IMO Guide to Maritime Security and the ISPS Code 2021 Edition IB116E

This User Guide has been developed to consolidate existing IMO maritime security-related material into an easily read companion guide to SOLAS Chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code to assist States in promoting maritime security through the development of the requisite legal framework, associated with administrative practices, procedures and the necessary material, technical and human resources.

It is intended both to assist SOLAS Contracting Governments in the implementation, verification, compliance with, and enforcement of, the provisions of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code.

It should also serve as an aid and reference for those engaged in delivering capacity-building activities in the field of maritime security.

The second edition incorporates guidance approved by the MSC on the development of maritime security legislation as well as maritime cyber risk management. It includes updated sources for further information to support the implementation of the ISPS Code.
