Security - ISPS

We meet the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) requirements for the security of port facilities, ISPS (ref. SOLAS chapter XI-2, ISPS code parts A and B, and the regulations on the security of port facilities). 

The Outer Harbor is a designated ISPS area, and in addition, we have the option to establish an additional four areas as ISPS areas. 

Access to the Outer Harbor and Pier 11 is controlled by fencing, video surveillance, and barriers. Only authorized individuals may stay in the secured ISPS areas. Individuals with valid access operate themselves via scanner or keyboard. 
Other guests, suppliers, etc. to calling vessels and to businesses at the port can gain access by contacting the port guard at the Blue Tower.
