 | | The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) code was born in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S., when at least 2,985 people were killed. |
 | | The ISPS Code came into force on July 1, 2004, and contrary to the predictions of many pundits, went forward quite smoothly. |
 | | When the ISPS code was passed in December 2002, the maritime community was placated by an IMO resolution that asked for a review of the manning standards onboard ships, which was also passed at the same conference pertaining to enhancement of maritime security. |
