Background
Why international cooperation is important?
The weak points of SOLAS/ISPS Where no external
audit scheme exists for security measures, and
unless every country implements and maintains
effective security measures at their ports and on
their ships, our trade network will not remain
secure.
Necessity of cooperation Urge and assist every
Contracting Government to implement SOLAS/ISPS
effectively and continuously by establishing a
PDCA cycle in each country.

Ministerial Conference on International
Transport Security
Ministerial Statement on Security in
International Maritime Transport Sector
Resolve to continue, in cooperation with IMO and
other appropriate fora, to provide necessary
assistance and support to Contracting
Governments to the 1974 SOLAS Convention in
enhancing their ability and capacity to
implement appropriate security measures at their
port facilities through further international
and regional efforts

Capacity Building efforts and initiatives on
Maritime Security
approaches to assist Capacity Building efforts
Global approach
Strong but difficult and time-consuming in
establishing universal framework.
Bilateral approach
Quick but need lots of resources. Possible
overlaps with other donors.
Regional approach
- If facing common issues, can learn from each
other streamline efforts.
Further efforts on capacity building are
required. However, overlaps or even conflicts
between various bilateral regional efforts need
to be minimized. Also such efforts should be
coordinated and appropriately targeted.
