4. Ports and Port
Facilities Definitions
Port is any specified area of land and water containing works and
equipment designed to facilitate commercial maritime transport
operations, having within its boundaries one or more port facilities, for
which a security plan has been developed in compliance with the ISPS
Code, providing services to ships as defined by Regulation 2 of Chapter XIRINA Maritime Security background
2 of the SOLAS Convention.
Port Facility means a location, decided by the Contracting Government or
by the Designated Authority, where the ship/port interface takes place;
this includes areas such as anchorages, waiting berths and approaches
from seaward, as appropriate. In these locations the ISPS Code is
mandatory.

5. What is a Touristic Port?
A Touristic Port is a specified area of land and water containing works and
equipment designed to facilitate the recovery of pleasure vessels and
nautical tourists living on board, including berthing of large yachts, both for
private and commercial use, and tender services for cruise ships.
For the particular scope of service, normally it is located close to a touristic
area.

12. Why ISPS Code in
Touristic Ports?
This is a sample of data relevant to the business of cruise ships and Mega
Yacht traffic where maritime security is mandatory for a Touristic Port
(ref. data for 2011 and 2012):
No. of Cruise ships at anchor: 194
Isps Mega Yachts interface: 145
Passengers in transit: 67,000.

13. Why ISPS Code in
Touristic Ports?
Consequently, for Touristic Port Managers the only way to maintain this
business opportunity was:
to comply with ISPS Code requirements during Cruise Ship and Mega Yacht
interface.
