NIGERIAN PORTS AUTHORITY SECURITY MEASURES TO PREVENT STOAWAYS IN OUR PORTS

The rate at which Stowaways board vessels Leaving our ports has become an issue of concern. Within the last weekend alone, there were three reported incidents. This indicates non compliance with the security measures put in place at our ports.

The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) has adopted more restrictive measures on prevention of Stowaways in Ports and Vessels. It is necessary that these measures be adopted by all if the incidents of stowaways must be checked.
Consequently, the following measures are to be strictly adhered to forthwith:

1. There must be exchange of Declaration of Security (DOS) between the Ship Security Officer (SSO) and the Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) on arrival of every vessel in port. The DoS should clearly state the duties of each party and compliance with its provision must be ensured.

2. Terminal Operators must check, identify and screen dockworkers .during and after discharge operations. This must be implemented at the entry point as stipulated in the ISPS Code.

3. Prior to port entry all spaces not to be used during cargo operations should be locked and sealed. An effective gangway watch must be maintained at all times. The crew should remain vigilant and challenge anyone who has no business on board or appears to be hanging around suspiciously.

4. Additional Security Guards on board at the gangway and on the seaward side of the vessel should be re-enforced.

5. Ships staff should conduct a complete stowaway search on completion of cargo operations and prior to departure from berth; further search should be conducted when the pilot is ready to disembark from the vessel.

6. Other measures that have proved effective and must be strictly complied with are:
• Maintain a register of people entering and exiting the vessel.
• Display warning signs at the Vessel Access Points.

7. There must be combined effort of the Ports / Terminals Security Officers (PFSO), Immigration Officers, Ship Agents/Representatives, the Ship Security Officer (SSO), NIMASA and SSS to ensure that stowaway check is conducted before a vessel sails from port. Thereafter, a certificate jointly signed by the search party will be issued to the ship.

8. Finally, the Master of any vessel found with stowaway would be held liable henceforth.
