- The certificate is issued by the Flag state authority.
Security Levels
- Security Level 1 (Normal Risk): Minimum security measures are maintained at all times.
- Security Level 2 (Increasing Risks): Additional security measures are maintained due to heightened security risks.
- Security Level 3 (Incident Imminent): Further specific security measures are maintained for a brief period during a security incident.
Key Components of Ship Security
- Automatic Identification System (AIS): Transmits and receives ship information.
- Ship Security Alert System: Enables ships to alert onshore authorities for assistance.
- Continuous Synopsis Record (CSR): Provides onboard records of vessel history (flag, registration date, ID, port, owner).
- Ship Security Assessment: Risk-based analysis of security hazards for ships.
