Japanese Approach to Port Security

1
Japanese Approach to Port Security

• Tentative Schedule
• Basic Policy
• Role Allocation among Stakeholders
• Port Security Conference
• Standards for Port facility
• Critical Issues

2
Tentative Schedule

• 2003.9
• Preliminary port facility security assessment has
  finished. Port facility security assessment will
  start in September.
• 2003.10
• The new law for maritime security will be enacted
  in the diet.

3

• 2004.3
• Budget for fiscal year 2004 (April to March)
  will be adopted in the diet.
• After that, port security equipment such as
  fences and surveillance system will be installed
  at each port facility.
• PFSP (Port Facility Security Plan) will be
  approved by the MLIT by the end of June 2004.

4
Basic Policy for Security Measures

• Main port security measure is access control to
  prevent unauthorized access to the port facility
  or to a restricted area of the facility.

5
Prioritization

• The adoption of security measures should be
  prioritized.
• The most preferable security measures will be
  adopted at prioritized facilities.
• Another equivalent measures such as deploying
  additional security guards would be adopted at
  other facilities.

6
Targeted Port

• Port Facility Security Plan will be developed at
  the Specially Designated Major Ports and Major
  Ports as designated in the Ports and Harbors
  Law which handle foreign cargoes or which are
  planned to handle foreign cargoes in the future.
• The number of targeted ports is about 130.

7
Port Facility Security Plan (each facility)

• Port Facility Security Plan should at least be
  developed at the following two types of port
  facilities
• Berth facilities including quay, moorage
  facilities and yards
• Navigation channel, anchorage serving ships
• Facility owner or facility operator for each port
  facility develops PFSP

8
Port Area Security Plan (each port)

• There are various types of facilities for each
  port including waiting berth and water area.
• Coordination of security measures of each
  facility and role sharing system among stake
  holders are indispensable to secure security.
• Port Management Body (PMB) will develop PASP for
  each port area.

Appropriate role allocation among stakeholders
11
Central Government (MLIT)

• Supervise overall port security measures
• Set Security Level
• Carry out Port Facility Security Assessment
• Approve Port Facility Security Plan
• Audit Port Facility Security Plan periodically
• Disseminate information relevant to conducting
  port security measures
• Respond to Port Security Incidents in
  co-operation with relevant authorities such as
  police, coast-guard, fire-fighters
• Develop technologies for enhancing port security
• Co-operate with relevant authorities such as
  Customs, Immigrant Authorities, Quarantine and so
  on
• Assist PMB, facility owner and operator in
  financial support (upon approval of Ministry of
  Finance)

12
Port Management Body (PMB)

• Coordinate port security measures in each overall
  port area
• Develop Port Area Security Plan which covers
  overall port area
• Develop Port Facility Security Plan for Water
  Area ( all facilities on water area of port such
  as breakwater, waterway, waiting, are
  administrated by PMB.)
• Chair Port Security Conference
• Take security measures for enhancing security of
  important administrative facilities such as
  crisis management center, signal station that are
  engaged in the overall administration of port
  security and safety.

13
Facility Owner /Facility Operator

• Develop a Port Facility Security Plan for each
  port facility
• Take security measures addressed by the PFSP

14
Port Security Conference(under consideration)
15
Objectives

• Facilitate development of the port facility
  security plan and ensure its effectiveness of the
  plan

16
Responsibility

• Coordinate security measures among members
• Exchange and disseminate information relevant to
  port security measures among the members

17
Members

• Port Management Body will chair the conference.

• Port Facility Security Officer designated by the
  Chairman
• Government Institution (Immigration Authority,
  Customs, Quarantine, Regional Development Bureau
  (MLIT), Police, Coastguard)
• Facility Owner, Facility Operator, Facility User

18
Basic Policy on standards for port security
measures

• Japanese standard which is complied with the ISPS
  code A will be developed.
• The ISPS code B is taken into consideration when
  setting standards for port security measures.

19
Standards for Port Facility

• Port Facilities are classified into several types
  based on their function and importance.
• Standards will be developed for each type.

20
Terminal with container liner service bound for
trunk lineand Terminal handles hazardous
material -Type A-

• Monitor peripheral area, terminal area and water
  area of a facility by security guards and
  surveillance equipment
• In addition, access control will be automated by
  introducing appropriate identification system of
  the personnel and delivery cars.

21
Terminal with liner service(including RORO
service)-Type B-

• Monitor peripheral area, terminal area and water
  area of a facility by security guards and
  surveillance equipment

22
Terminal without regular service Type C-

• Peripheral area, terminal area and water area of
  a facility will be monitored by security guards.
• Minimum security equipment will also be
  installed.
