What additional/specific security measures and actions would be required at local/regional level to further raise the defence against threats?
All appropriate measures should be taken in accordance with the perceived local needs. Some examples might include regular and intensive patrolling at the local level in identified vulnerable sea/port areas. In addition, joint patrolling and exchange of real time intelligence and threat perception among countries at a regional level would have a meaningful impact in preventing incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships. For measures to be applied for container security, it is important to put in place the necessary measures for shippers and container packers to secure the “real content” of containers. This area is beyond the scope of IMO and necessary measures have been under consideration at the World Customs Organization (WCO).
