Security Plans for Maritime Industry Participants
Security plans identify security measures to be implemented when different maritime security levels are in force. Under Australia's maritime transport and offshore facilities security regime, all security regulated ports, port facilities, offshore facilities, and ships undertake risk assessments and implement security plans to address identified risks. The Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003 requires certain industry operators and service providers to have security plans, and it is an offence to operate without one.
