23 The ISPS Code requires
all those wishing to board the ship to have a means of identification
which is acceptable to that ship. This includes stevedores and other
port workers. Stevedores and other port workers should carry identification
issued by the port facility or a local authority responsible for the
engagement or employment of stevedores. The dialogue between the ship
and the PFSO should establish how access to the ship by stevedores
and other port workers is to be controlled. In cases where the stevedores,
or other port workers, do not carry identification issued by either
the port facility or a local authority the ship may issue its own
temporary identification before allowing access.
