Security - ISPS

We comply with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements for the security of port facilities, ISPS (cf. SOLAS chapter XI-2, ISPS Code parts A and B, and the regulation on the security of port facilities). 

The West Harbor is a designated ISPS area, and additionally, we have the ability to establish four more areas as ISPS areas. 

Access to the West Harbor and Pier 11 is controlled by fencing, camera surveillance, and barrier systems. Only authorized persons may remain in the secured ISPS areas. Persons with valid access self-service via scanner or keyboard. 
Other guests, suppliers, etc. to moored vessels and to businesses at the port can gain access by contacting the port watch at Blåthavn.
