International Trade

• International trade is invaluable to the well being of
• r respecti e nations
• ur respective nations.
• Alexis de Tocqueville (c. 1840) stated:

“Trade is the natural enemy of all violent passions Trade loves Trade is the natural enemy of all violent passions. Trade loves moderation, delights in compromise, and is most careful to avoid anger. It is patient, supple, and insinuating, only resorting to extreme measures in cases of absolute necessity. Trade makes men independent of one in cases of absolute necessity. Trade makes men independent of one another and gives them a high idea of their personal importance: it leads them to want to manage their own affairs and teaches them to succeed

• therein. Hence, it makes them inclined to liberty but disinclined to

y revolution.”

• International trade is worth protecting.

ISPS Code

The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code is the primary port security instrument worldwide. It addresses: Access Control

• Access Control
• Monitoring
• Cargo Security
• Drills and Exercises

ISPS Code

The ISPS Code has two parts:

• Part A - Mandatory Requirements

P B R d i

• Part B - Recommendations

• Reciprocal visits

USCG International Port Security Program Overview

• Country Visits involve:

Di i f h h ’ – Discussion of the host country’s implementation philosophy with the Designated Authority g y

• Visit selected ports / port facilities
• Discuss ISPS Code implementation

at the port facility level & tour p y facility to observe security measures in place.

• Discuss observations

General Visit Observations

During our IPS During our IPS Program visits we like to walk through a port facility’s access l control procedures.

Status Report IPS Program Country Visits

• The USCG conducted visits

to more than 150 countries

• These countries have a total of
• ~13,000 port complexes
• ~125,000 international port facilities

N d i 3 d d f i i

• Now conducting 3nd round of visits

Status Report IPS Program Reciprocal Visits (RVs)

N mber of co ntries

• Number of countries

conducting RVs = 82

• Total number of RVs = 104
• ASEAN RVs = 6

(1 more scheduled for July 2012) (1 more scheduled for July 2012)

General Visit Observations

• Good awareness of the

requirements of the ISPS q Code

• Physical security is

ll d generally good.

• Sustainability may be a

challenge for some g countries

• Improvement Areas:

G d O i h – Governance and Oversight – Drills and Exercise – Ability to conduct port state t l control – Waterside security – Cargo documentation

the world

• ISPS Code implementation is the best way

to accomplish that goal

• Exchange information based on each trading

partner’s interpretation of the ISPS Code

• Ongoing mutual visits to exchange security

information

• Engagement with international
• rganizations

T k i i i i i h i k
