Ships and marine technology — Maritime port facility security assessments and security plan development

ISO 20858:2007 establishes a framework to assist marine port facilities in specifying the competence of personnel to conduct a marine port facility security assessment and to develop a security plan as required by the ISPS Code International Standard, conducting the marine port facility security assessment, and drafting/implementing a Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP). In addition, ISO 20858:2007 establishes certain documentation requirements designed to ensure that the process used in performing the duties described above was recorded in a manner that would permit independent verification by a qualified and authorized agency (if the port facility has agreed to the review). It is not an objective of ISO 20858:2007 to set requirements for a contracting government or designated authority in designating a Recognized Security Organization (RSO), or to impose the use of an outside service provider or other third parties to perform the marine port facility security assessment or security plan if the port facility personnel possess the expertise outlined in this specification. Ship operators may be informed that marine port facilities that use this document meet an industry-determined level of compliance with the ISPS Code. Port infrastructure that falls outside the security perimeter of a marine port facility might affect the security of the facility/ship interface. ISO 20858:2007 does not address the requirements of the ISPS Code relative to such infrastructures. State governments have a duty to protect their populations and infrastructures from marine incidents occurring outside their marine port facilities. These duties are outside the scope of ISO 20858:2007.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 20858 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology.
This first edition of ISO 20858 cancels and replaces ISO/PAS 20858:2004, which has been technically revised.

Introduction
This International Standard addresses the execution of marine port facility security assessments, marine port
facility security plans (including countermeasures) and the skills and knowledge required of the personnel
involved. This International Standard is designed to ensure that the completed work meets the requirements
of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) International Ships and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS)
and the appropriate maritime security practices that can be verified by an outside auditor. Since other ISO
standards may address non-marine port facilities the word “marine” usually appears before port facilities in
this standard. This standard is intended to address port facilities as defined in the ISPS.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 20858:2007(E)

Ships and marine technology — Maritime port facility security
assessments and security plan development
1 Scope
1.1 General
This International Standard establishes a framework to assist marine port facilities in specifying the
competence of personnel to conduct a marine port facility security assessment and to develop a security plan
as required by the ISPS Code International Standard, conducting the marine port facility security assessment,
and drafting/implementing a Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP).
In addition, this International Standard establishes certain documentation requirements designed to ensure
that the process used in performing the duties described above was recorded in a manner that would permit
independent verification by a qualified and authorized agency (if the port facility has agreed to the review). It is
not an objective of this International Standard to set requirements for a contracting government or designated
authority in designating a Recognized Security Organization (RSO), or to impose the use of an outside service
provider or other third parties to perform the marine port facility security assessment or security plan if the port
facility personnel possess the expertise outlined in this specification. Ship operators may be informed that
marine port facilities that use this document meet an industry-determined level of compliance with the ISPS
Code.
Port infrastructure that falls outside the security perimeter of a marine port facility might affect the security of
the facility/ship interface. This International Standard does not address the requirements of the ISPS Code
relative to such infrastructures. State governments have a duty to protect their populations and infrastructures
from marine incidents occurring outside their marine port facilities. These duties are outside the scope of this
International Standard.
1.2 Conformance
While compliance with the ISPS Code is internationally mandated for all signatory countries, the use of this
International Standard is voluntary. If a contracting government establishes requirements that preclude the
use of this International Standard, local law takes precedence and compliance with this International Standard
should not be claimed.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
cargo
items that are placed on the ship to be transported to another port, such as boxes, pallets, cargo transport
units, and bulk liquid and non-liquid matter
2.2
consequence
loss of life, damage to property or economic disruption, including disruption to transport systems that can
reasonably be expected as a result of an attack on or at the marine port facility

2.3
International Maritime Organization
IMO
specialized agency of the United Nations whose purpose is “to provide machinery for cooperation among
governments in the field of governmental regulation and practices relating to technical matters of all kinds
affecting shipping engaged in international trade; to encourage and facilitate the general adoption of the
highest practicable standards in matters concerning maritime safety, efficiency of navigation, and prevention
and control of marine pollution from ships”
2.4
ISPS Code
international code for the security of ships and port facilities consisting of Part A (the provisions of which shall
be treated as mandatory), and Part B (the provisions of which shall be treated as recommendatory), as
adopted on 12 December 2002 by Resolution 2 of the Conference of Contracting Governments to the
International Convention for the Safety at Sea, 1974, as may be amended by the Organization
2.5
likelihood
probability of a threat scenario becoming a security incident, considering the resistance the physical and
operational security measures in place at the marine port facility
2.6
management system
organization’s structure for managing its processes or activities that transform inputs of resources into a
product or service, which meet the organization’s objectives
NOTE It is not the intent of this document to specify a specific management system or require the creation of a
separate security management system. ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental
Management Systems), ISO 28000 (Supply Chain Security Management Systems) and the International Maritime
Organization’s International Safety Management (ISM) Code are examples of management systems.
2.7
marine port facility
those areas of the port and harbour where the ship/port interface takes place
NOTE The ship/port interface means the interactions that occur when a ship is directly and immediately affected by
actions involving the movement of persons and/or goods, or the provisions of port services to and from the ship. This
includes areas such as anchorages, waiting berths, and approaches from seaward. The marine port facility extends
landside to the security perimeter. Note that, for the purposes of this International Standard, there can be more than one
marine port facility in a harbour. In that case, only the anchorages, waiting berths, and approaches from seaward that are
used to service the marine port facility using this document are included. There can be areas of ports and harbours that
are addressed in the ISPS Code, but that are not addressed in this International Standard.
2.8
Port Facility Security Plan
PFSP
plan to ensure the application of measures designed to protect the people, port facility, ships, cargo, cargo
transport units, and ship stores within the port facility from the risks of a security incident

2.15
target
personnel, ships, cargo, physical assets, and control/documentation systems within a marine port facility
2.16
security threat scenario
means by which a potential security incident might occur
NOTE Because attack methods are nearly infinite, several general postulated security threat scenarios are specified
to address the full range of attack scenarios. Local authorities, port facility management and personnel conducting the
security assessment could add more specific security threat scenarios to the list of general security threat scenarios,
depending on local circumstances.
3 Performance of the security assessment
3.1 Overview of the security assessment
The port facility implementing this International Standard shall conduct a security assessment or draw upon
existing security assessments that are valid, documented and meet the requirements of this International
Standard. The assessment shall consider security threat scenarios, consequences of a successful attack on
the port facility, and the likelihood of each security threat scenario being successful given the security
measures in place. Based on these considerations, a determination shall be made if additional security
countermeasures are required.
NOTE The authorized maritime security group convened to compose the PFSA needs to be collectively
knowledgeable in port/facility operations, security and the potential security threats that could occur at the specific site.
From their experience and training, they review current conditions (using a provided Performance Review) and produce a
realistic list of security threat scenarios that could adversely affect the facility. These potential security incidents are
thoroughly studied, and then charted with regard to the likelihood of an occurrence and subsequent consequences, if it
occurs. The resultant security risk chart for each of these incidents indicates which are of such gravity as to need effective
human and/or physical countermeasures. The formulating team will increasingly apply these countermeasures until the
identified risk is reduced to an acceptable level (meeting with the approval of the contracting government).
At this stage, the PFSA evolves into the PFSP. The aforementioned process is dealt with in more detail within this
document, and forms the route toward a site-specific facility plan. Although basically stated, nothing here is intended to
oversimplify the effort needed to construct a comprehensive quality plan. The above sequence will establish a plan for
effective security for the standard Security Level 1, following which the group will reapply the countermeasures required
for the higher Security Levels 2 and 3, as described herein. The contracting government reviews and approves the
prepared plan for submission to the IMO.

3.2 Personnel conducting the security assessment
Those involved in a Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA) shall be able to draw upon expert assistance
relative to:
⎯ knowledge of current security threats and patterns;
⎯ recognition and detection of weapons, dangerous substances, and devices;
⎯ recognition, on a non-discriminatory basis, of characteristics and behavioural patterns of persons who are
likely to threaten security;
⎯ techniques used to circumvent security measures;
⎯ methods used to cause a security incident;
⎯ effects of explosives on structures and port facility services;
⎯ port business practices;
⎯ contingency planning, emergency preparedness, and response;
⎯ physical security measures (e.g. fences);
⎯ radio and telecommunications systems, including computer systems and networks;
⎯ transport and civil engineering;
⎯ ship and port operations;
⎯ maintenance of appropriate measures to avoid unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, sensitive security
material;
⎯ knowledge of the requirements in Chapter XI-2 and part A of the ISPS Code and relevant national and
international legislation and security requirements;
⎯ knowledge of security and surveillance equipment and systems, as well as their operational limitations.
All personnel involved in a PFSA, including those called on to provide the expertise listed above, shall be
listed in the Port Facility Security Assessment Report as specified in 6.2.
4 Security assessment procedures
4.1 General
A security assessment provides the basis for developing the Marine Port Facility Security Plan. The
methodology used in the assessment is not specified in this International Standard. However, the
methodology used in the assessment shall meet the requirements of this International Standard.
4.2 Scope of the security assessment
The scope of the assessment extends to those port facilities and port infrastructures that could be threatened
or be used to threaten maritime trade.
The port facility security assessment shall include, as a minimum, all areas
⎯ where port facility/ship operations are conducted within the port facility,
4 © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 20858:2007(E)
⎯ where cargo is staged, stowed or handled before/following marine transportation within the port facility,
⎯ where cargo documentation for marine transportation is handled/accessible within the port facility,
⎯ attached to the port facility without an intervening security perimeter, and
⎯ including ship channels used to approach the port facility.
4.3 Current status of security at the port facility
The person(s) conducting the security assessment shall review all current security operations and emergency
plans used by the port facility. All reviewed plans shall be listed. The person(s) conducting the security
assessment shall, in addition, conduct an on-site review of the port facility and surrounding vicinity. As a
minimum, the person(s) conducting the security assessment should examine and document items in the
following performance review list during the port facility security assessment.
This performance review list is not exhaustive. Some items on the list are not applicable to certain port
facilities and a negative indication concerning any specific factor does not mean that security is inadequate.
The performance review list is a generalized method for assessing the current status of a port facility’s
security; it is not intended to set security requirements.
A copy of the completed performance review list shall be included in the assessment report.
In Table 1, if the factor indicated is in effect at the port facility, the “yes” block should be checked. If the factor
is not in effect, the “no” block should be checked. If the factor is not applicable, put “NA” in the “Comments”
column (additional comment pages may be added as needed).
