Identification is required

  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.
