abstract The current trend of globalization provides intense impact on access to resources, raw materials and markets, expedited by modern maritime transport system comprising shipping and port operations. Security of ships and port facilities, thus, discernibly an enormous challenge to the globalized world. The international maritime transport system is vulnerable to piracy, terrorism, illegal drug trafficking, gun-running, human smuggling, maritime theft, fraud, damage to ships & port facilities, illegal fishing and pollution, which can all disrupt maritime supply chains to the heavy cost of the global economy. This paper discusses the nature and effect of the security threats to the international shipping and port industry with impact on the international trade & commerce and governmental economy, taking into consideration of the emerging geopolitics, Sea Lines of Communication, chokepoints of maritime trading routes and autonomous ships. The existing legislative measures against maritime security appraised and evolution of automation and digitalization of shipping and port operations taken into consideration. Studying the contemporary maritime transport reviews, existing legislation and the threat scenarios to the shipping and port operations, this paper identifies further advancement to the existing maritime security legislation in respect of piracy and terrorism at sea, and recommends amendment to the International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) Code under the SOLAS Convention. 1 Introduction Globalization is based on the unrestricted movement of commodities, resources, information and people enhancing international trade and commerce through connectivity between the places of production and places of consumption. -

Puget Sound) and Hyas Chuck (Lake Washington), the Hills Along This Part of the Bay Sloped Steeply Into the Waters
HISTORY: PARK 11/6/76 When the Duwamish tribe inhabited the land between the Whulge (Puget Sound) and Hyas Chuck (Lake Washington), the hills along this part of the bay sloped steeply into the waters. The flat strip along the waterfront, from Yesler Way to Smith Cove is the result of fills. European explorers renamed many geographic features. In 1791 Captain Vancouver Puget Sound to honor Lt. Peter Puget of his crew. The Wilkes Expedition of 1841 honored a crew member; Edward Me any claims it was the chaplian. Rev. J. L. Elliott, but in 1954 Howard Hanson found that Midshipman Samuel Elliott was honored with the name for Elliott Bay. Lake Washington was in 1854 by Thomas Mercer, The Denny Party landed at Alki Beach in November of 1851 to establish a permanent settle- ment. They had scarcely finished construction of four cabins when a passing brig stopped, looking for a cargo of timber piles which the settlers eagerly provided. But it was obvious that water off shore was for a harbor. So they changed the site of the settle- ment to the shore of Elliott Bay. In 1853 Henry Yesler arrived and the commercial development of the waterfront with the construction of a sawmill. At first, skid roads, wagons and boats were able to supply the demands of the vessels from San Francisco and other ports of call, but when coal was discovered in the 1860's a faster means of overland transport was needed - the railroad. Tracks were laid from the growing town to the south end of Lake Union and by 1374 went to Renton and the mines of New Castle. -

Modernising Trust Ports [Second Edition] I
Modernising Trust Ports [second edition] i. Introduction This is the second edition of Modernising Trust Ports (MTP). The first was published in 2000 by the then Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, and followed a review of the trust ports sector that focused principally on corporate governance and accountability. That review highlighted a need for a general improvement in the openness and accountability with which trust ports conduct their business, and prompted the Department to stipulate governance guidelines which it expected all trust port boards to use as the benchmark of best practice — Modernising Trust Ports. A similar exercise was undertaken with respect to municipal ports. The general improvement sought by the Government has been widely in evidence in the years since then, and the sector should be congratulated for the considerable strides it has taken in this direction. In 2006 the successor Department for Transport embarked upon a thorough review of ports policy, in light of devolution in the UK planning and political systems, and the evolution of global trading patterns. The review looked among other things at the future of the mixed ports sector, including the outlook for trust ports in the coming decades. This was set against the backdrop of the decision by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) in 2001 to classify the largest trust ports as public corporations, which had the effect of placing those ports’ borrowing on the Department’s accounts, and the relevant ports' subsequent applications, now on hold, to remove themselves from perceived public sector controls through the pursuit of appropriate Harbour Revision Orders (HROs).
