Maritime Security: Training, Drills and Exercises (Inherent Value)

… Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU) 6th Annual …, 2005

ISPS and MTSA mandates changed the operational structure of all Maritime assets. The Maritime world is forging ahead with the first requirements in place, instituted and implemented. Now we are at the critical juncture of applying the edicts in our Security Plans, aboard ships, at shore facilities, in regions and in countries. These edicts require specific training and certifications. Drills and exercises are required. I intend to show how these have been promulgated on a Maritime Training Vessel. In a teaching / learning environment we are always striving to find innovative ways to reinforce by actual practice the concepts we introduce in the classroom. I intend to show that this is a valid methodology for insuring the greatest possible retention of the precepts introduced. Varied and unique as it is, the training insures better retention in the minds of the students. Choosing unique partners to train with, using their assets, which are at times very high tech, beyond the cost capability of most maritime training institutions, has proven effective for Maine Maritime Academy and the Training Ship STATE OF MAINE. The value is spread to and from students to all participants in the drills and exercises and the resultant training each receives is value added to all.

Risk-based ship security analysis–an approach based on civilian and military methods

2012

Abstract The demands on maritime operations today are increasingly higher in terms of control, efficiency and cost. The margins for accidents and security incidents are therefore decreasing. In the area of ship safety the regulations, guidelines and methods have a history and culture of systematic research, development and implementation. In contrast, international security is highly politicized and therefore not as transparent. The result is that a tradition of ship security is not as well established.

Hatfield, Joseph M., 2014. "The 'Aresian Risk' of Unmanned Maritime Systems," published online by the U.S. Naval Institute.

U.S. Naval Institute, 2014

This article examines the impact that unmanned maritime systems will have on the maritime military services. Because they are maritime systems, they will be forward-deployed in peacetime to a greater degree than other technologies. Because they are unmanned—their use risking no personnel—they will inevitably be used in a wider variety of contexts than current manned maritime systems. As such, unmanned maritime systems present unique challenges and cannot be merely understood as a "sharpening" of the tools of war, a picture that pretends statesmen are in control as "tool wielders." Rather, Clausewitz's emphasis on war as an unpredictable and generative force is war's true context and the lens through which the impact of unmanned maritime systems must be understood.

Minimising Risk from Armed Attacks: The new naval ship code's effects

2010

As stated in The United States of America's Maritime Strategy (DoD 2007) the world's economy is tightly interconnected and 90% of the world trade are transported by sea. The sea-lanes and supporting shore infrastructure are therefore very important to the global economy. Today's conflicts are increasingly characterized by a blend of traditional and irregular tactics, decentralized planning and execution, and non-state actors using both simple and sophisticated technologies in innovative ways.

Analyzing risks in Naval Operations: The case of visit, board, search and seizure operations in the Côte D’Ivoire Navy

Maritime Technology and Research 2023; 5(1): 258421, 2023

Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) operations, which are the preferred modus operandi to deliver law enforcement at sea, have always been, and remain, a risky endeavor. Because this type of operation holds a pivotal role in maritime law enforcement, safe execution is vital to protect involved staff and assets. Hence, this paper analyzes risks associated with VBSS operations; its main aim is to improve the overall level of safety and bring the identified risks under control, by developing associated mitigation measures. First, the risks under discussion were assessed, based on the professional judgment and experience of the naval personnel involved in these operations. Their inputs were introduced in a conceptual framework and the associated results were scored, compared, and benchmarked. It is true that there is an inherent level of risk built in the execution of VBSS operations; although the occurrence of negative incidents/mishaps can be considered marginal for the vast majority of the time, events like these are most often associated with serious consequences. The results of this research effort acknowledged that risk management practices can be useful and have variable performance in bringing risks to as low as reasonably practicable. In this aspect, risk mitigation can be more effective by implementing a systems approach of physical and administrative barriers with four distinct pillars: "Training", "Equipment", "Organizational Culture", and "Procedures".

Maritime Security: Strengthening International and Interagency Cooperation

2009

Strategic Studies is a division of CNA. This directorate conducts anafyses of security policy, regional analyses, studies of political-military issues, and strategy and force assessments. CNA Strategic Studies is part of the global community of strategic studies institutes and in fact collaborates with many of them. On the ground experience is a hallmark of our regional work. Our specialists combine incountry experience, language skills, and the use of local primary-source data to produce empirically based work. All of our analysts have advanced degrees, and virtually all have lived and worked abroad. Similar ly, our strategists and military/naval operations experts have either active duty experience or have served as field analysts with operating Navy and Marine Corps commands. They are skilled at anticipating the "problem after next" as well as determining measur es of effectiveness to assess ongoing initiatives. A particular strength is bringing empirical methods to the evaluation of peacetime engagement and shapin g activities.
