  3.1 ISPS Code, section A/16.3.6, states that the port facility security plan shall address the "duties of port facility personnel … on security aspects". ISPS Code, section A/18.2 and paragraph B/18.2, make reference to "port facility personnel having specific duties" and ISPS Code, paragraph B/18.3, makes reference, in relation to ISPS Code, paragraph B/18.2, to "all other port facility personnel".

  3.2 ILO/IMO Code of practice on security in ports, paragraph 10.1, states that "appropriate training of personnel working in the port should maximize personal awareness and … additional or special training may be required for people in particular roles".

  3.3 IMDG Code, paragraph 1.4.1.3, states that "port facility personnel engaged in the transport of dangerous goods should be aware of the security requirements for such goods, in addition to those specified in the ISPS Code, and commensurate with their responsibilities". Moreover, IMDG Code, paragraph 1.4.1.4, states, inter alia, that "the training of port facility personnel having specific duties, engaged in the transport of dangerous goods, should also include elements of security awareness related to those goods".

  • .1 port facility personnel "with designated security duties" to denote those having specific security duties and responsibilities in accordance with the approved port facility security plan; and

  • .2 port facility personnel "without designated security duties" is used to denote all other port facility personnel.
