Preventative measures


All trades ● While in port accommodation doors should be locked or guarded


● A crew member must always be on duty on the gangway tallying all persons boarding and disembarking.


● Stevedore companies should be asked before operations begin how many stevedores will be working and stevedores should be required to access the ship only by the gangway. Consideration should be given to the easy identification of authorised personnel. One way in which this can be achieved is to issue coloured vests or perhaps arm bands to members of the stevedore team. These should be returned and counted at the end of the shift. Different colours should be used in order to prevent copying. Those not wearing the appropriately coloured article can

be assumed to be an unauthorised visitor.


● Watchmen should be vigilant for boarders climbing the fore and aft mooring ropes and over the rails from the quayside at low water, or by small boat, especially during the night.


● Specific instructions should be given to watchmen to allow onboard only people required for the ship’s business, such as stevedores and officials. Sellers of services or goods should not be permitted.


● Before departure the vessel should be searched thoroughly with particular attention to dark and unlikely places, including areas apparently locked.
