ISPS Code Explained: What You Need To Know?

In this video, I explain why the ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code) was introduced after 9/11 — how it protects ships and ports and keeps maritime operations secure today. How are ships and ports protected today, and how does maritime security work? We will explore the legal framework of the Code, which is a mandatory requirement under Chapter XI-2 of the SOLAS Convention. You will learn about its two-part structure: Part A, which contains mandatory requirements, and Part B, which provides guidance on how to apply them in practice. You will clearly understand: What the ISPS Code is And Why It Is Mandatory Under SOLAS ?
