Different Security Levels Objective: at the end of the topic, the trainee, must be able to differentiate the different security levels.
SECURITY Levels SECURITY Level • SECURITY Level 1 • SECURITY Level 2 • SECURITY Level 3 Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) • Low : Green Guarded: Blue Elevated: Yellow • High : Orange • Severe : Red
SECURITY Levels • A ship is required to act upon the security levels set by Contracting Governments • If a ship is required by the Administration to set at, a higher security level than that set for the port, then the ship should advise, without delay the competent authority of the Contracting Government • Both the Administration and Contracting Government can set the security levels • On receipt of of security level instructions, the ship shall acknowledge receipt and shall respond without undue delay to any change to a higher security level
Security Levels • Security Level 1: normal, the level at which the ship or port facility normally operates • Security Level 2: heightened, the level applying for as long as there is a heightened risk of security incident • Security Level 3: exceptional, the level applying for the period of time when there is the probable or imminent risk of security incident
SECURITY Level 1 • It means the new maritime security normalcy. This is the level of threat potential for which protective measures may be maintained for an indefinite period of time; in other words, these are normal, every day security measures.
SECURITY Level 2 It means there is a heightened threat of a unlawful act against a port, waterfront facility, or vessel and intelligence indicates that terrorists are likely to be active within a specific area or against a specific class of target. This risk level indicates that a particular segment of the industry may be in jeopardy, but that no specific target has been identified. Additional protective measures may be expected to be sustained for substantial periods of time.
SECURITY Level 3 It means the threat of a unlawful act against a port, waterfront facility, or vessel is probable or imminent. Intelligence may indicate that terrorist have chosen specific targets, though it may not be possible to identify such targets. Additional protective measures are not intended to be sustained for substantial periods of time.
Security measures could be taken at each security level covering: 1. Access to the ship by ship’s personnel, passengers, visitors, etc; 2. Restricted areas on the ship; 3. Handling of cargo; 4. Delivery of ship’s stores; 5. Handling unaccompanied baggage; 6. Monitoring the security of the ship
