International Ship and Port Facility Security Code
The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) code is Chapter XI-2 of the International Convention of the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974.
Australia is a signatory to this Convention and we fulfil this international obligation through the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003 (MTOFSA) and the accompanying regulations.
The ISPS code provides an international framework for governments, shipping and port industries to detect, assess and prevent security threats and incidents affecting ships or port facilities involved in international trade.
