Abstract

The ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Security Code) is an international code on the safety of ships and port facilities, where every ship and port of the member states of the convention is obliged to implement all the rules set out in the international convention on the safety of life at sea. This rule was enforced on July 1, 2004. The purpose of this study is to find out how the ISPS Code is implemented in MT. Medelin Expo to prevent threats that occur. This study uses qualitative research methods with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature studies. The subjects in this study were 3 informants. The type of data used is primary data. The results of this study can be concluded that the formal implementation of the ISPS Code has been carried out according to procedures. However, implementation in the field still leaves a number of significant weaknesses. This can be seen from the weak access control, the poor night lighting system, and the lack of security training for all  crew members and  the security level status is not adjusted to the actual situation. In addition, there are several technical factors such as the unavailability of CCTV in critical areas, unsupportive communication equipment (HT), and uneven security awareness among the crew are the main causes of the incident. In addition,  the  infrequent and monotonous implementation of security drills also causes the crew to be less prepared to respond to real threat situations.
