NIGERIAN PORTS AUTHORITY SECURITY MEASURES TO PREVENT
STOAWAYS IN OUR PORTS
The rate at which Stowaways board vessels leaving our ports has become an
issue of concern. Within the last weekend alone, there were three reported
incidents. This indicates non compliance with the security measures put in place
at our ports.
The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) has adopted
more restrictive measures on prevention of Stowaways in Ports and Vessels. It is
necessary that these measures be adopted by all if the incidents of stowaways
must be checked.
Consequently, the following measures are to be strictly adhered to forthwith:
1. There must be exchange of Declaration of Security (DOS) between the
Ship Security Officer (SSO) and the Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO)
on arrival of every vessel in port. The DoS should clearly state the duties
of each party and compliance with its provision must be ensured.
2. Terminal Operators must check, identify and screen dockworkers .during
and after discharge operations. This must be implemented at the entry
point as stipulated in the ISPS Code.
