Global maritime security has been through radical changes in recent years. Many changes were necessary and long overdue, but others seem to have created situations in which the only beneficiaries appear to be the providers of security services and equipment. Against this background, this book sets out to provide a reality check. It brings together a range of different perspectives of key maritime issues from around the world. It includes chapters that explore the operational, policy and legal realities of the new maritime security measures instigated post-9/11.This book is aimed at those with an interest in any dimension of the new security measures. This interest might be a general one in maritime security, or it could be a more specifi c one, such as implementing the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, devising and executing practical maritime security measures both at sea and in port, or in assessing security threats and risks inherent in the vast and often opaque realm of international shipping. Hopefully, everyone will find something of interest in this book.
