Drills and exercises - general requirements
Objectives
To test how well port security personnel can
?
Responsibility
The PFSO must ensure that drills and exercises
are carried out at appropriate intervals

• do their jobs at all security levels, and
• identify any security-related deficiencies which
  need to be addressed

Allowances
To test the effective implementation of the PFSP
?
May be conducted with other emergency response
activities
Drills exercises must take into account Part B
of the ISPS Code
7
Drills and exercises - general requirements
DRILLS

• Frequency. At least every 3 months (or if
  warranted)
• Focus. Individual elements of the PFSP (incl
  security threats)
• Factors to consider. Types of port facility
  operations, port facility personnel changes,
  vessel types serviced

Port personnel
Personnel must be familiar with the PFSP and
trained in the processes and procedures to be
tested.
8
Drills and exercises - general requirements
EXERCISES

• Should be carried out at least once a year with
  no more than 18 months between exercises
• Type of exercises should vary
• Should test- communication- coordination-
  resource availability- response

May be limited to the port facility May be
inter-agency May vary in complexity
Requests for ship participation needed
PFSO participation in exercises is required by
the ISPS Code
9
Additional guidance - definitions
DRILL
A simple activity that tests an individual
element of the PFSP
eg Access control Container tampering Dangerous
goods
EXERCISE
A more complex activity that tests several (or
all) port security functions at the same time
Drills help prepare port security personnel for
more complex exercises

US Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation
Program 2006
definition
A coordinated, supervised activity usually
employed to test a single task, procedure or

• To provide training in the use of new equipment
• To develop or test new policies or procedures
• To practice and maintain current skills

11
Exercises
definition
A more complex activity in which several
functions are coordinated and tested
purpose

• To promote emergency preparedness
• To test or evaluate emergency operations,

The context of drills and exercises
Security personnel duties
Security threats
PFSP
Security measures

• How well do security personnel perform their
  duties?
• How effective are the security measures in
  protecting the port facility from security
  threats?
• How effective is the entire security system?

15
Port security personnel duties
USE
KNOW

• Crowd management and control techniques
• Security-related communications
• Security equipment and systems (operation,
  testing, calibration, maintenance)
• Inspection, control and monitoring techniques
• Methods of physical searches

• Current security threats and patterns
• Techniques used to avoid security measures

RECOGNIZE DETECT

• Weapons, and dangerous substances and devices
• Characteristics and behaviour of persons who are
  likely to threaten security

Drills exercises should test how well security
personnel can do their jobs
16
Key security threats
Damage to, or destruction of, the port facility
or of the ship, eg by explosive devices, arson,
sabotage or vandalism
Types of security threats
Unauthorized access or use (incl. stowaways)
Smuggling weapons or equipment (incl. WMD)
Hijacking or seizure of the ship or of persons on
board
Blockage of port entrances, locks, approaches, etc
Use of the ship to carry terrorists their
equipment
Tampering with cargo, key ship equipment or
systems, or ships stores
Nuclear, biological and chemical attack
Use of the ship as a weapon or means to cause
damage or destruction
17
Port security measures

• Ensure security performance
• Control access to the port facility
• Monitor port facility
• Monitor restricted areas
• Supervise cargo handling
• Supervise handling ships stores
• Ensure security communication is readily available

Drills exercises should test how effective port
security measures are
18
The bottom line
Use drills and exercises often enough so that
emergency response becomes automatic, where
personnel respond immediately when the real thing
happens, instead of having to think about it
first, or going back to manuals for guidance, or
panicking and losing control
19
The bottom line
Conducting drills and exercises helps the port
facility

• Know if people can effectively perform their
  security duties
• Know if the system is working well or what needs
  to be improved
• Learn from mistakes
• Give people the confidence that the system will
  respond in case of an actual threat or incident
