Security Assessments

Ship Security Assessment (SSA):

This is the start point of the process. A ship security assessment includes a real-time threat assessment and an on-site ship security assessment. To comply with the ISPS requirements, the Ship Security Assessment must be performed individually on board each vessel, as it is the basis for each vessel’s ship security plan. It is a process that addresses basic issues, and the report highlights strengths and weaknesses.

Company Security Assessment (CSA):

The company security assessment evaluates the company’s security organization, processes and procedures as they relate to ISPS-Code compliance and the required interface with vessel security assessment and subsequent plan production. The Company Security Assessment includes the company’s security interface with the vessel with respect to crewing, cargo/chartering, vendors, operations and the port facility. As part of the Company Security Assessment the company will review the completed Ship Security Assessment for each vessel in the fleet and determine what security measures must be implemented on each vessel. HudsonTrident will explore with the company additional or alternative security measures that, in our view, should be adopted. With the Company Security Assessment in hand, we will proceed with the writing of the Ship Security Plan and the Company Security Plan.

Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA):

The Port Facility Security Assessment includes a real-time threat assessment and an on-site Port Facility Security Assessment. To comply with ISPS requirements, the Port Facility Security Assessment must be performed for each facility and is the basis for the Port Facility Security Plan.
