ISPS

ISPS is an abbreviation for International Ship and Port Facility Security Code. It is a set of regulations intended to increase sea security at ports and onboard ships. The body behind the code is IMO (International Maritime Organization), ruled by the United Nations. The international ISPS code came into force on 1 July 2004. For Wasaline and its customers this means that:

– Harbour areas are surrounded by a fence.

– All units must be booked in advance to guarantee entry to the harbour area.

– A list of goods, with separate itemisations of dangerous goods, must be presented for all units.

– Spending the night inside the fenced area is forbidden.

– Random checks can be made on the contents of all cargo units entering the area.

The ISPS code defines so-called security levels. They vary according to the situation and any perceived threats. The security levels are set by each country’s police authorities, and they may vary from port to port.

SECURITY LEVEL 1 (NORMAL SITUATION)

SECURITY LEVEL 1 (NORMAL SITUATION)

Security Level 1 is defined in the ISPS code as the default or normal state. At this level, a list of goods refers to a transport document that specifies the consigner, consignee, total weight and classification of the shipped goods.

TRUCKS AND VEHICLES ACCOMPANIED BY DRIVER

All units must be booked in advance before they have a right to be transferred into the fenced harbour area (ISPS area). This means that all waiting vehicles must either be booked at the check-in or they must wait outside the harbour area. The driver must present a list of goods at the check-in.

When the cargo contains dangerous goods, the transport documents must follow the IMDG/ADR regulations, valid at the time. At the destination harbour, the unit must leave the harbour area (ISPS area) immediately.

GOODS (TRAILERS, PAPER CASSETTES, CONTAINERS, BOATS, PALLETS)

All units must be booked in advance. An unbooked unit arriving at the harbour during the day must be booked before entry to the harbour area (ISPS area). Wasaline must be presented a cargo document, fulfilling the regulations valid at the time, on any dangerous goods. After depositing the cargo unit for shipping, the traction truck driver must leave the harbour area.

GENERAL CARGO

General cargo can be shipped only by separate agreement. While depositing the goods, the consigner must present a detailed list of goods and fill in a delivery note. All general cargo shipments will be given a visual check. 

Security Level 2

Security Level 2 indicates raised readiness in the ISPS area. At this level, by a detailed list of goods we mean a transport document that specifies the consigner, consignee, total weight and type of the goods, as well as the number of cargo packages. By a transport worker’s identification card we mean an ID card that proves the driver’s identity and indicates the transport company he/she is representing.

In addition to the regulations specified for Security Level 1, the following requirements are in force:

TRUCKS AND VEHICLES ACCOMPANIED BY DRIVER

Units must arrive at the harbour at least 2 hours before the vessel’s departure time. The driver and any assistant driver must prove his/her identity by presenting the transport worker’s ID card. At the check-in, the driver must present a detailed list of goods of the cargo.

GOODS TO BE HANDLED (E.G. TRAILERS, CONTAINERS, BOATS, CASSETTES)

Units must arrive at the harbour at least 2 hours before the vessel’s departure time. In these cases, the traction truck driver must prove his/her identity and present a detailed list of goods, as well as a document, fulfilling the regulations valid at the time, on any dangerous goods. 

Security Level 3 i

Security Level 3 indicates the highest level of readiness in the ISPS code. This level will come into force for example at the threat of an immediate bomb attack or other dangerous situation. At this level, goods will be handled according to the authorities’ orders.

INSPECTION OF CARGO

The ISPS code requires that when Security Level 1 is in force, random checks will be made on the cargo and transport equipment. Checks will be made more frequently when Security Level 2 is in force. All those who are entering the ISPS area and who intend to travel onboard a Wasaline vessel shall be conscious of these requirements. Refusal to be inspected means a waiver of a right to travel with Wasaline. These inspections will be conducted in cooperation with relevant authorities.
