Safety Aspects of ISPS Code Onboard Practice

In the light of today’s global security challenges such as terrorist attacks, immigrant crises or piracy, this paper presents the results of a survey conducted on a sample of experienced maritime officers covering the use of ISPS Code on board. Research data was collected through questionnaires. The analysis of the collected data followed by subsequent discussions with the participants yielded surprising answers. The synthesis of those results suggests that the procedures implemented to increase the security aboard the ship could jeopardize the crew’s safety if implemented inadequately. In this case, the responsibility for the poor implementation is not always just on the crew, as the company should also be involved in checking and correction. Consequently, opinions and recommendations that can serve as an example of good practice are provided in the conclusion.
