Best Management Practice (BMP) Maritime Security (MS) consolidates previously published regional BMP documents into a single, comprehensive publication. It focuses on a threat and risk management process addressing globally applicable threats and mitigations, as well as providing references to external sources for up to date regional information. The purpose of this publication is to help all ships plan their voyage and to detect, avoid, deter, delay and report attacks and incidents wherever they may occur. Experience has shown following the recommendations BMP offers makes a significant difference to the safety of seafarers.
