SOBRE A MSC CIRC. 1111 GUIDANCE RELATING TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLAS CHAPTER XI-2 AND THE ISPS CODE
FPSOS AND FSOS
ITEM 18 - The Committee recalled that MSC 77 decided that neither of the two types of floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSOs) and floating storage units (FSUs), were ships subject to the provisions of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and of part A of the ISPS Code, but, however, they should have some security procedures in place to prevent contamination of ships and port facilities which are required to comply with the provisions of chapter XI-2 and of part A of the ISPS Code. This decision is reflected in paragraph 3 of MSC/Circ.1097 on Guidance relating to the implementation of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code.
ITEM 20 - As FPSOs and FSUs operate as part of offshore oil production facilities, it can be expected that the State on whose continental shelf or within whose “Exclusive Economic Zone” the activity is being undertaken will have developed appropriate security measures and procedures under its national law to protect its offshore activities.
CIRC. 1111, IMO invites Maritime Authorities, that have an offshore installation in their Jurisdictional Waters to develop appropriate security measures and procedures under its national Law to protect its offshore activities.
