ISPS practical packs

A management systems approach to the ISPS Code

The ISPS Code requires that you plan and manage the security of your vessels. Security assessments, security plans, training, exercises and the documentation of your security regime will require careful consideration.

We recognise that a management systems approach is the best way to help ensure that your security systems are comprehensive, practical, meaningful and compliant. Our ship and port practical packs can help you achieve the finest security management.

Built on years of management systems experience, our ISPS Ship and Port Practical Packs provide the tools necessary to adopt a management systems approach in developing ship and port security plans and defining management responsibilities under the ISPS Code. This is achieved by adopting practical approaches, concepts and continuous improvement. The packs are available to delegates attending the ISPS CCS, SSO and PFSO training courses as part of our ship and port advisory services.
