8 The Committee recognized that part B of the ISPS Code was albeit recommendatory,
a process all parties concerned needed to go through in order to comply
with part A. It was concluded that paragraph 9.4 of part A of the ISPS Code
required that in order for an ISSC to be issued, the guidance in part B would need to be taken into account.
9 The Committee further specifically considered
that an ISSC would not be issued unless paragraphs 8.1 to 13.8 of part B of the ISPS Code had been taken into
account.
