Vessel Security
Vessel security services allow our clients to move forward with confidence. In addition to our assessment, planning, prevention and training programs, we also offer security consulting services and assistance.
Ship Security Assessment (SSA) includes a security assessment with On-scene Security Survey (OSS) and report including current AVRA calculation and marked General Arrangement plan. To comply with the ISPS Code requirements, the Ship Security Assessment must be performed individually on board each vessel, as it is the basis for each ship security plan. It is a process that addresses basic factors to be protected while identifying strengths and weaknesses and developing measures to reduce risk.
Ship Security Plan (SSP) establishes how the vessel will comply with the ISPS Code. In particular, it establishes the position of a Ship Security Officer (SSO) and details the security roles, responsibilities, procedures and equipment specific to the Company and vessel. The SSP may also be supplemented with a Ship Security Alert Stem (SSAS) Annex and/or an Anti-Piracy/High Risk Waters Annex. Our Ship Security Plan and Annexes have been accepted by more than forty Flag Administrations. We ensure approval of your HudsonTrident developed Ship Security Plan and will promptly address any issues that may arise during the review and approval of your submission to the Flag State or their RSO. Following approval, we can also provide plan revision services for any regulatory or client requested changes.
Annual Security Retainer Services are available which include routine updating and continual regulatory maintenance of the SSP/VSP, security regulatory advice, ISPS drill programs, and HudsonAnalytix client circulars.
Ship Security Training Programs are offered through HudsonTrident in partnership with our training division HudsonDynamix. These comprehensive training courses include Company Security Officer (CSO), Ship Security Officer (SSO/VSO), and Vessel/Facility Personnel with Specific Security Duties (VFPSSD). HudsonTrident is an approved training course provider; our courses are certified by the U.S. Coast Guard and are based on the latest U.S. and IMO requirements. Upon successful completion of training, ship’s Officers and crew will understand security requirements, implement plans, manage and monitor security systems, and ensure proper training in procedures, drills and exercises. These programs include lectures using real-world scenarios to ensure effectiveness. Further, HudsonTrident offers Maritime Security Awareness training and vessel/voyage-specific training for narcotics searching, evidence collection, and chain of custody to support vessel operators seeking to demonstrate due diligence in areas with a high risk of drug smuggling.
Ship Security Audits are necessary to ensure that plans are up-to-date and properly implemented. HudsonTrident internal audits are invaluable in maintaining compliance with ISPS Code and identifying any areas which may need revision especially, and in preparation, for annual or intermediate verification audits performed by the ISSC certifying authority.

Port Security
Through planning, training and analysis, Hudson has reduced vulnerability and improved security at more than 300 ports around the world. We have been heavily involved in projects to assess and address security at all major U.S. ports and facilities.
Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA/FSA) includes a current threat assessment and an on-scene security survey. To comply with ISPS Code and U.S. requirements, the Port Facility Security Assessment must be performed for each facility and is the basis for the Port Facility Security Plan.
Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP/FSP) establishes how the facility will comply with the ISPS Code. In particular it establishes the position of a Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO/FSO) and identifies the processes and procedures to be followed. We will address any Flag State or RSO issues to ensure approval of your HudsonTrident developed Ship Security Plan. Following approval, we can also provide plan revision services for any regulatory or client requested changes.
Port Security Training Programs are offered through HudsonTrident in partnership with our training division HudsonDynamix. These comprehensive courses include PFSO/FSO and Facility Personnel with Specific Security Duties. They are certified by DNV and based on the latest U.S. and IMO requirements. They are aimed at assisting our port and facility clients in meeting their mandatory MTSA ’02 and ISPS code compliance.
