Study on analysis of key elements in standardization management of port facility security

Abstract

Though the implementation of port facility security has made great achievements in China over the past decade, management of port facility security still shows a lack of systematic and normative. Port Facility Security Standardization Management is the important means not only in promoting the institutionalization and systematization of port facility security, but also in improving the effectiveness of port facility security. On the basis of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code and the existing laws and standards in China, taking into account the development over the past decade of the port facility security practices, connotation of standardization management in port facility security, including objectives and considerations, is proposed by the application of standardized management theory. Furthermore, from the point of view of port authority supervision and port operator management, the key elements in standardization management of port facility security and indicators of each key element are analyzed to make standardization management in port facility security more clearly and workable.
