Global terrorism is now recognized as a threat to the international shipping industry. Professional security management practices are considered to be essential if exposure to risks from terrorism, piracy, smuggling, theft, stowaway and other criminal activities are to be reduced. Archipelago Manning Management S.A. has developed a comprehensive range of ship security services designed to assist ship owners, managers and operators meet the ISPS Code Requirements including:

• Development of the Ship Security Plan.
• Undertaking the Ship Security Assessment.
• Security Training, Drills, and Exercises.
• Ship Security Audits.

Effective implementation of the ISM Code should lead to a move away from a culture of ‘unthinking’ compliance with external rules towards a culture of ‘thinking’ self-regulation of safety – the development of a ‘safety culture’, with every individual – from the top to the bottom – feeling responsible for actions taken to improve safety and performance. Application of the ISM Code should support and encourage the development of a safety culture in shipping.
