Port Security Regulations 2009 implementation: Port of Londonderry

The purpose of Directive 2005/65/EC, which is implemented by the Port Security Regulations 2009 in the UK, is to enhance security coordination in the wider port area (as opposed to the immediate ship or port interface which is covered by Regulation (EC) 725/2004). The directive requires the:

• designation of a port security authority (PSA)
• appointment of a port security officer
• conducting of a port security assessment
• creation of a port security plan

The draft Designation Order for Londonderry appends draft PSA boundary plans which define the area the PSA will cover for the purposes of this directive. The area lies entirely within Northern Ireland.
