All UK ports must have a certified port facility security officer (PFSO). The PFSO is required to:
- implement security measures stated in the International Ship and Port Facility Code (ISPS Code)
- train other staff in general security awareness and to aid this we have produced various security materials which are available on request
Each facility must have a PFSO, although a single PFSO is allowed to be responsible for multiple facilities.
