22 Control of access by shore based personnel
to ships when in port should be regulated under the provisions of
the respective PFSP. The circumstances when access to ships through
the port facility is restricted, or denied, to owners' representatives,
safety inspectors or auditors, maintenance and repair personnel and
representatives of seafarers' welfare and labour organizations should
be specified in the PFSP and approved by the Contracting Government.
In general every effort should be made to facilitate such access unless
there are specific security-related reasons specified in the PFSP
for not doing so.
