The maritime transport and offshore facilities security legislation requires port operators, port facility operators, port service providers, offshore facility operators and ship operators of Australian registered ships to identify their own risk contexts or threat situations when completing a security assessment. Ship operators also need to consider the trading routes of their ships when determining risk contexts for their own ship operations.
