The Ship Security Plan contains sensitive security-related communications and shall be protected from unauthorized access. While the plan is not normally subject to inspection, officers authorized by the government may access limited sections of the plan with consent if they have clear grounds to believe the ship is not in compliance with security requirements and need to verify or rectify the issue. Any access is still exceptional and requires consent of either the ship's government or master.
