What is the purpose of ISPS code ?

  • A.Prevent smuggling
  • B.Security of ships and ports
  • C.Promote import/export
  • D.Administration of maritime fixed assets

Answer: B

The ISPS code is for the security of ships and ports.

The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code was adopted by the International Maritime Organization in December 2002 as an amendment to the SOLAS convention, after the attacks of 11 September 2001, and came into force in July 2004. It requires ships and port facilities to assess threats, appoint security officers and keep security plans.

Preventing smuggling is a customs task, and promoting imports and exports is trade policy. The code is not about administering fixed maritime assets either: its whole subject is protection against security threats to ships and ports.
