Port Facility Security Plan Reviews

To ensure that the Port Facility meets the required ISPS
standards the PFSO must carry out a review of the PFSP
periodically.

UK ports must review their PFSPs at least every 6 months.

Additionally an annual internal audit of the PFSP is required. TRANSEC apply a 'stepped approach' to non-compliance. This means that the penalties will increase according to the gravity or frequency of the failure and could result in the suspension of Port operations whilst ratification is carried out.

 

Potential Problems may arise with:  

• Changes in operations

• Anomalies with other operational instructions

• Changing security levels

• Training

• Contingency Planning Exercises
