PROCEDURES & COMPLIANCE
The Fijian government appointed regulatory body, Maritime Safety Authority of Fiji (MSAF), which is responsible for verifying Ports of Suva and Lautoka as compliant with these international security requirements – they are also responsible for setting the Maritime Security Levels of all Fiji ISPS approved ports. These Security Levels are:
01
Security Level 1
Security Level 1 is the normal day-to-day operational level whereby minimum appropriate protective security measures are always maintained. These include such measures as the presenting of photo ID when entering the Port, searching of bags and vehicles, and various levels of access control.
02
Security Level 2
Security Level 2 is the level for which appropriate additional protective security measures must be maintained for a period because of heightened risk of a security incident. These security measures are generally obtained by an increase in the procedures listed at Level 1.
03
Security Level 3
Security Level 3 is the level for which further specific protective security measures must be maintained for a limited period when a security incident is probable or imminent. Again, an increase in the security measures listed above for Level 2 are employed with the aid of the various Government agencies.
