COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT


IMO - European Union submission to be adopted by the Council on a proposal for a

submission for guidelines on security-related training and familiarization for shore-

based personnel for the 87th session of the Maritime Safety Committee (agenda item 4)

meeting in London from 12 May to 21 May 2010

1. PURPOSE

This document contains a draft submission at MSC 87 for the adoption of guidelines

on security-related training and familiarization for both shore-based company

personnel, as defined in SOLAS regulations IX/1 and XI-2/1, and port facility

personnel, other than Company Security Officer, Port Facility Security Officer and

their deputies.

2. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

2.1 Considering the need to enhance maritime security and encourage consistent and

harmonized implementation of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code, the

Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) approved the following IMO circulars:

MSC/Circ.1154 on Guidelines on training and certification for Company security

officers (80th session – May 2005), MSC.1/Circ.1188 on Guidelines on training and

certification for port facility security officers (81st session – May 2006) and

MSC.1/Circ.1235 on Guidelines on security-related training and familiarization for

shipboard personnel (83rd

session – October 2007).

2.2. In order to achieve a comprehensive training framework on maritime security, the

training and familiarization requirements for other shore-based personnel should be

foreseen.

2.3 The proposed text contains the draft Guidelines on security-related training and

familiarization for shore-based company and port facility personnel which has been

drafted taking into account both the format and the language used in the agreed MSC

circulars with regard to company security officer, port facility security officer and

shipboard personnel other than ship security officer.

2.4. The draft Guidelines addresses alternative methods for demonstrating competency

and in appendix, it also contains three tables identifying relevant knowledge,

understanding and proficiencies (KUPs) for the three categories of personnel:

– Port facility personnel without designated security duties;

– Company personnel with designated security duties;

– Port facility security personnel with designated security duties.

EN 3 EN

2.5. The draft submission and the draft MSC Circular have already been proposed to the

scrutiny of the Committee established pursuant to the article 11 of Regulation (EC)

No 725/2004 on enhancing ship and port facility security during its 31st meeting on

18th December 2009 and they have received support from delegations who expressed

themselves.

3. EUROPEAN UNION COMPETENCE

Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 transposes SOLAS Chapter XI/2 and the ISPS Code

into the EU legislation. Therefore any proposal related to those international

instruments notably in the IMO framework falls under EU competence.

4. ACTION REQUESTED

The Council Shipping Working Party is invited to consider a European Union

submission on this matter, to be potentially supported by Norway and by Iceland,

with a view to propose, at the forthcoming MSC 87 meeting, guidelines on security-

related training and familiarization for shore-based personnel, and suggest that the

Maritime Safety Committee elaborates and approves a MSC Circular recommending

such guidelines on security-related training and familiarization for shore-based

personnel.

SUMMARY

Executive summary:

This document proposes the adoption of guidelines on security-related

training and familiarization training for both shore-based Company

Personnel, as defined in SOLAS regulations IX/1 and XI-2/1, and

port facility personnel. It also aims to highlight the opportunity to

amend paragraph B/18.1 of the International Ship and Port Facility

Security (ISPS) Code in order to solve the inconsistency with section

A/18.1 of the code as well as the opportunity to align guidances on

security-related training and familiarization set out in relevant MSC

resolutions and circulars with the recommendations of the

International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

Introduction

1 The ISPS Code establishes the general requirements for security-related training of

shipboard and shore-based personnel. These training requirements are identified in part A of

the ISPS Code, namely:

.1 Company security officer and appropriate shore-based Company personnel,

section A/13.1;

.2 ship security officer, section A/13.2;

.3 shipboard personnel having specific security duties and responsibilities, section

A/13.3;

.4 port facility security officer and appropriate port facility security personnel,

section A/18.1; and

.5 port facility personnel having specific security duties, section A/18.2.

2 Paragraph B/18.3 of the ISPS Code provides general guidance on knowledge and

familiarization on security-related matters for all other port facility personnel.

3 In order to better define the requirements contained in the ISPS Code, part A on

training, knowledge and ability of shipboard and shore-based personnel, the guidance given in

part B of the code is to be taken into account. In fact, training requirements should be

identified by both combining the relevant sections and the connected paragraphs of the ISPS

Code. This is the case for all the above mentioned personnel with the exception of the

appropiate port facility security personnel. Pursuant to section A/18.1 of the ISPS Code both

the port facility security officer and appropriate port facility security personnel shall have

knowledge and have received training, taking into account the guidance given in part B of the

code, whereas paragraph B/18.1 of the ISPS Code only addresses the training of the port

facility security officer. Therefore, an alignment of the existing text of paragraph B/18.1 with

that of section A/18.1 of the ISPS Code should be sought in order to achieve consistency.

4 In September 2003 the IMO Model courses 3.19, 3.20 and 3.21 for ship, Company

and port facility security officer respectively have been published. The co-sponsors of this

document believe that these publications might be updated in order to take into consideration

the recommendation set out in IMDG Code, section 1.4.1 which aims to address the security

of ships, port facilities and personnel dealing with transport by sea of dangerous goods, and

asks for a security awareness, related to those goods, commensurate with the detailed

personnel responsibilities.

EN 6 EN

5 The Maritime Safety Committee (the Committee), at its seventy-eighth session (May

2004) approved Resolution MSC.157(78) on the adoption of amendments for security

provisions in the IMDG Code.

6 The Committee, at its 78th session, also approved the publication of the ILO/IMO

Code of practice on security in ports.

7 The Committee, at its 80th session (May 2005) approved MSC/Circ.1154 on

Guidance on training and certification for Company security officers. The co-sponsors of this

document believe that the knowledge, understanding and proficiencies (KUPs) relevant to the

Company security officer as set in the annex to MSC/Circ.1154 might take into account the

recommendation set out in paragraph 1.4.1.4 of the IMDG Code.

8 The Committee, at its 81st session (May 2006) approved Resolution MSC.203(81) on

adoption of amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training,

Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention), Resolution MSC.209(81)

on adoption of amendments to the Seafarers' Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code

(STCW Code), STCW.6/Circ.9 on amendments to part B of the STCW Code, and

MSC.1/Circ.1188 on Guidelines on training and certification for port facility security officers.

The co-sponsors of this document believe that:

.1 specifications of minimum standards of proficiency for ship security officers

set out in table A-VI/5 of part A of the STWC Convention as listed in annex to Resolution

MSC.209(81), might take into account the recommendation set out in paragaph 1.4.1.5 of the

IMDG Code;

.2 the knowledge, understanding and proficiencies (KUPs) relevant to the port

facility security officer as provided in the annex to MSC.1/Circ.1188 might take into

consideration the recommendation set out in paragraph 1.4.1.4 of the IMDG Code.

9 The Committee, at its 83rd

session (October 2007) adopted MSC.1/Circ.1235

containing Guidance on security-related training and familiarization for shipboard personnel

in order to enhance maritime security and encourage a consistent and harmonized

implementation of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code . The co-sponsors of this

document believe that the knowledge, understanding and proficiencies (KUPs) relevant to

security awareness and shipboard personnel with designated security duties as set in Tables 1

and 2 of the annex to MSC.1/Circ.1235, might take into account the recommendations set out

in paragraphs 1.4.1.3 and 1.4.1.5 of the IMDG Code.

10 Given that no difficulties with regard to the implementation of MSC.1/Circ.1235

have been brought to the attention of the Committee, the co-sponsors of this document believe

that a three-tiered approach to the training and familiarization requirements for other shore-

based personnel should be foreseen as well, namely for:

EN 7 EN

.1 appropriate shore-based company personnel (ISPS Code, section A/13.1 and

paragraph B/13.1);

.2 appropriate port facility security personnel (ISPS Code, section A/18.1);

.3 port facility personnel having specific security duties (ISPS Code, section

A/18.2 and paragraph B/18.2); and

.4 other port facility personnel (ISPS Code, paragraph B/18.3).

11 The co-sponsors consider that requiring Company and port facility shore-based

personnel to undertake basic security-related training and familiarization, whichever is

applicable, is prudent, and that it also contributes towards the enhancement of security and

provides such personnel with better opportunities for career development. This proposal for

enhanced awareness and training in broad terms should consist of:

.1 basic training or instruction on security awareness and security-related

familiarization for shore-based port facility personnel without designated security duties;

.2 training or instruction on relevant security duties and security-related

familiarization for shore-based Company personnel with designated security duties; and

.3 training or instruction on relevant security duties and security-related

familiarization for shore-based port facility personnel with designated security duties.

Proposals

12 Although the co-sponsors of this document consider that:

.1 it is worth solving the inconsistency highlighted in paragraph 3, related to the

missing reference to appropriate port facility security personnel in the text of paragraph

B/18.1 of the ISPS Code;

.2 it could be worth aligning relevant MSC resolution, circulars and model

courses as identified in paragraphs 4, 7, 8 and 9 with the recommendations provided for in

IMDG Code, section 1.4.1;

they understand that an amendment to ISPS Code, part B and other relevant IMO instruments

as mentioned above could take place at a later stage and more suitable time. Nevertheless,

they consider it is worth having a first exchange of views on these subjects during MSC 87.

EN 8 EN

13 The co-sponsors of this submission, which aims to promote better defined standards

of competency and security-related familiarization training for shore-based personnel with

and without designated security duties, propose a draft MSC.1 circular on security-related

training and familiarization training for shore-based personnel, beyond Company security

officer and port facility security officer, as set out in annex to this document.

Action requested of the Committee

14 The Committee is invited to consider the proposals in paragraphs 12 and 13, and

decide as it deems appropriate.

GUIDELINES ON SECURITY-RELATED TRAINING AND FAMILIARIZATION

FOR SHORE-BASED COMPANY AND PORT FACILITY PERSONNEL

1 The Maritime Safety Committee (the Committee), at its eighty-seventh session (12-21

May 2010) recalled that the 2002 SOLAS Conference through its Resolution 2 adopted the

International Code for the Security of Ships and Port Facilities (International Ship and Port

Facility Security (ISPS) Code), hereinafter referred to as "the ISPS Code", which has become

mandatory under chapter XI-2 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea

(SOLAS), 1974.

2 The Committee also recalled that the International Labour Organization (ILO)

Governing Body, at its 289th session (March 2004), and the Committee, at its 78

th session

(May 2004), approved the publication of the ILO/IMO Code of practice on security in ports

(COP).

3 The Committee moreover recalled Resolution MSC.157(78) on adoption of

amendments to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

4 The Committee furthermore recalled the adoption of Resolution MSC.203(81) on

adoption of amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training,

Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention), Resolution MSC.209(81)

on adoption of amendments to the Seafarers' Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code

(STCW Code) and STCW.6/Circ.9 on amendments to part B of the STCW Code.

5 The Committee took into consideration MSC/Circ.1154 on Guidelines on training and

certification for Company security officers, MSC.1/Circ.1188 on Guidelines on training and

certification for port facility security officers and MSC.1/Circ.1235 on Guidelines on security-

related training and familiarization for shipboard personnel.

EN 10 EN

6 The Committee also considered the need to enhance maritime security and encourage

consistent and harmonized implementation of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code vis-à-

vis the provisions of the ILO/IMO COP and the IMDG Code and took into consideration the

document MSC 87/4/.. submitted by Austria et alter on proposed Guidelines on security-

related training and familiarization for shore-based Company and port facility personnel

without and with designated security duties.

7 As a result the Committee approved Guidance on security-related training and

familiarization training for Company and port facility shore-based personnel (the Guidance),

as set out in annex.

8 The Committee agreed that the sole purpose of the Guidance was to assist SOLAS

Contracting Governments and Designated Authorities in the implementation of the relevant

provisions of :

.1 ISPS Code, sections A/13.1, A/18.1 and A/18/2, and paragraphs B/13.1, B/18.2

and B/18.3;

.2 ILO-IMO Code of practice on security in ports, chapter 10; and

.3 IMDG Code, section 1.4.1.

9 SOLAS Contracting Governments are invited to bring the Guidance to the attention of

all parties concerned with the matter addressed therein.

10 SOLAS Contracting Governments, international organizations and non-governmental

organizations with consultative status which encounter difficulties with the implementation of

the Guidance should bring, at the earliest opportunity, the matter to the attention of the

Committee for consideration of the issues involved and decision on the action to be taken.

ANNEX

GUIDELINES ON SECURITY-RELATED TRAINING AND

FAMILIARIZATION FOR SHORE-BASED PERSONNEL

1 APPLICATION

1.1 The present Guidance applies to shore-based personnel, other than Company security

officer, port facility security officer and those listed in the following paragraphs 1.1.1 and

1.1.2, employed by a Company as defined in SOLAS regulation XI-2/1.1.7 or employed in a

port facility as defined in SOLAS regulation XI-2/1.1.9 which are required to comply with the

provision of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code.

1.1.1 Appropriate persons appointed to act on behalf of the Company security officer should

have received training in accordance with section A/13.1 and paragraph B/13.1 of the ISPS

Code, MSC/Circ.1154 on 23 May 2005 and paragraph 1.4.1.4 of the IMDG Code.

1.1.2 Appropriate persons appointed to act on behalf of the port facility security officer

should have received training in accordance with section A/18.1 of the ISPS Code,

MSC.1/Circ1188 on 22 May 2006 and paragraph 1.4.1.4 of the IMDG Code.

1.2 The term "shore-based personnel" means:

.1 Any other persons employed or engaged by the Company having specific

security duty and responsibility or capacity on the security of ships managed

by the Company as well as those persons which are responsible for appointing

the members of the crew or other persons employed on board ship in any

capacity on the business of the concerned ship and those who are responsible

for deciding the employment of the ship; and

.2 Any persons employed or engaged by the port facility having specific security

duties and all other port facility personnel as well as any persons working in

the port facility whom the port facility security plan requires for training or

instruction and familiarization training.

EN 12 EN

2 GENERAL PRINCIPLES

2.1 Shore-based personnel are not security experts and it is not the aim of the provisions

of the Guidance to convert them into security specialists.

2.2 Shore-based personnel should receive adequate security-related training or instruction

and familiarization training so as to acquire the required knowledge and understanding to

perform their assigned duties or perform their jobs and to contribute collectively to the

enhancement of maritime security.

2.3 Shore-based personnel should receive adequate security-related training or instruction

at least one time in their career.

2.4 The security-related familiarization training should be conducted by the Company

security officer and the port facility security officer or by an equally qualified person for

Company and port facility personnel respectively.

3 TERMINOLOGY

3.1 ISPS Code, section A/13.1 and paragraph B/13.1, make reference to "appropriate

shore-based personnel". ISPS Code, paragraph B/6, provides for general obligations of the

Company and clarified that "the Company security officer need not necessarily undertake all

the duties associated with the post".

3.2 ISPS Code, section A/16.3.6, states that the port facility security plan shell 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".

3.3 IMO-ILO COP, 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".

3.4 IMDG Code, paragraph 1.4.1.3, states that "any shore-based Company personnel, ship

based personnel and 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 shore-based company personnel

having specific security duties and port facility personnel having specific duties, engaged in

the transport of dangerous goods, should also include elements of security awareness related

to those goods".

EN 13 EN

3.5 As a result this Guidance uses the following expressions:

.1 shore-based Company personnel "with designated security duties" to denote

those having security duties and responsibilities and identified in paragraph

1.2.1;

.2 shore-based port facility personnel "with designated security duties" to denote

those having specific security duties and responsibilities in accordance with the

port facility security plan; and

.3 shore-based port facility personnel "without designated security duties" is used

to denote all other shore-based port facility personnel.

4 SHORE-BASED PORT FACILITY PERSONNEL WITHOUT DESIGNATED SECURITY DUTIES

4.1 Basic training or instruction in security awareness

4.1.1 Shore-based port facility personnel without designated security duties should be able

to demonstrate competence to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed in column

sufficient to enable the person to collectively contribute to the enhancement of maritime

security.

4.1.3 Persons who have satisfactorily completed an approved security awareness training

based on the knowledge, understanding and proficiency (KUP) set out in table 1, should be

considered to have met the requirements. Those completing such training should be provided

with documentary evidence to this effect to the satisfaction of the relevant SOLAS

Contracting Government or Designated Authority.

EN 14 EN

4.2 Security-related familiarization training

4.2.1 Before being assigned to their duties in the port facility, shore-based port facility

personnel without designated security duties should receive security-related familiarization

training to be able to:

.1 report a security incident;

.2 know the procedures to follow when they recognize a security threat also in

relation to dangerous goods in the meaning of the IMDG Code, as applicable;

and

.3 take part in security-related emergency and contingency procedures.

4.3 Standing vis-à-vis the requirements of the ISPS Code and the IMDG Code

4.3.1 Shore-based port facility personnel without designated security duties complying with

the requirements of paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 should be considered as having met the

requirements of ISPS Code, paragraph B/18.3 and IMDG Code, paragraph 1.4.1.5.

5 SHORE-BASED COMPANY PERSONNEL WITH DESIGNATED SECURITY DUTIES
