Security Level 1

9.14. At security level 1, the SSP should establish the security measures to control access to the ship, where the following may be applied:

.1. checking the identity of all persons seeking to board the ship and confirming their reasons for doing so by checking, for example, joining
instructions, passenger tickets, boarding passes, work orders etc;

.2. in liaison with the port facility the ship should ensure that designated secure areas are established in which inspections and searching of persons,
baggage (including carry on items), personal effects, vehicles and their contents can take place;

.3. in liaison with the port facility the ship should ensure that vehicles destined to be loaded on board car carriers, ro-ro and other passenger ships are
subjected to search prior to loading, in accordance with the frequency required in the SSP;

.4. Segregating checked persons and their personal effects from unchecked persons and their personal effects;

.5. Segregating embarking from disembarking passengers;

.6. Identification of access points that should be secured or attended to prevent unauthorized access;

need for vigilance.

9.15. At security level 1, all those seeking to board a ship should be liable to search. The frequency of such searches, including random searches, should
be specified in the approved SSP and should be specifically approved by the Administration. Such searches may best be undertaken by the port facility
in close co-operation with the ship and in close proximity to it. Unless there are clear security grounds for doing so, members of the ship’s personnel
should not be required to search their colleagues or their personal effects. Any such search shall be undertaken in a manner which fully takes into
account the human rights of the individual and preserves their basic human dignity.

Security Level 2

higher vigilance and tighter control, which may include:

.1. Assigning additional personnel to patrol deck areas during silent hours to deter unauthorized access;

.2. Limiting the number of access points to the ship, identifying those to be closed and the means of adequately securing them;

.3. Deterring waterside access to the ship, including, for example, in liaison with the port facility, provision of boat patrols;

.4. Establishing a restricted area on the shore-side of the ship, in close co-operation with the port facility;

.5. Increasing the frequency and detail of searches of persons, personal effects, and vehicles being embarked or loaded onto the ship;

.6. Escorting visitors on the ship;

.7. providing additional specific security briefings to all ship personnel on any identified threats, re-emphasizing the procedures for reporting suspicious
persons, objects, or activities and the stressing the need for increased vigilance; and

.8. Carrying out a full or partial search of the ship.

Security Level 3

9.17. At security level 3, the ship should comply with the instructions issued by those responding to the security incident or threat thereof. The SSP
should detail the security measures which could be taken by the ship, in close co-operation with those responding and the port facility, which may
include:

.1. Limiting access to a single, controlled, access point;

.2. Granting access only to those responding to the security incident or threat thereof;

.3. Directions of persons on board;

.4. Suspension of embarkation or disembarkation;

.5. Suspension of cargo handling operations, deliveries etc;

.6. Evacuation of the ship;
