Lloyd’s MIU Handbook of Maritime Security |
|
The safety of ports, ships, cargo, and their personnel is of major importance to all nations. There is, however, little guidance to ensure their safety other than the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS). Using the ISPS as a foundation, Lloyd’s MIU Handbook of Maritime Security provides maritime managers with the best practices on risk assessments, security measures, security organization, personnel identification, ship safety, and ship security alert systems. This volume addresses safety concerns that pertain to all ship situations, locations, and facilities.
The book features contributions from ANCORS Staff. Read more here. |
