The second edition of Maritime Security: A Comprehensive Guide for Shipowners, Seafarers and Administrations addresses the shifting threats faced by the shipping industry today, from political instability and piracy to terrorism and cyber attacks. It equips readers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complex landscape of maritime security with confidence.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview on complying with SOLAS and International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code statutory requirements, offering guidance on managing and mitigating security threats.

With a model ship security plan, a sample two-year security drill schedule, templates for communication with seafarers? designated contacts, and resources for threat and risk assessments, this book is an invaluable tool for masters, company security officers, ship security officers, port facility security officers and administrations. It also serves as a useful entry point to the subject for anyone with an interest in maintaining the security of global trade.
