ISPS Visitor Logbook - 1st Edition (2026)
£40.00
Under ISPS Code Part A, Section 9.4, ships operating at Security Level 1 are required to implement measures to prevent unauthorised access to the ship, its restricted areas, and the spaces where security and safety equipment is stored. These measures include monitoring the deck and surrounding areas and controlling access by checking the identification of all persons wishing to board and the reasons for doing so.
Systematic use of this ISPS Visitor Logbook enables the Ship Security Officer (SSO) and Master to:
- Demonstrate compliance with ISPS Code Part A, Sections 7.2, 8.3, 9.4 and 10.1 during Port State Control inspections, flag State audits and ISSC verification surveys.
- Provide an auditable chain of evidence that access control, identity verification and search procedures were applied consistently at every security level.
- Support the vessel's Ship Security Plan (SSP) with contemporaneous records that can be cross-referenced to the Declaration of Security (DoS) where applicable.
- Assist in the investigation of security incidents by preserving a chronological record of all persons who boarded the vessel, their stated purpose and the outcome of any searches conducted.
