\n

the measures and procedures of the facility<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Implementation<\/h3>\n

Who it is for<\/p>\n

Who it is for<\/h2>\n

For those who are to take on the duties of PFSO or deputy PFSO<\/strong>, as well as security managers of ports and shipping companies.<\/p>\n

\n

Please note:<\/strong> under Greek law, the duties of a PFSO require, in addition to knowledge of the ISPS Code, a higher education degree and experience in the security of commercial port facilities or merchant ships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The framework<\/p>\n

Why it is needed<\/h2>\n

In 2002 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) amended the SOLAS Convention and adopted the ISPS Code<\/strong> for the security of ships and port facilities. In the EU it is applied through Regulation (EC) 725\/2004 and Directive 2005\/65\/EC.<\/p>\n

Every port facility covered by the Code needs a security assessment, a security plan and a security officer<\/strong> with the required knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
