Since September 11th 2001, the maritime industry has come under increasing pressure to improve security awareness and develop security measures appropriate to the threat level.

International and national regulations and guidance are in place, but your company, ship, or port facility may not be ready to meet these important requirements.

In an effort to help port authorities, facility managers, and shipping companies develop and implement their security plans,
