  3.1 ISPS Code, section A/9.4.7, states that the ship security plan shall address the “duties of shipboard personnel assigned security responsibilities and of other shipboard personnel on security aspects”. ISPS Code, section A/13.3 and paragraph B/13.3, make reference to “shipboard personnel having specific security duties and responsibilities” and ISPS Code paragraph B/13.4 makes reference, in relation to ISPS Code, paragraph B/13.3, to “all other shipboard personnel”.

  3.2 As a result this Guidance uses the expression shipboard personnel “with designated security duties” to denote those having specific security duties and responsibilities in accordance with the ship security plan. The expression shipboard personnel “without designated security duties” is used to denote all other shipboard personnel.
