ISPS Code General

The code was adopted by IMO 12 December 2002 as a direct result of the terrorist attacks against the United States on 11 December 2001

The regula­tions require prepar­edness and measures on ships in intern­ational trade and to port facilities serving these ships, with the aim of preventing criminal acts

The purpose of the Code is to establish an intern­ational framework involving cooper­ation between Contra­cting States, superiors and local author­ities, ships in intern­ational traffic and ports serving ship in such a speed, thereby to prevent terrorist acts, piracy and similar impact against the ship

NMD has chosen to designate the recognized class instit­utions (through a separate class arrang­ement) to perform work on board the Norwegian flagged vessels RSO on behalf of the author­ities

Ships that have ISSC issued by an RSO, will mainly relate to this in all matters directly related to this certif­icate or ISPS code
