Ship Security Assessment (SSA)

The ship security plan (SSP) is developed on the base of a ship security assessment (SSA). The company security officer (CSO) is responsible for the preparation of a risk assessment and possibly for its updating. Please observe also the notes in the German Verkehrsblatt 21/2003. The minimum scope of a ship security assessment is made mandatory with the ISPS code (section 8 of part A and part B).
