SECTION 1
Introduction
PFSP Template
In order to assist PFSOs in ensuring that their PFSPs meet the necessary legal requirements, and to ensure rapid and effective approval of plans by DfT, this PFSP template has been developed and must be used by all port facilities when drawing up their plans. The layoutof the template reflects the layout in the UKMSM, where possible, to ensure completion of the plan is as simple as possible.
The template can be found at:
Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA)
A PFSA will be undertaken by DfT with input from the PFSO and other relevant port facility staff. They are predominantly conducted on site. The PFSA must look at the assets at a port facility, the threats applicable to that site and the vulnerabilities that may be present. They are valid for 5 years (unless the relevance of the PFSA has been affected by operational changes at the port facility) and approved by DfT
Schematics
Annex A of your PFSP mustinclude a schematic showing clearly the location of all Restricted Areas (delineated in red ink), Temporary Restricted Areas (delineated in green ink), Controlled Buildings and access points to all of the above, and the location of all CCTV cameras, search points and the overall boundary of the port facility (delineated in blue ink).
PFSP Submission
Upon completion of the template, PFSPs must be sent to DfT for approval. Due to the classification of this document completed PFSPs must only be sent via secure communications.
PFSP Amendments
From time to time it will be necessary to submit PFSP amendments to DFT. It is important that all interested parties have an up to date copy of the PFSP. It is advisable that the PFSP is configured in such a way that allows pages to be easily replaced when being amended. Where possible, DfT would prefer an electronic copy of the whole plan, submitted via secure communications. All changes must be accompanied with a revision sheet, clearly setting out what changes have been undertaken. The same rules for submission apply, as above.
Search Percentages
A Security Standard Matrixwill be issued to facilitiesfor each protection category (PAX – CRR – COG – OBC), which will define the percentage of searching required. These search percentages will be subject to review on a regular basis, and will be valid from the date of issue.
