The term "Special measures to enhance maritime security" as defined by SOLAS applies to which vessels?
• SOLAS Chapter XI-2 – Special measures to enhance maritime security • Which ships the ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code) applies to • Difference between gross tonnage thresholds and voyage type (international vs. coastwise)
• Look at which options mention international voyages, and think about how SOLAS normally applies to ships on international voyages • Compare the gross tonnage limits in each answer choice with what you remember from ISPS/SOLAS security requirements • Consider whether SOLAS Chapter XI-2 generally covers government-owned vessels or focuses on commercial cargo and passenger ships
• Verify the minimum gross tonnage in SOLAS/ISPS for cargo ships required to comply with security measures • Confirm that SOLAS security provisions are tied to international voyages, not purely domestic/coastwise voyages • Check whether warships or government non‑commercial ships are normally excluded from SOLAS requirements
