B.Examples of clear grounds for the control of ships on security aspectsU.K.
1.The inspector may establish clear grounds for further control measures on security during the initial PSC inspection as follows:U.K.
1.1.
ISSC is not valid or it has expired.
1.2.
The ship is at a lower security level than the port.
1.3.
Drills related to the security of the ship have not been carried out.
1.4.
Records for the last 10 ship/port or ship/ship interfaces are incomplete.
1.5.
Evidence or observation that key members of the ship’s personnel cannot communicate with each other.
1.6.
Evidence from observations that serious deficiencies exist in security arrangements.
1.7.
Information from third parties such as a report or a complaint concerning security-related information.
1.8.
The ship holds a subsequent, consecutively issued Interim International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC) and in the professional judgement of the inspector one of the purposes of the ship or company in requesting such a certificate is to avoid full compliance with SOLAS 74 Chapter XI-2 and Part A of the ISPS Code, beyond the period of the initial Interim Certificate. ISPS Code Part A specify the circumstances when an Interim Certificate may be issued.
2.If clear grounds as described above are established, the inspector shall immediately inform the competent security authority (unless the inspector is also an Officer Duly Authorised for Security). The competent security authority shall then decide on what further control measures are necessary taking into account the security level in accordance with Regulation 9 of SOLAS 74, Chapter XI.U.K.
3.Clear grounds other than those above are a matter for the Officer Duly Authorised for Security.U.K.
