ISPS Overview:
Providers of ISPS Regulatory Services Worldwide
The introduction of the International Ship and Port Security code (ISPS) and Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) on November 25th 2002, meant that in a very short time, shipping companies were required to meet detailed security criteria on all vessels and facilities. By the first quarter of 2003, Securewest International had already established a dedicated ISPS and training department in Norfolk, Virginia and delivered the first Vessel Security Assessments (VSA) and Vessel Security Plans (VSP).
The company now offers ISPS related services from all its offices around the world including the United Kingdom and Singapore.
