Security arrangements – Designed to present “hard target” – Addresses vulnerabilities identified in port assessment – Addresses known threats
Communications – PFSO available to meet with ship – Declaration of Security completed if required – Frequent, open, easy communication (e.g. radio exchange)
Joint drills and/or exercises when appropriate
Incident response – First response by ship/shore personnel – Proximity and responsiveness of local government security forces and law enforcement DespiteDespite OurOur BestBest Efforts…Efforts… ThingsThings DoDo GoGo WrongWrong
