5 Security Provisions

  5.1 The special measures to enhance maritime security are contained in SOLAS chapter XI-2 and in the ISPS Code. The requirements form the international framework through which ships and port facilities can co-operate to detect and deter acts which threaten security in the international maritime transport sector.

  5.2 In addition, explicit security provisions for personnel, involved in the transport of dangerous goods by sea and shore-based personnel involved in handling IMDG Code classified dangerous cargoes in ports, have been included in the IMDG Code since Amendment 32-04.

  5.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of section 2.1 on application, because of the importance of detecting and preventing possible security threats and breaches in security, when IMDG Code classified dangerous cargoes might be involved, attention is drawn to the requirements of chapter 1.4 (Security provisions) of the IMDG Code.

  5.4 Competent Authorities should consider developing appropriate security-related provisions, based on the philosophy on which chapter 1.4 of the IMDG Code is based, for the non packaged dangerous cargoes .
