"Your plans have become the benchmark for what we here at the Marine Safety Center consider "a damn good plan". So "thank you" for your professionalism, dedication, and hard work constructing and maintaining your vessel security plans!"

Security Plans

The preparation of plans and standard operating procedures (SOPs) is a critical element of a company’s overall security program. Plans are taken from the creation stage through implementation to routine maintenance and updating. HudsonTrident can prepare plans for:

Vessels, mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) and vessel-operating companies
Corporate emergency response
Business continuity
Passenger terminals
Strategic sites such as refineries, bridges, tunnels, production platforms
Container and cargo terminals
Government and military installations
Pipelines
Airports and seaports

All plans are IMO-compliant and meet all applicable regulatory requirements and will be fully approved by the Flag States or their RSOs. They are tailored to a client’s requirements, and all changes are documented for administrative, insurance and legal reasons.
Plans and operations can be integrated across a spectrum that includes security, ISM and OPA 90 compliance.

Ship Security Plan

Ship Security Plan (SSP): The ship security plan establishes how the vessel will comply with the ISPS Code. In particular it establishes the position of a Ship Security Officer (SSO) and identifies the processes and procedures to be followed. The Ship Security Plan is submitted for approval to a government, flag state or the US Coast Guard, as the case may be. Once approved, the Ship Security Plan is put into operation on the vessel. The approval authority will then attend on board the vessel for verification that the Ship Security Plan has been implemented and is in effect and will subsequently issue the International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC).

Company Security Plan (CSP):

The Company Security Plan establishes how the company will manage the security compliance requirements for the vessel and its interface responsibilities with the vessel and port facility through the Company Security Officer (CSO). HudsonTrident can combine all plans with existing ISM manuals, security assessments and risk-management plans. Measures in the plan provide details on the company’s commitment, requirements and procedures to comply with the ISPS Code. The Company Security Plan can be a stand-alone document or integrated with existing ISM management procedures. It is through the consultation with the company and the development of the Company Security Plan that the security process and procedures will be defined for the company’s ships.

Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP):

The Port Facility Security Plan establishes how the facility will comply with the ISPS Code. In particular it establishes the position of a Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) and identifies the processes and procedures to be followed. The Port Facility Security Plan is submitted for approval to a government or to the US Coast Guard, as the case may be.
