The following definition of piracy is
contained in the text of Article 101 of the
United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982:
• Piracy and armed robbery:
Duties

"Piracy consists of any of the following acts:
a) Any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any
act of depredation, committed for purpose staff
by the crew or the passengers of a private ship
or a private aircraft, and directed:

Duties

The sub-regional meeting on piracy and armed
robbery against ships perpetrated in Western Indian
Ocean, Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea area, held in Dar
es Salaam (Republic United Republic of Tanzania)
from 14 to 18 April 2008, resolved to amend this
definition.
Duties

Consistent with regard to the provisions of
ReCAAP, has added the reason for "private
purposes" in the definition. Formula "Within the
internal waters, archipelagic waters and territorial
sea" replaced "within the jurisdiction of a state.
Duties

The new formula reflects the views of France,
supported by other participating States meeting
that the definition of armed robberies perpetrated
against ships should not be applicable to acts
committed beyond the territorial sea.
Duties

Resolution A.1025(26) (Annex, paragraph 2.2)
on IMO's Code of Practice for the Investigation of
the Crimes of Piracy and Armed Robbery Against
Ships, determines that armed robbery against
ships consists of any of the following acts:
Duties

(a) any illegal act of violence or detention
or any act of depredation, or threat thereof,
other than an act of piracy, committed for
private ends and directed against a ship or

ship, within a State's internal waters,
archipelagic waters and territorial sea;
Duties

(b) any act of inciting or of intentionally
facilitating an act described above."
Duties

For additional information and the United
Nation's definitions of internal waters, archipelagic
waters and territorial sea, please refer to UNCLOS,
Part II: Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone.
Duties

IMO Piracy reports
IMO issues incident reports on piracy and armed
robbery against ships using data submitted by
Member Governments and appropriate
international organizations, with the first reports
being published in 1982.
Duties

Since July 2002, IMO's monthly and annual
piracy and armed robbery reports classify
separately any reported acts or attempted acts of
piracy (international waters) and armed robbery
against ships (territorial waters).
Duties

The reports, which include among other things,
the names and a description of ships attacked,
position and date/time of incidents, consequences
to the crew, ship or cargo, and actions taken by the
crew and coastal authorities, are circulated monthly,
followed by a comprehensive annual report,
published at the beginning of the second quarter of
the subsequent year.
Duties

Additional information regarding acts of
piracy and armed robbery against ships is
publicly available (subject to registration) in IMO's
Piracy and Armed Robbery module within the
Organization's Global Integrated Shipping
Information System (GISIS).
Duties

Regional cooperation
Regional cooperation among States has an
important role to play in solving the problem of
piracy and armed robbery against ships, as
evidenced by the success of the regional anti-
piracy and armed robbery agreement and related
operations in the Straits of Malacca and
Singapore, to which IMO provided and continues
to provide assistance, throughout the
development and implementation processes.
Duties

The Regional Cooperation Agreement on
Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against ships
in Asia (RECAAP), which was concluded in November
2004 by 16 countries in Asia, entered into force in
September 2006 and encompasses.
Duties

The RECAAP Information Sharing Centre (ISC) for
facilitating the sharing of piracy and armed robbery
related information, is a good model of a cohesive
and successful regional cooperation structure,
which IMO seeks to replicate elsewhere around the
World.
Duties

In recent years, particular focus has been
placed on piracy and armed robbery at sea in the
Gulf of Aden and the wider Western Indian Ocean,
as well as on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa.
While progress has been made recently in those
regions to eradicate piracy,.
Duties

armed robbery and other illicit maritime
activities, ships are urged to remain vigilant
when navigating through those regions, since
the threat of piracy is not "eliminated", noting in
particular the increasingly fragile situation
ashore in Somalia.
Duties

Countering Somalia-based piracy
In January 2009, an important regional agreement
was adopted in Djibouti by States in the region, at a
high-level meeting convened by IMO.
Duties

The Djibouti Code of Conduct (DCoC) concerning
the Repression of Piracy and Armed Robbery
against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the
Gulf of Aden recognizes the extent of the problem
of piracy and armed robbery against ships in the
region.
Duties

And, in it, the signatories declare their intention
to cooperate to the fullest possible extent, and in a
manner consistent with international law, in the
repression of piracy and armed robbery against
ships.
Duties

The signatories commit themselves towards
sharing and reporting relevant information through a
system of national focal points and information
centers; interdicting ships suspected of engaging in
acts of piracy or armed robbery against ships;
ensuring that persons committing or attempting to
commit acts of piracy or armed robbery against ships
are apprehended and prosecuted.
Duties

And facilitating proper care, treatment, and
repatriation for seafarers, fishermen, other
shipboard personnel and passengers subject to
acts of piracy or armed robbery against ships,
particularly those who have been subjected to
violence.
Duties

Countering West Africa-based piracy
IMO and the Maritime Organization of West and
Central Africa (MOWCA), in July 2008, developed
the Memorandum of Understanding on the
establishment a sub-regional integrated Coast
Guard Function Network in West and Central Africa
and provide a framework of cooperation and
guidance for the implementation of the Network.
Duties

The MoU which has been signed by 15 coastal
States in the region aims to initiate joint efforts in the
domain of maritime activities to protect human life,
enforce laws and improve the safety and protection
of the environment.
Duties

More recently the Code of Conduct
concerning the repression of piracy, armed
robbery against ships, and illicit maritime activity
in west and central Africa was formally adopted
by a Heads of State meeting in Cameroon's
capital Yaoundé, on 25 June 2013, and was signed
by ministerial level representatives of 22 States
immediately afterwards.
Duties

The Code builds on the existing Memorandum of
Understanding on the integrated coastguard function
network in west and central Africa and incorporates a
number of elements of the Djibouti Code of Conduct,
the regional counter-piracy agreement for East
African States, but is much wider in scope as it
addresses a range of illicit activities at sea including
illegal fishing, drug smuggling and piracy.
Duties

IMO Guidance
IMO's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) highlights
adequate self-protection as the most appropriate
deterrent to acts or attempted acts of piracy and
armed robbery.
Duties

To that end, in May 2011 the MSC adopted
Resolution MSC.324(89) on the Implementation
of Best Management Practice Guidance, which
recognizes the urgent need for merchant
shipping to take every possible measure to
protect itself from pirate attack and that
effective self-protection is the best defense.
Duties

The resolution strongly urges all those
concerned to take action to ensure that, as a
minimum, ships' masters receive updated
information prior to, and which sailing through,
the defined High Risk Area (HRA).
Duties

Ships register with the Maritime Security Centre
Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) and report to United Kingdom
Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Dubai, and that
ships effectively implement all recommended
preventive, evasive and defensive measures.
Duties

They are acts against people, property or utilities
that produce alarm or fear in the population or
group or sector, to disturb the public peace or try
to undermine the authority of the state or
municipality or pressuring the authority to make a
determination, using explosives, toxic substances,
firearms or fire, flood or any other violent means.
• Terrorism
Duties

• Terrorism
There is no universally accepted definition of
international terrorism. A definition widely used
in government circles of the United States and
incorporated into the law defines "international
terrorism" as that involving citizens or property
of more than one country.
Duties

• Terrorism
Terrorism is usually defined as politically
motivated violence perpetrated against
noncombatant targets by subnational groups or
clandestine agents. A "terrorist group" is defined
as a group that engaged in terrorism or has
significant subgroups that practice.
Duties

• Terrorism
A potential shortcoming of this traditional
definition is its focus on groups or group
members and exclusion of individual terrorist
activities (not group organization), which have
recently risen in frequency and visibility.
Duties

The smuggling of drugs and narcotics is
universal and reflects increasingly marked
patterns of drug abuse.
• Contraband smuggling
Duties

Latin America and the Caribbean region has
become one of the regions worldwide traffic,
through which drug traffickers distributed
using these countries as major drug trafficking
routes.
• Contraband smuggling
Duties

• Stowaways and refugees
The Convention on Facilitation of International
Maritime Traffic, 1965, as amended, (the FAL
Convention), sets out measures to prevent
stowaway incidents as well as provisions on the
treatment of stowaways while on board and on
the disembarkation and return of a stowaway.
Duties

Unnoticed by the Master, the crew, port and
customs authorities, stowaways may gain access
to the ship with or without the assistance of port
personnel. Once on board the ship stowaways
hide in empty containers, cargo holds, tanks,
tunnels, behind false panels, stores,
accommodation area, engine rooms, void
spaces, cranes, chain lockers, etc.
Duties

The presence of stowaways on board ships may
bring serious consequences. The life of stowaways
could be endangered as they may spend several
days hidden, with the risk of suffocation and
without any water or provisions.
Duties

For ships and, by extension, to the shipping
industry as a whole; the ship could be delayed in
port; the repatriation of stowaways can be a very
complex and costly procedure involving masters,
shipowners, port authorities and agents.
Duties

When dealing with stowaways who claim they are
refugees and, therefore, wish to seek asylum,
shipmasters, shipowners and their agents should
be guided by the following considerations:
Duties

a) Under no circumstances should the
stowaway asylum-seeker be returned to the
country of origin or disembarked in any other
country from where (s)he would risk to be
returned to the country of origin or where
his/her life or freedom would be threatened on
account of race, religion, nationality,
membership of a particular social group or
political opinion.
Duties

b) The shipowners, their agents and
shipmasters, in conjunction with UNHCR (UN
High Commissioner for Refugees) , should seek
disembarkation of the stowaway asylum-seeker
at the next port of call where s(he) would not be
exposed to any of the risks mentioned in
paragraph (a).
Duties

c) To this effect, the shipmaster should
immediately inform the shipowners, and/or their
agents of the presence on board of the
stowaway asylum-seeker, who should in turn
contact UNHCR providing as much information
as possible on the reasons indicated by the
stowaway asylum-seeker in support of his/her
claim to refugee status.
Duties

d) If unable to contact the nearest UNHCR
Representative in the field, shipowners or their
agents may consider as a focal point for this and
all other communications between them and
UNHCR, the UNHCR Headquarters in Geneva.
Duties

e) Under no circumstances should the identity or
any other details concerning the stowaway asylum-
seeker be revealed to officials of an embassy,
consulate or other representation of his/her country
of origin.
Duties

f) UNHCR will provide practical
information/advice on the local authorities who are
competent in the country of disembarkation to deal
with asylum claims.
Duties

g) The shipowners or their agents, if required
together with UNHCR, should arrange for an
interview of the stowaway asylum-seeker upon
disembarkation in order to identify the principal
elements of his/her case.
Duties

The interview should preferably be conducted by
the immigration authorities from the country of the
port of call competent to deal with asylum claims,
using an interpreter when this is necessary, in the
presence of a UNHCR officer or an attorney
cooperating with UNHCR.
Duties

A transcript of the interview should be
communicated to UNHCR. If the interview
cannot be conducted by the immigration
authorities, a UNHCR officer or an attorney
cooperating with UNHCR should interview the
asylum-seeker.
Duties

h) Where countries are adamant in refusing
disembarkation of the stowaway asylum-
seeker, shipowners or their agents should
arrange for him/her to be interviewed on
board. The procedure followed and UNHCR's
involvement should be as in (g) above.
Duties

i) If the asylum-seeker is determined to be a
refugee, UNHCR will assist in finding a durable
solution for him/her.
Duties

j) Where the asylum-seeker is determined not
to be a refugee, s/he would remain under the
shipowner's responsibility and would be treated
as any other stowaway.
Duties

• Cargo Theft
Commits an offense that appropriates the
movable property of another without the consent
of the owner and with the intention of profiting,
that is, for some it is a pecuniary benefit or not,
acting without violence, intimidation or force.
Duties

• Collateral Damage
In times of armed conflict or war, very often the
conflict can spill over to the sea. The risk of falling
victim of collateral damage is probably the most
likely, but sometimes shipping is targeted directly
as part of the conflict. During armed conflict and
war shipping need to stay informed of
developments and understand the expectations
and intentions of friends, neutrals and foes.
Duties

1.4 Ship And Port
Operations And Conditions:
Intermodal transportation is a combination of two
or more modes of transport in order to move cargo
from a place in a country to another place in a
different country. The main characteristic of
intermodal transportation mode is that every part of
the process is contracted with different providers.

1.4 Ship And Port
Maritime transport is used by more than three-
quarters of world trade. The shipping industry is
therefore a dynamic and international. The
internationalization of shipping in recent years has led
to changes in ownership and management of vessels,
creating new records, technical advances and hiring
crews from different cultures that are not always
expressed in the same language.

and Armend Robbery
Each illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of
depredation, committed for purpose staff by the crew or
the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft.

• 2.4 Handling Sensitive
Security-Related Information
And Communications
Information regarding Assessments and Security Plans
must be treated with confidentiality if an RSO is responsible for
drafting these documents, you must ensure that all electronic
and paper has been destroyed and is not copied to the RSO,
should also establish a security mechanism to meet the people
involved in the preparation of such documentation.

Surveys:

5. SECURITY
EQUIPMENT

5.1 Security equipment and
systems
Smart cards and operation of communications systems and
security equipment.
Loss or copying keys have contributed to theft or other problems
due to unauthorized visitors. In such cases, alternative input
control devices should be considered.

Various types of "smart" cards have become a common means
of control. These sets of cards issued to staff and vendors who
require access at different times, are usually integrated with
computer software that allows you to use a specific code.
systems

For example, each card can be designed to meet the needs of
a particular individual. A cook, out of hours, may be granted
access to the cafeteria, but not to the administrative offices.
systems

Smart cards can be canceled instantly in the event of
loss or theft, so it will not work then if someone tries to
use them to gain access.
systems

The cards can be slid through a slot (sliding card), or
may need simply be brought closer to a reader
mechanism (badges).
systems

A contractor can deliver them coded to allow access only
for certain days or hours cards. Access to parking can be
controlled, allowing students to enter and exit only before
and after school hours. The cards can also serve as
identification and debit cards.
systems

The smart card technology eliminates the expense of
replacement locks and keys.
systems

The downside is the initial investment for the
production of the card, computer, printer and card
reading devices. These costs exceed those of
conventional keys in the short term, but the safety
features are far superior.
systems

• Metal Detectors
The effectiveness of the metal detector device has
received conflicting critical, for at least three reasons:
a. There are usually many entry points that can be used to get
weapons into the facility, including secondary doors or
windows open.
b. The use of the equipment requires the crush of people
when they arrive, to allow enough time for the process.
Security Duties

c. The equipment cannot operate alone. At least two security
personnel must be hired to operate the rods: register workers
or visitors who enter, separating those who do trigger the
alarm, monitor and respond to the other when they have
found weapons. Among the team and staff, this can be a
pretty expensive proposition.
• Metal Detectors
Security Duties

d. An alternative is a mobile metal detector portal.
Visitors passing through the portal cannot re-enter if
metal is detected. Your only option is to withdraw or
communicate via intercom monitored by a camera.
The mechanisms are effective, but the cost per access
is a major obstacle.
• Metal Detectors
Security Duties

• Alarm Systems
Alarms have two main functions: Used to detect
intruders after hours of operation or in controlled
areas and to alert emergency personnel when
immediate assistance is required.
Security Duties

• Alarm Systems
Alarm systems can be designed to detect intruders,
smoke or fire automatically. They also serve to help staff
trigger switches 'panic' in emergencies, such as when an
armed person is seen entering the building. In some cases,
specific personnel can facilitate their wireless devices that
serve as alarms to avoid threatening situations. The
technology can be used to electronically mark the location
of slope on campus.
Security Duties

• Alarm Systems
Alarms can be triggered by a variety of mechanisms,
including motion detectors, glass breakage, and electrical
contacts (triggered by the opening of windows or doors).
The microphones built into the system allow the
monitoring station to hear what is being said within the
facility and deliver that information to the police.
Security Duties

• Surveillance Systems
Surveillance technologies are appropriate when
a. Offenders must be identified and documented
actions;
b. When the hidden areas are attracting behavior
problems that have not been successfully held for
other measures; and
c. Violators may be staff members with legal access to
the facility.
Security Duties

Surveillance equipment is an investment that pays
off when the documentation of behavioral problems
and the identification of the suspects is important. All
equipment should be tested in the field before being
purchased:
Security Duties

a. Lighting conditions
b. The focus range of the camera
c. The capabilities of the computer
d. Weather conditions can impact the quality of the generated
images.
Security Duties

The greatest strength of the cameras CCTV (Close Circuit
Television) [CCTV] is the identification of the suspects after
the fact. They may also prevent certain criminal
activities. But the cameras are not perfect.
Security Duties

They can be chosen as a target by vandals, such that
must be installed with this possibility in mind.
Premeditated crimes may be planned to avoid the
cameras, or criminals may disguise to hide their identities.
Security Duties

Problems in places such as specific buses or large
staff of routes, you can advertise the installation of
cameras, regardless of whether they actually installed to
relocate under control these places.
Security Duties

A problem with installing fake cameras is that you
can assume that it is possible to rely with some degree
of security, when in reality it is not. Cameras that
monitor dark areas may require infrared capabilities (IR).
Security Duties

Technical differences between the chambers include
the following basic elements.
Security Duties

Fixed and movable (rotating or inclined). Fixed cameras tend
to require much less maintenance and can be trusted to get the
expected images.
Mobile cameras cover a wider area, but require more
maintenance and are often beyond critical details of an
incident.
Security Duties

One possibility is to integrate the cameras into the alarm system threats. The
camera remains fixed until the alarm is triggered, then it moves to focus instead
pointing alarm.
Security Duties

• Wired and Wireless
Systems.
The distance between the camera and receiver will
affect the quality of the received image, even with the
heavy cable system. Coaxial cables are sufficient
standards to about 300 meters, longer distances require
repeaters to pass the wireless signal or fiber optic cable
which can greatly extend the maximum distance
covered by a system of rigid cables.
Security Duties

It is unrealistic to expect staff to observe the closed
loop system to overtake the criminal behavior as that
happens. Studies done twenty years ago showed twenty
minutes is about the maximum time that an average
human being can be focused on this task. Monitors are
basically a tool to review incidents after they have
occurred.
Systems.
Security Duties

Until recently, the standard technology for
recording video images has been accomplished
through the use of videotapes (analog system). A
disadvantage is that the tapes must be manually
labeled and replaced every twenty four hours, in
addition to being stored as evidence.
Systems.
Security Duties

The video tape recording is rapidly being overtaken
by technological system of digital video recording (DVD)
that can hold large files for a long period.
Systems.
Security Duties

The best systems have an average length of life of
100,000 hours, and most have the ability to self-diagnose
and correct problems, notify users with alarms generated
by the software and generate calls to pager so faxes to
alert staff security.
Systems.
Security Duties

Analog images often delivered as fuzzy pictures
that are useless for identifying suspects, unlike digital
technology that is becoming more accurate year.
Systems.
Security Duties

The DVD technology can be integrated with access
control mechanisms, allowing users to extract all images
from certain sectors, where someone has had access
during certain hours, all in a matter of minutes.
Systems.
Security Duties

The analogy requires, in contrast, endless hours of
visual inspection.
The DVD technology can also take advantage of the local
network, enabling the central office to obtain images from
distant facilities.
Systems.
Security Duties

5.2 Operational Limitations
Of Security Equipment And
Systems
A preliminary step of great importance is the careful
identification before investing in a solution. Technology
can be seductive, but it is not always the right tool for the
job.
Metal detectors and ID cards will not stop bullying
behavior, the security cameras will not deter intruders.
Security Duties

A cost-benefit analysis should be used to compare this
investment with other needs. This should be prioritized
first, then solutions must be sought. Personnel costs, such
as security guards, maintenance of equipment and
improvements should be considered in a framework of
ten to twenty years for comparative purposes.
Systems
Security Duties

Technological failures should also be
considered. Particularly when the technology is seen as a
'quick fix' a risk of reinforcing a climate of fear and mistrust is
running, deteriorating social ecology of the plant, instead of
having an impact on the identified problem.
The technology can also prove to be unwieldy or
impractical. For example:
Systems
Security Duties

Metal detectors have to be handled by the staff, who will do
that?, will line staff, wait for half a block each morning, hoping to
have access to the facility?
Issues of maintenance and repairs should be considered; What if
a system is damaged during the weekend, who can repair it?
Where replacements can be made?
Systems
Security Duties

It is advisable to consult reference points. The best
resources are other ships that have already chosen
vendors and technology. Learn from their successes and
their failures.
Systems
Security Duties

The simplicity in the expansion, integration and
improvement of systems issues should be considered. Finally,
we should ask vendors about the flexibility of the system in
relation to technological change.
Systems
Security Duties

5.3 Testing, Calibration,
Equipment Maintenance And
Equipment Protection Systems
To make maintenance as effective as possible is very
important to have as much information about the facilities,
equipment and workplaces; This is essential for conducting
various types of planned and documented record results of
checks on working conditions and activity of security personnel,
as well as reviews of certain equipment reviews.
Security Duties

Equipment Maintenance
And Equipment Protection
Systems
Regulatory inspections covered by the operating
instructions must be carried out fully. Such is the case of
firearms, vehicles, armor, etc.
Security Duties

Systems
The general periodic reviews workplaces respond to the need
for workplace should be periodically reviewed, with particular
emphasis on housekeeping thereof. It must ensure that workers
have adequate resources and training necessary to maintain their
physical work environment in perfect condition.
Security Duties

Systems
Through these reviews are intended to control
the usual risks of conventional equipment and
security systems.
Security Duties

Equipment Protection
Systems
Periodic reviews are used to verify proper compliance
with established safety and procedures implemented and,
therefore, to detect deviations in the planned actions, in
order to incorporate improvements that may be necessary.
Security Duties

Systems
This should be done by people with a shout, with the
object of establishing a dialog arising needed
improvements in how to perform tasks, especially if they
are dangerous or uncomfortable.
Security Duties

Systems
The reviews may be carried out informally being made
by managers and workers while carrying out the activity of
protection. This type of review, although not systematic,
require additional effort, are very valid and often the staff
involved in the work is the first to identify risk factors.
Security Duties

Systems
Apart from informal reviews is essential to achieve
maximum effectiveness, the revisions are part of the
management system of the risks associated with security. To
do this they must be properly planned, implemented and
evaluated.
Security Duties

6. IDENTIFICATION
OF THREATS,
RECOGNITION AND
RESPONSE

6.1 Recognition and Detection
of Weapons, Dangerous
Substances and Devices
Knives can be concealed in belt buckles, brushes and
combs, cigarette lighters, crucifixes, lipstick cases, boxes,
cans, umbrellas, key chains, pens, fake credit cards and
money clips. While many of the blades are small, others may
be 4 inches long and some can be the size of a sword.
Security Duties

Among the more exotic items is a deck of fake cards
made of metal, with sharp edges, which could be
launched with disastrous results. A false key made in
Japan conceals a knife and a small key that could be used
to open handcuffs.
Security Duties

TNT has the following features:
• Appearance: yellow crystals or flakes sparkle in the light.
• Explosive properties: Explosive very stable, insensitive and
easy to care.
• Uses: Manufacture of firecrackers, load Granada, some
shells.
• Exploding the most used in the world for military
purposes.

PETN:
• Appearance: White crystals or so stretched
• Explosive properties: Explosive powerful high
detonation velocity is very sensitive to shock,
manipulate delicate, more sensitive than TNT.
• Use: Detonating Fuses, detonators load.

Plastic Explosives
The basic idea of plastic explosives, also called plastic
bonded explosives (PBX), is to combine explosive chemicals
with a plastic binder material. The binder has two important
jobs:
Security Duties

• It coats the explosive material, so it's less sensitive to
shock and heat. This makes it relatively safe to handle the
explosive.
• It makes the explosive material highly malleable. You can
mold it into different shapes to change the direction of
the explosion.
Security Duties

The explosive material in C-4 is
cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (C3H6N6O6), commonly called
RDX (which stands for "royal demolition explosive" or "research
development explosive").
Security Duties

The additive material is made up of polyisobutylene, the
binder, and di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate, the plasticizer (the
element that makes the material malleable). It also contains a
small amount of motor oil and some 2, 3-dimethyl-2, 3-
dinitrobutane (DMDNB), which functions as a chemical marker
for security forces.
Security Duties

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)
Attacks with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) kill
thousands every year, inflict grievous physical injuries,
damage critical infrastructure, and spread fear and
disruption across affected communities. IED production
takes place outside government controls.

So a traditional arms regulation approach — regulating
governmental production, trade, and use of this weapon
through a multilateral agreement — may not yield results.
Instead, the focus should be on the capacity of
governments to effectively bring together several policy
strands for comprehensive national action.

From commercial mining, inner-city development,
violent extremism, and military stockpile management to
agriculture and aviation security. A whole-of-government
approach is essential for making progress in dealing with
IED threats.

Identification of Packages
If you find a suspicious letter or package, do not handle it or
pick it up. Immediately clear the area of people, and call
authorities.
Security Duties

Here are nine signs a package might be dangerous:
• Check the handwriting. Misspelled words, badly typed or
written lettering, restrictive markings and no return address
could indicate trouble.
• Labels could be a red flag. If a package is sent with an
incorrect title or addressed to a title only, it has the potential
to be dangerous if opened.
Security Duties

• How is the package shaped? If the package is lopsided,
uneven, rigid or bulky in appearance, it may contain potential
hazards inside.
Security Duties

6.2 Methods of Physical
Searches and non-intrusive
Inspections
The body searches must be performed without
using invasive methods.
Security Duties

Inspections
Stagecoach caching and identification should be
carried out with caution and with radical rational spirit
of inquiry, which implies the need to act on mere
suspicion, provided they are not illogical, irrational or
arbitrary.
Security Duties

Inspections
Apprehension for caching diligence and identification of
drugs, narcotics or other effects from the offense may be
considered lawful trial by courts not incurred in violation of
fundamental rights.
Security Duties

Inspections
Baggage revisions can be performed manually or
using electronic means, as in the case of the various
loads that are mobilized by the installation, depends on
the amount of load, the type of medium used for these
controls.

• Hand Body Search:
The check of a person is made in the context of the fight
against terrorism, trafficking and stowaways. The purpose
of the body search is:
• Avoiding boarding of illegal and dangerous substances
and objects,
• Search for illegal and dangerous substances and
objects that people could use.

First, it is the palpable body areas that are directly
accessible susceptible to conceal a weapon or
dangerous object:
• Abdomen and waist
• Hollow spot of the back.
• Armpits.

Then the individual searching must always
check UP DOWN completely.
You should also ensure that the person does not
hide anything in the hollow of their hands.

There are two types of screening according to the
atmosphere when the test is performed:
• quiet location: check back unsupported
• tense situation: check back with vertical support.

• It´s performed by applying light pressure of fingers
and no friction (risk of injury in the event of presence
of blades).
• Should never be done from the front (head, etc.). Security Training For Seafarers

Advantages:
• No special equipment
• But senses can be used
• Direct interpretation
Disadvantages:
• Labor is intensive

6.6 Crowd Control
Existing psychological models of crowd behavior
were applied to examine emergency egress behavior,
and how this could facilitate the safe management of
mass evacuations.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Two interview–based studies of survivors’
experiences of different emergencies were
conducted. It was found that far from mass panic
occurring, being in an emergency can create a
common identity amongst those affected.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
A consequence of this is that people are cooperative
and altruistic towards others – even when amongst
strangers, and/or in life–threatening situations.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
The analysis has direct implications for how the Fire
and Rescue Services manage mass evacuations. In line
with earlier critiques, the concept of mass panic is a
myth unsupported by existing evidence.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Crowds in emergencies can be trusted to behave in
more social ways than previously expected by some
involved in emergency planning.

6.6 Crowd Control
Crowd is a meeting in one place for a group of people
and can occur during the loading or unloading of
passengers or for a workplace incident.

Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Effective crowd and crisis management is paramount in
managing an emergency on board passenger vessels. In the
event of an emergency, passenger vessels face additional
challenges to that of other vessel types, due to the added
risk associated with passengers and therefore, crew need to
be more vigilant and show greater awareness of the risks
that are faced.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
To manage behavior in a crisis, it is first necessary to
understand the roles and rules of passengers and crew
separately.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Roles and rules
Passengers
Passengers usually perform an everyday role away from a
vessel and will naturally continue this when they are on board.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
They will combine this with the role of a passenger,
however, the perception of the role will be determined by the
abilities of the company, ship, officers and crew.
If passengers are confident in the crew’s abilities, then they
will follow orders and behave appropriately in emergency
situations.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Officers and crew
Crews have predetermined everyday roles on board which
they are very familiar with.
In addition to their usual duties, they should also have
clearly defined responsibilities in the event of an
emergency.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
To improve familiarity and competency with these
defined tasks, emergency drills should be carried out
regularly.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
The difference between these two groups of people is
that passengers need to be informed of their roles during an
emergency, whereas the roles of officers and crew should
already be clearly defined.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Crisis Behaviour
The react to the behavior of a passenger in a crisis can
be defined in four stages; Warning, Impact, Evacuation
and Post-event Reaction. At each stage the pattern of
behavior will change as the passenger is influenced by
the effects of the crisis.
Security Duties

• Warning
The way that people react to warning signs differs
depending on the role they are playing in a situation.
Crew are trained to raise an alarm at the first sign there is
something abnormal or dangerous. Passengers, on the
other hand, will require a number of signs before
recognizing that there is a problem.
Security Duties

• Warning
These differing attitudes greatly influence the response
in an emergency. Due to their training and familiarity with
the scenario crew will generally react more efficiently than
passengers. Passengers will require instruction to be
given to ensure that they act accordingly in an emergency.
Security Duties

• Impact
Once the alarm is raised the physical and
psychological effects of the emergency will start to set
in. The abnormality of the situation means passengers
will experience a host of emotions that will very often
render them scared and helpless and will also lead to
stress.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
In an evacuation situation, clear instructions and effective
organization is essential. At this point, it is key that crew know their
responsibilities and proceed to follow the instructions set out in the
vessel’s emergency response procedures. 16
Security Duties

• Evacuation
As already outlined, people react differently in
emergency situations and quite often the individuals
responsible for the safe evacuation of people make
incorrect assumptions¹ which can include:
Security Duties

• Evacuation
Individuals will move as soon as they hear an alarm.
– In fact, unless they are led, some people will be slow
to leave a potentially dangerous area or situation.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
The motivation to escape underpins any
movements people make or actions they carry out. –
Passengers will take time to switch into escape mode
and may need strong instruction to realize the extent of
the danger.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
The time it takes to evacuate is only dependent on
the time it takes to physically move to, and through, an
exit. – Reaction time, anxiety levels and group dynamic
will influence time taken. Anxiety may also cause an
individual to take longer than normal.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
People are most likely to move towards the exit they
are closest to. – They will move towards the exit which
appears safest, suits their needs or are already familiar
with.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
People move as individuals, without considering
others. – Families will most often move as a unit and
the build-up of a dense crowd will mean individuals
inevitably have to follow others.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
Fire exit signs help to ensure people find a route to
safety. – As anxiety sets in, people can lose sight of
peripheral objects like exit signs, meaning they have
little or no impact.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
People are unlikely to use a smoke-filled escape
route. – If passengers are already familiar with a route
and believe it leads to safety they may choose to go
through it despite the risks.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
All people are equally capable of exiting the vessel.
– Age, experience and alcohol intake are among the
factors that can affect an individual’s ability to evacuate
the vessel. The elderly and young will take longer than
an experienced traveler.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
Peoples’ safety cannot be guaranteed since they are very
likely to panic – Panic is caused by a lack of information.
Providing information will lead to clarity and allow passengers
to better understand the situation.
Passengers will more often display the following reactions:
The surprise of an event may cause them to freeze.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
They will look for an easy route to escape and try to
gather valuables.
They will start to lose control and move from protecting
others to self-preservation.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
Passengers who behave in a non-panicked way may act
rationally and even look for ways in which they can assist.
Some individuals (approx. 25%) take on rational behavior
and approach the emergency as it is presented.
Security Duties

• Evacuation
A good understanding of these behaviors is key for crew
and will enable them to best assist and direct passengers.
Security Duties

• Post- event reaction
At this stage crew must be prepared for the resulting
effects of the emergency and the behaviors of passengers
upon the realization that the crisis is over.
Security Duties

There could be many scenarios at this point ranging
from no problems having occurred to the abandonment
of a vessel. In some of these scenarios the crew will have
to deal with possible casualties.
Security Duties

And the way in which passengers will react to having
witnessed this, as well as the way passengers will behave
when re-boarding a vessel, having been told that a crisis
has been averted.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Following an emergency, passengers will take time to
process what has occurred and will do so at different
paces. Officers and crew need to reassure and act in a
manner which is both calming and encouraging.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
They must eliminate feelings of tension or stress
because of the event and must maintain control as
passengers will continue to look to them for guidance.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
The quicker the passengers are calmed, the sooner
they will recover from the shock and effects will be
minimalized.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Its recommended the implementation of an
emergency response framework, which includes drills
and crew training for the care and assessment of
passengers.
Security Duties

6.6 Crowd Control
Emergency response procedures should take into
account the varying human behaviors and reactions to
an emergency and should factor in ample time to react
accordingly.

8. PREPARATION
FOR EMERGENCY
DRILLS AND
PRACTICE

Contingency Planning means preparing a documented plan
for emergencies and to ensure all on board are trained and
exercised toward its execution. Every seafarer is required to be
prepared for emergencies. Such preparedness can only be built
in through well laid out plans, training programmed and
properly worked out exercises.
8. PREPARATION FOR
EMERGENCY DRILLS AND
PRACTICE
Security Duties

A study of a number of casualties have shown that
seafarers tend to panic in an emergency as there is no
