ISPS Services for Yachts
Our experience is invaluable in ensuring that the ISPS Code is interpreted correctly and applied to the superyacht’s Ship Security Plan (SSP) in a realistic manner that actually works on board.
Our ISPS service for superyachts consists of two distinct stages, the development of the systems including on board set up, and the subsequent ongoing supervisory and support functions, once the systems are in place.
The yacht’s SSP will be developed in conjunction with the Captain and crew, taking into account all relevant international and national legislation and will form part of the overall ship security system.
