  1. “As outlined, IMO's maritime security initiatives, conducted in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, INTERPOL and others, promote such approaches and, in particular, encourage the establishment of national maritime security and facilitation committees, national security plans and contingency plans endorsed at the highest level, as well as regional communication between national focal points and more comprehensive training and certification programmes for security personnel working at key national points.”

  2. “Although the two modes of transport differ, there are many key similarities between aviation and maritime security, not the least of which are the importance of member States adopting a multi-agency, whole-of-Government approach to the organization of security, including the protection of vital infrastructure; the importance of addressing the whole security system, that is, through threat, risk and vulnerability assessments; the selection, training and certification of personnel; and equipment, procedures and holistic oversight. To those can be added the need for contingency and resilience planning, and for the protection of transport systems and infrastructure to be seen as an enabler of economic development, thus helping to meet sustainable development goals and prevent violent extremism.”

  3. “At the lowest level, that includes implementing frameworks and developing tools for raising security awareness among all employees. However, in order to ensure the establishment better and more sustainable security systems, Governments and the port sector should develop port security as a career, not just ajob, with a focus on developing graduated training packages and programmes aimed at enabling personnel to progress from patrolling and guarding to security supervisory and management roles. There is also significant benefit to be had from developing port-facility security-officer networks designed to help officers exchange best practices and learn from one another.”

  4. “In order to do that, it is vital that national Governments assure their national oversight capability for safety and security and promote the application of the Code and the ILO/IMO Code of Practice in Ports and Offshore Installations. That includes promoting the establishment of port security and facilitation advisory committees as a vehicle for inter-agency cooperation for wider security that addresses all security-related threats, including theft, drugs, illegal wildlife, stowaways, migrant smuggling and terrorism, with Government oversight ensuring effectiveness, an approach that lends itself to the protection of other sectors' critical infrastructure. Effective security systems require effective procedures, appropriate equipment and, above all, adequately trained and motivated people.”

  5. “For the longer- term development of the whole maritime sector, IMO programmes - such as our support to the Yaounde' process in West and Central Africa, pursuant to resolutions 2018 (2011) and 2039 (2012), and the Jeddah Amendment to the Djibouti Code of Conduct 2017, adopted in January - focus on challenging sea-blindness and encouraging investment in the whole of the maritime sector. This includes encouraging national authorities to break down silos and switch from a departmental focus to a national focus and to engage with the private sector. We need not only to encourage the port sector input to national maritime business plans and national and regional maritime and maritime security strategies, but to promote the concept of the port as a service-provider to ships, addressing the us-and-them attitude.”

  6. “At the national level, these include enhancing the efficiency of the whole maritime sector by improving cooperation between ports and ships and developing a closer partnership between the two sectors; raising global standards and setting norms for the safety, security and efficiency of ports and port and coastal State authorities; and improving standardization of port procedures through identifying and developing best practice guidance and training materials.”

  7. “One of the biggest challenges to effective implementation of maritime security and maritime law enforcement measures is that they are seen as departmental issues - issues for the navy, coast guard, police, port authority, maritime authority, or customs and border control - with those agencies competing for scarce resources, rather than being part of a national, multi-agency response to developing the port and maritime sector. Through our programme of capacity-building initiatives to enhance maritime security, IMO's aim is to work with developed and developing countries, the shipping industry and public and private ports with a view to promoting best practices and building bridges between the diverse actors.”

  8. “The Millennium Development Goals for developing countries have been replaced by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for global application. In this context, IMO actively assists States to address SDG 9 with respect to improving the resilience of infrastructure and other key SDGs. The focus on reactive efforts to counter terrorism have been replaced by a focus on proactive measures to prevent terrorism in the first place. There is also a need to focus on the opportunities offered by the shipping sector. That involves looking at ports and shipping as wealth-creators within the context of economic development. In this regard, efficient and effective port safety and security is becoming increasingly important and marketable.”

  9. “IMO has also developed a number of training packages on ship and port security, including the conduct of drills and exercises and the development of maritime security legislation, which are delivered upon request from member Governments. We also have a vibrant programme of technical cooperation activities to assist Member States to develop capacity and capability to deter, prevent, detect and respond to security threats, which complements our 2017 World Maritime Day theme, "IMO: Connecting ships, ports and people". The world has changed since the introduction of the special measures to enhance maritime security. Ongoing threats to the port, shipping and offshore sectors and related infrastructure continue to evolve. The responses to these challenges have also changed.”

  10. “The promotion of such coordination mechanisms, consistent with the ILO/IMO Code of Practice and other guidance issued by IMO, forms the cornerstone of the organization's work on promoting better compliance with chapter X1-2 and the Code. In fact, since 2001 IMO has developed a range of guidance, self-assessment tools and training materials for the protection of ports, ships and offshore installations. These include model courses for port facility security officers; guidelines on training and certification for port facility security officers; guidance on voluntary self-assessment by Convention Contracting Governments and by port facilities; and consolidated guidance in the form of the Guide to Maritime Security and the Code, published in 2012.”

  11. “Critical to the success of port and port facility security regimes, be they for protecting port infrastructure against terrorist attack, countering theft and other criminal activity, or preventing access to ships by terrorists, drug smugglers or stowaways, is a well- coordinated, risk-based preventive strategy. Although IMO has no mandate to assess the compliance of port facilities with chapter Xl-2 of the Convention and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code per se, it is readily apparent that the absence of port and port facility security committees is an indicator of a lack of inter-agency cooperation and thus of poor port facility security.”

  12. “Unlike on ships, where an existing safety culture was relatively easy to evolve into a security culture, the security structure in ports is generally far more complex, involving many players from different governmental, law enforcement and private entities. Many countries view ports as critical infrastructure and their security as a facet of national security. However, without clear national and local legislation, policies and direction coordinating the activities of all key stakeholders, security responses in ports are, at best, fragmented.”

  13. “IMO also cooperated with the International Labour Organization (ILO) to develop a Code of Practice on Security in Ports, which effectively extended the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code into the wider port area; and with the World Customs Organization on container security, which led to the development and adoption in June 2005 of the SAFE Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade. In terms of the practical implementation of chapter Xl-2 of the International Convention and the International Ship and Port Facility SecurityCode, it would be fair to say that the main challenges are in the port facilities.”

  14. “The main focus is on preventive security through a continuous risk-management process, which includes procedures for deterrence and threat transfer, rather than countering terrorism per se. The special measures to enhance maritime security, detailed in chapter XI-2 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, provide a practical, risk-based framework not only for maritime security, but also for wider application. Although the Convention addresses the safety of life at sea and thereby provides jurisdictional challenges ashore, where most of the preventative security measures are applied, IMO addressed this by leaving it to Member States to define the geographical limits oftheir port facilities, including their application to offshore installations.”

  15. “Together, these international instruments provide a firm legal basis, both for allowing Parties to bring perpetrators of incidents to justice and for IMO activities in the field of maritime security, including active collaboration with the work of the Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate and the General Assembly's Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force. In the context of security, IMO focuses on what the civil maritime industry - that is, both the shipping and port sectors - and the offshore sector can do to protect themselves and others against possible maritime security threats, including acts of terrorism, and to assist Governments through the implementation of appropriate security measures to protect global maritime trade.”

  16. “Within the legal framework for the protection of critical infrastructure, IMO is the responsible organization for the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic; the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, including the associated International Ship and Port Facility Security Code; and the 1988 and 2005 Conventions for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation, and their associated Protocols for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Fixed Platforms located on the Continental Shelf.”

  17. “Mr. Trelawny: The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Mr. Kitack Lim, thanks the President of the Security Council and the Government of Ukraine for the invitation to participate in this high-level open debate on the protection of critical infrastructure against terrorist attacks. He very much regrets that he is unable to be here in person, but has asked me to deliver his statement. IMO is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for the safety, security and efficiency of international maritime transport and the protection of the marine environment.”
