PORT FACILITY ISPS CODE COMPLIANCE DECLARATIONS RENEWED

The Port of Casablanca’s car carrier terminal and multi-purpose terminal facilities were re-certified as compliant with the ISPS Code in February 2024 by the Ministry of Equipment and Water, following an update of the security assessments and plans for the East Terminal, the Carrier Terminal, and the Multipurpose Terminal. This five-year renewal is part of our Terminal Safety Improvement program.

The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, which went into force on July 1st, 2004 under Chapter XI-2 of the SOLAS Convention, forms the basis of a comprehensive, mandatory security regime for the international shipping industry.

In particular, the ISPS Code aims to create an international framework that fosters cooperation between contracting governments, government agencies, local administrations, and the maritime and port sectors, in order to assess and detect potential threats to the security of ships and port facilities used in international trade, as well as to implement preventive security measures against these same threats.
