🔍 Key Concepts

• ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code) requirements for handling security breaches onboard • Purpose and contents of the Ship Security Plan (SSP) versus technical/operational manuals (SOPEP, SOLAS guidance, etc.) • Responsibilities of the senior engineer officer when a restricted or emergency space shows signs of unauthorized access

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which document is specifically designed to address security incidents and breaches, rather than pollution response or safety construction rules? • Consider: when a seal on a restricted/emergency space is broken in port, what is the first procedural reference the crew is normally trained to consult under the ISPS Code? • Think about: which choice reflects a formal, pre‑approved plan that is often kept under controlled access and covers different security levels and responses to tampering or unauthorized entry?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which manual or plan on board deals explicitly with security levels, access control, and response to tampering or unauthorized entry. • Confirm the primary purpose of the SOPEP (Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan) and whether it focuses on security or pollution incidents. • Check that the option you choose aligns with what the Company Security Officer (CSO) and Ship Security Officer (SSO) would expect you to follow when a sealed emergency space is found breached.
