 About the security plan

- Now I have a few questions you must answer.
- All right go ahead.
- As an SSO what kind of training did you receive ?
- I was designated by the company to develop and maintain
the Ship security Plan. I attended a three month course. I
was taught how to implement and maintain the security
plan, how to correct deficiencies, how to ensure security
awareness and vigilance on board and within terminals,
and eventually, how to ensure adequate training provided
for all personnel responsible for security.
- All right. Do you have a security plan on board ?

practical, step-by-step approach.
- In which language is it written ?
- It is written in English.
- Who is allowed to consult it ?
- The Captain, the executive officer, and myself.
- Do you have a training and exercise record book ?
- Yes we do. I prepared a ship security assessment report and
the ship security plan is based upon the Ship Security
Assessment Report. And there is a 90-day implementation
period to train and drill the crew properly.

- What are the procedures of training, drill (repeated training)
associated with the plan ?
- All hands must be familiar with the Ship Security Plan,
security level requirements and emergency procedures.
They are trained to recognize and detect weapons,
dangerous substances; they are supposed to distinguish
characteristics and behavioural patterns of potential
terrorists. They are told about current security threats.

incendiary devices or explosives from being smuggled on
board ?
- The crew is trained for physical searches of people, personal
effects, baggage, cargo and ship stores.

- The only one we have is on the bridge. If someone presses
the button it warns the harbour authorities.

deactivation ?
