7.1 Member States and other authorities may wish
to assist the operators of non-SOLAS vessels to become aware of the
security framework applying to ships and port facilities subject to SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS
Code. Key aspects of this framework relevant to non-SOLAS vessels
are:
- Awareness of security levels set by Contracting Governments;
- Requirements for interacting with ISPS-compliant vessels; and
- Requirements for interacting with ISPS-compliant port facilities.
7.2 Guidance on these three points is set out
in paragraphs 3 and 4 of part 2.
