COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT
for the Council Shipping Working Party
IMO - European Union submission to be adopted by the Council on a proposal for a
submission for guidelines on security-related training and familiarization for shore-
based personnel for the 87th session of the Maritime Safety Committee (agenda item 4)
meeting in London from 12 May to 21 May 2010
1. PURPOSE
This document contains a draft submission at MSC 87 for the adoption of guidelines
on security-related training and familiarization for both shore-based company
personnel, as defined in SOLAS regulations IX/1 and XI-2/1, and port facility
personnel, other than Company Security Officer, Port Facility Security Officer and
their deputies.
2. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
2.1 Considering the need to enhance maritime security and encourage consistent and
harmonized implementation of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code, the
Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) approved the following IMO circulars:
MSC/Circ.1154 on Guidelines on training and certification for Company security
officers (80th session – May 2005), MSC.1/Circ.1188 on Guidelines on training and
certification for port facility security officers (81st session – May 2006) and
MSC.1/Circ.1235 on Guidelines on security-related training and familiarization for
shipboard personnel (83rd
session – October 2007).
2.2. In order to achieve a comprehensive training framework on maritime security, the
training and familiarization requirements for other shore-based personnel should be
foreseen.
2.3 The proposed text contains the draft Guidelines on security-related training and
familiarization for shore-based company and port facility personnel which has been
drafted taking into account both the format and the language used in the agreed MSC
circulars with regard to company security officer, port facility security officer and
shipboard personnel other than ship security officer.
2.4. The draft Guidelines addresses alternative methods for demonstrating competency
and in appendix, it also contains three tables identifying relevant knowledge,
understanding and proficiencies (KUPs) for the three categories of personnel:
– Port facility personnel without designated security duties;
– Company personnel with designated security duties;
– Port facility security personnel with designated security duties.
EN 3 EN
2.5. The draft submission and the draft MSC Circular have already been proposed to the
scrutiny of the Committee established pursuant to the article 11 of Regulation (EC)
No 725/2004 on enhancing ship and port facility security during its 31st meeting on
18th December 2009 and they have received support from delegations who expressed
themselves.
3. EUROPEAN UNION COMPETENCE
Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 transposes SOLAS Chapter XI/2 and the ISPS Code
into the EU legislation. Therefore any proposal related to those international
instruments notably in the IMO framework falls under EU competence.
4. ACTION REQUESTED
The Council Shipping Working Party is invited to consider a European Union
submission on this matter, to be potentially supported by Norway and by Iceland,
with a view to propose, at the forthcoming MSC 87 meeting, guidelines on security-
related training and familiarization for shore-based personnel, and suggest that the
Maritime Safety Committee elaborates and approves a MSC Circular recommending
such guidelines on security-related training and familiarization for shore-based
personnel.

SUMMARY
Executive summary:
This document proposes the adoption of guidelines on security-related
training and familiarization training for both shore-based Company
Personnel, as defined in SOLAS regulations IX/1 and XI-2/1, and
port facility personnel. It also aims to highlight the opportunity to
amend paragraph B/18.1 of the International Ship and Port Facility
Security (ISPS) Code in order to solve the inconsistency with section
A/18.1 of the code as well as the opportunity to align guidances on
security-related training and familiarization set out in relevant MSC
resolutions and circulars with the recommendations of the
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

Introduction
1 The ISPS Code establishes the general requirements for security-related training of
shipboard and shore-based personnel. These training requirements are identified in part A of
the ISPS Code, namely:
.1 Company security officer and appropriate shore-based Company personnel,
section A/13.1;
.2 ship security officer, section A/13.2;
.3 shipboard personnel having specific security duties and responsibilities, section
A/13.3;
.4 port facility security officer and appropriate port facility security personnel,
section A/18.1; and
.5 port facility personnel having specific security duties, section A/18.2.
2 Paragraph B/18.3 of the ISPS Code provides general guidance on knowledge and
familiarization on security-related matters for all other port facility personnel.
3 In order to better define the requirements contained in the ISPS Code, part A on
training, knowledge and ability of shipboard and shore-based personnel, the guidance given in
part B of the code is to be taken into account. In fact, training requirements should be
identified by both combining the relevant sections and the connected paragraphs of the ISPS
Code. This is the case for all the above mentioned personnel with the exception of the
appropiate port facility security personnel. Pursuant to section A/18.1 of the ISPS Code both
the port facility security officer and appropriate port facility security personnel shall have
knowledge and have received training, taking into account the guidance given in part B of the
code, whereas paragraph B/18.1 of the ISPS Code only addresses the training of the port
facility security officer. Therefore, an alignment of the existing text of paragraph B/18.1 with
that of section A/18.1 of the ISPS Code should be sought in order to achieve consistency.
4 In September 2003 the IMO Model courses 3.19, 3.20 and 3.21 for ship, Company
and port facility security officer respectively have been published. The co-sponsors of this
document believe that these publications might be updated in order to take into consideration
the recommendation set out in IMDG Code, section 1.4.1 which aims to address the security
of ships, port facilities and personnel dealing with transport by sea of dangerous goods, and
asks for a security awareness, related to those goods, commensurate with the detailed
personnel responsibilities.
EN 6 EN
5 The Maritime Safety Committee (the Committee), at its seventy-eighth session (May
2004) approved Resolution MSC.157(78) on the adoption of amendments for security
provisions in the IMDG Code.
6 The Committee, at its 78th session, also approved the publication of the ILO/IMO
Code of practice on security in ports.
7 The Committee, at its 80th session (May 2005) approved MSC/Circ.1154 on
Guidance on training and certification for Company security officers. The co-sponsors of this
document believe that the knowledge, understanding and proficiencies (KUPs) relevant to the
Company security officer as set in the annex to MSC/Circ.1154 might take into account the
recommendation set out in paragraph 1.4.1.4 of the IMDG Code.
8 The Committee, at its 81st session (May 2006) approved Resolution MSC.203(81) on
adoption of amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention), Resolution MSC.209(81)
on adoption of amendments to the Seafarers' Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code
(STCW Code), STCW.6/Circ.9 on amendments to part B of the STCW Code, and
MSC.1/Circ.1188 on Guidelines on training and certification for port facility security officers.
The co-sponsors of this document believe that:
.1 specifications of minimum standards of proficiency for ship security officers
set out in table A-VI/5 of part A of the STWC Convention as listed in annex to Resolution
MSC.209(81), might take into account the recommendation set out in paragaph 1.4.1.5 of the
IMDG Code;
.2 the knowledge, understanding and proficiencies (KUPs) relevant to the port
facility security officer as provided in the annex to MSC.1/Circ.1188 might take into
consideration the recommendation set out in paragraph 1.4.1.4 of the IMDG Code.
9 The Committee, at its 83rd
session (October 2007) adopted MSC.1/Circ.1235
containing Guidance on security-related training and familiarization for shipboard personnel
in order to enhance maritime security and encourage a consistent and harmonized
implementation of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code . The co-sponsors of this
document believe that the knowledge, understanding and proficiencies (KUPs) relevant to
security awareness and shipboard personnel with designated security duties as set in Tables 1
and 2 of the annex to MSC.1/Circ.1235, might take into account the recommendations set out
in paragraphs 1.4.1.3 and 1.4.1.5 of the IMDG Code.
10 Given that no difficulties with regard to the implementation of MSC.1/Circ.1235
have been brought to the attention of the Committee, the co-sponsors of this document believe
that a three-tiered approach to the training and familiarization requirements for other shore-
based personnel should be foreseen as well, namely for:
EN 7 EN
.1 appropriate shore-based company personnel (ISPS Code, section A/13.1 and
paragraph B/13.1);
.2 appropriate port facility security personnel (ISPS Code, section A/18.1);
.3 port facility personnel having specific security duties (ISPS Code, section
A/18.2 and paragraph B/18.2); and
.4 other port facility personnel (ISPS Code, paragraph B/18.3).
11 The co-sponsors consider that requiring Company and port facility shore-based
personnel to undertake basic security-related training and familiarization, whichever is
applicable, is prudent, and that it also contributes towards the enhancement of security and
provides such personnel with better opportunities for career development. This proposal for
enhanced awareness and training in broad terms should consist of:
.1 basic training or instruction on security awareness and security-related
familiarization for shore-based port facility personnel without designated security duties;
.2 training or instruction on relevant security duties and security-related
familiarization for shore-based Company personnel with designated security duties; and
.3 training or instruction on relevant security duties and security-related
familiarization for shore-based port facility personnel with designated security duties.
Proposals
12 Although the co-sponsors of this document consider that:
.1 it is worth solving the inconsistency highlighted in paragraph 3, related to the
missing reference to appropriate port facility security personnel in the text of paragraph
B/18.1 of the ISPS Code;
.2 it could be worth aligning relevant MSC resolution, circulars and model
courses as identified in paragraphs 4, 7, 8 and 9 with the recommendations provided for in
IMDG Code, section 1.4.1;
they understand that an amendment to ISPS Code, part B and other relevant IMO instruments
as mentioned above could take place at a later stage and more suitable time. Nevertheless,
they consider it is worth having a first exchange of views on these subjects during MSC 87.
EN 8 EN
13 The co-sponsors of this submission, which aims to promote better defined standards
of competency and security-related familiarization training for shore-based personnel with
and without designated security duties, propose a draft MSC.1 circular on security-related
training and familiarization training for shore-based personnel, beyond Company security
officer and port facility security officer, as set out in annex to this document.
Action requested of the Committee
14 The Committee is invited to consider the proposals in paragraphs 12 and 13, and
decide as it deems appropriate.

GUIDELINES ON SECURITY-RELATED TRAINING AND FAMILIARIZATION
FOR SHORE-BASED COMPANY AND PORT FACILITY PERSONNEL
1 The Maritime Safety Committee (the Committee), at its eighty-seventh session (12-21
May 2010) recalled that the 2002 SOLAS Conference through its Resolution 2 adopted the
International Code for the Security of Ships and Port Facilities (International Ship and Port
Facility Security (ISPS) Code), hereinafter referred to as "the ISPS Code", which has become
mandatory under chapter XI-2 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea
(SOLAS), 1974.
2 The Committee also recalled that the International Labour Organization (ILO)
Governing Body, at its 289th session (March 2004), and the Committee, at its 78
th session
(May 2004), approved the publication of the ILO/IMO Code of practice on security in ports
(COP).
3 The Committee moreover recalled Resolution MSC.157(78) on adoption of
amendments to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.
4 The Committee furthermore recalled the adoption of Resolution MSC.203(81) on
adoption of amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention), Resolution MSC.209(81)
on adoption of amendments to the Seafarers' Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code
(STCW Code) and STCW.6/Circ.9 on amendments to part B of the STCW Code.
5 The Committee took into consideration MSC/Circ.1154 on Guidelines on training and
certification for Company security officers, MSC.1/Circ.1188 on Guidelines on training and
certification for port facility security officers and MSC.1/Circ.1235 on Guidelines on security-
related training and familiarization for shipboard personnel.
EN 10 EN
6 The Committee also considered the need to enhance maritime security and encourage
consistent and harmonized implementation of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code vis-à-
vis the provisions of the ILO/IMO COP and the IMDG Code and took into consideration the
document MSC 87/4/.. submitted by Austria et alter on proposed Guidelines on security-
related training and familiarization for shore-based Company and port facility personnel
without and with designated security duties.
7 As a result the Committee approved Guidance on security-related training and
familiarization training for Company and port facility shore-based personnel (the Guidance),
as set out in annex.
8 The Committee agreed that the sole purpose of the Guidance was to assist SOLAS
Contracting Governments and Designated Authorities in the implementation of the relevant
provisions of :
.1 ISPS Code, sections A/13.1, A/18.1 and A/18/2, and paragraphs B/13.1, B/18.2
and B/18.3;
.2 ILO-IMO Code of practice on security in ports, chapter 10; and
.3 IMDG Code, section 1.4.1.
9 SOLAS Contracting Governments are invited to bring the Guidance to the attention of
all parties concerned with the matter addressed therein.
10 SOLAS Contracting Governments, international organizations and non-governmental
organizations with consultative status which encounter difficulties with the implementation of
the Guidance should bring, at the earliest opportunity, the matter to the attention of the
Committee for consideration of the issues involved and decision on the action to be taken.

ANNEX
GUIDELINES ON SECURITY-RELATED TRAINING AND
FAMILIARIZATION FOR SHORE-BASED PERSONNEL
1 APPLICATION
1.1 The present Guidance applies to shore-based personnel, other than Company security
officer, port facility security officer and those listed in the following paragraphs 1.1.1 and
1.1.2, employed by a Company as defined in SOLAS regulation XI-2/1.1.7 or employed in a
port facility as defined in SOLAS regulation XI-2/1.1.9 which are required to comply with the
provision of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code.
1.1.1 Appropriate persons appointed to act on behalf of the Company security officer should
have received training in accordance with section A/13.1 and paragraph B/13.1 of the ISPS
Code, MSC/Circ.1154 on 23 May 2005 and paragraph 1.4.1.4 of the IMDG Code.
1.1.2 Appropriate persons appointed to act on behalf of the port facility security officer
should have received training in accordance with section A/18.1 of the ISPS Code,
MSC.1/Circ1188 on 22 May 2006 and paragraph 1.4.1.4 of the IMDG Code.
1.2 The term "shore-based personnel" means:
.1 Any other persons employed or engaged by the Company having specific
security duty and responsibility or capacity on the security of ships managed
by the Company as well as those persons which are responsible for appointing
the members of the crew or other persons employed on board ship in any
capacity on the business of the concerned ship and those who are responsible
for deciding the employment of the ship; and
.2 Any persons employed or engaged by the port facility having specific security
duties and all other port facility personnel as well as any persons working in
the port facility whom the port facility security plan requires for training or
instruction and familiarization training.
EN 12 EN
2 GENERAL PRINCIPLES
2.1 Shore-based personnel are not security experts and it is not the aim of the provisions
of the Guidance to convert them into security specialists.
2.2 Shore-based personnel should receive adequate security-related training or instruction
and familiarization training so as to acquire the required knowledge and understanding to
perform their assigned duties or perform their jobs and to contribute collectively to the
enhancement of maritime security.
2.3 Shore-based personnel should receive adequate security-related training or instruction
at least one time in their career.
2.4 The security-related familiarization training should be conducted by the Company
security officer and the port facility security officer or by an equally qualified person for
Company and port facility personnel respectively.
3 TERMINOLOGY
3.1 ISPS Code, section A/13.1 and paragraph B/13.1, make reference to "appropriate
shore-based personnel". ISPS Code, paragraph B/6, provides for general obligations of the
Company and clarified that "the Company security officer need not necessarily undertake all
the duties associated with the post".
3.2 ISPS Code, section A/16.3.6, states that the port facility security plan shell address the
"duties of port facility personnel … on security aspects". ISPS Code, section A/18.2 and
paragraph B/18.2, make reference to "port facility personnel having specific duties" and ISPS
Code, paragraph B/18.3, makes reference, in relation to ISPS Code, paragraph B/18.2, to "all
other port facility personnel".
3.3 IMO-ILO COP, paragraph 10.1, states that "appropriate training of personnel working
in the port should maximize personal awareness and … additional or special training may be
required for people in particular roles".
3.4 IMDG Code, paragraph 1.4.1.3, states that "any shore-based Company personnel, ship
based personnel and port facility personnel engaged in the transport of dangerous goods
should be aware of the security requirements for such goods, in addition to those specified in
the ISPS Code, and commensurate with their responsibilities". Moreover, IMDG Code,
paragraph 1.4.1.4, states, inter alia, that "the training of shore-based company personnel
having specific security duties and port facility personnel having specific duties, engaged in
the transport of dangerous goods, should also include elements of security awareness related
to those goods".
EN 13 EN
3.5 As a result this Guidance uses the following expressions:
.1 shore-based Company personnel "with designated security duties" to denote
those having security duties and responsibilities and identified in paragraph
1.2.1;
.2 shore-based port facility personnel "with designated security duties" to denote
those having specific security duties and responsibilities in accordance with the
port facility security plan; and
.3 shore-based port facility personnel "without designated security duties" is used
to denote all other shore-based port facility personnel.
