Declarations of Security

  31 With regard to the completion, on request of the ship, of a Declaration of Security (DoS) when interfacing with a port facility or a ship not covered by a security plan, the Committee confirmed its working assumption that, for port facilities not covered by the regulations, the coastal State would have to ensure that a contact point was to be provided ashore, with whom the ship could communicate and who would be empowered to sign the DoS while, for a ship not covered by a security plan, again there should be a designated contact point ashore (in the coastal State) or on the ship designated to sign the DoS.
