APEC Manual of Maritime Security Drills and Exercises for Port Facilities
PREFACE
Under the provisions of the ISPS Code Part A, Sections 18.3 and 18.4 and Part B,
Sections 18.4, 18.5 and 18.6, Port Facilities are required to conduct maritime
security drills at least every three months and participate in maritime security
exercises at least once a calendar year, with no more than 18 months between
exercises.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), specifically, the APEC

Transportation Working Group, recognized the need to assist Port Facilities with
guidelines for the conduct of maritime security drills and exercises so that they
may comply faithfully with the ISPS requirements. These guidelines are therefore
published as part of the APEC Transportation Working Group’s technical
assistance program through the MEG-SEC.
The Manual was revised following feedback from APEC member economies on
the Aug 2008 version. This Manual has been revised to streamline and simplify
yet provide more assistance in the planning, preparation for, conduct, debrief and
reporting of maritime security drills and exercises. Scenarios have also been
revised to incorporate recent security threats in order to keep this Manual relevant.
The Manual now comprises three Volumes – Volume I for Guidelines for the
Planning and Conduct of Drills and Exercise, Volume II for different scenarios for
Drills and Volume III for different scenarios for Exercises.
Volume I comprising two parts, Part 1 for Drills and Part 2 for Exercises, provides
guidelines for the planning and conduct of Maritime Security Drills and Exercises.
It provides a sequential process for the planning and conduct of drills and
exercises which may be used as a reference by users of the Manual.
Volume II comprises a menu of pre-planned Maritime Security Drills that users

can adopted fully or adapted for use as required. These Drills are prefixed with “D”,
and are purposefully categorized with a collection of similar sets of drills according
to the security functions to be acted upon such as D1 - Access Control, D2 -
Contiguous Zone Security and D3 - Materials Handling etc.
Volume III comprises a menu of pre-planned of Maritime Security Exercises that

users can adopt fully or adapt for use as required. These Exercises are prefixed
with “E”, and are purposefully categorized into Tabletop Exercises (TE) and Live
Exercises (LE) to be initiated and conducted by the Port Facility.
Users are encouraged to refer to Volume I when organising and/or planning for
the Drill or Exercise as well as for post drill activities. Volume 2 and 3 will be
useful during the conduct of the drill and exercise.

applicable)
c. ISPS Code
INTRODUCTION
1. The International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) Code regards drills as tool for
the effective implementation of the port facility security plan and recommends
that drills be conducted regularly. This part of the Manual outlines the various
steps to be taken in organising, planning and execution of a drill as well as to
provide the underlying reasons for these steps.
2. Drills are managed events involving security personnel in the practice of

specific activities with the objective of meeting a particular operating
requirement. Drills are generally limited in scope to specific procedures. They
are conducted frequently to maintain or improve performance and are usually
conducted within the organization, in this case the Port Facility. Being
relatively simple to execute, minimal planning and management is required.
Drills are targeted at the operative level of a Port Facility’s organization and
developing personnel to maintain a high level of readiness against maritime
security threats.
BASICS OF DRILL
3. Drills are conducted with a specific purpose. This purpose and how it would be
achieved is outlined in the Aims and Objectives. The drill will involve two
groups of people; the controllers and the players. The controllers are the
people who will organise, plan and carry out the drill so as to achieve the aims
and objective. The players, operating the security equipment and following
established procedures, are those who are being “tested” in the drill.
4. A more elaborate drill or certain drills may require a story to establish the
setting and a story line so that various activities relating to the drill can be
carried out. It may be necessary for both controllers and players to know the
setting of the story and this can be achieved in the pre-drill briefings.
5. After the drill is completed, it will be necessary to gather everybody involved

(controllers and players) so that a review can be held to determine if the aims
and objectives of the drills were met. In addition, things that went well should
be noted and things that did not go well can be improved for the subsequent
drills.

INITIATION
6. The PFSO will play an integral role in the conduct of drills at the Port Facility
for he or she has been tasked to implement and exercise the port facility
security plan.
Scheduling and Obtaining Budget for Drills

7. The ISPS Code recommends for drills to be conducted at least every three
months. It is recommended that the drills are scheduled in the annual work
plan for the port facility so that a schedule of drills can be drawn up. In addition,
it may be necessary to obtain a budget to pay for expenses that may be
incurred during the drills.
8. If the local authority schedules and conducts maritime security exercises on an

annual basis and involves Port Facilities in these exercises, consider
scheduling a drill to coincide with the exercise to add realism and to leverage
on the resources that may be committed by the local authority.
Drill Announcement
9. For the drill to take place, the Organiser (recommended to the Port Facility
Security Officer, or a designated representative), should kick off the process.
10. In the event of a stand-alone drill, it is recommended that the preparation for
the actual drill be started at least a month before the scheduled date. It may be
necessary to give a wider range of dates if the schedule of participants
(especially ship or external parties) cannot be confirmed yet or the exact dates
may change due to last minute unforseen circumstances. To initiate the
preparation, the Organiser should send a Drill Announcement to members of
the Drill Planning & Control Team to inform them of their involvement and to
senior members of the management to keep them informed. This Drill
Announcement should be sent out earlier if the Organiser deems it necessary
to provide more time for planning especially in the case where a more complex
drill is desired.
Refer to Annex A for a Sample Drill Announcement.
PARTICIPANTS
11. A drill usually involves 2 groups of participants; the Drill Planning & Control
Team (DPCT) and the players. The members of the DPCT have to be
identified and informed early in order to allow planning to begin. To inject
realism, the PFSO can consider not informing the players of the exact drills to
be carried out so as to check on their readiness.

Drill Planning & Control Team

12. Every drill, simple or complex, must have someone to control the events and
interact with the participants and to shape the outcome. These persons are all
part of the Drill Planning & Control Team or DPCT and consists of the
following:
• Chief Controller. The Chief Controller is overall in charge. He/she
should have sufficient experience in planning and conducting a drill and
is familiar the plans and procedures.
• Controllers. These are individuals that monitor and guide the conduct of
the drill by providing inputs and information to the participants.
Controllers need to have good understanding of the objectives of the
drill as well as working knowledge of plans and procedures. Controllers
monitor, track and report drill activities, and provide injects from the
Master Event Lists and generally guide the activities to achieve the drill
objectives.
• Simulators. They provide interface between the players and non-
participating real world organisation or people. For example, simulators
can assume the role of intruders or personnel from the delivery
company.
See Appendix 1 for the Tasks of the Control Team .
Players.
13. These are subject of the drill and are generally personnel performing their
normal employment task, such as security guards or other individuals in the
security organisation of the Port Facility.
Safety Officer
14. All Drills will have an element of risk especially when realism is desired. The
key point to note is not to have zero risk during the Drills but to manage the
risk accordingly. When all reasonable safety precautions have been observed,
unforeseen accidents that may occur should not be occasions for the laying of
blame, rather for valuable lessons to be drawn.
15. As actual activities are involved in drills, it may be necessary to have one or
more independent persons to oversee various safety aspects of the drill. The
Safety Officer should preferably be familiar with risk assessment/risk mitigation
and should review the safety aspects of the scenario, events in the Master
Events List relating to the ground resources and all equipment to be used in
order to ensure the safe conduct of the drill.
16. Where possible, the Safety Officer, if appointed, should monitor actual events
in order to oversee their safe conduct. The Safety Officer should be stationed
where he/she would be:
• Able to observe the majority of events
• Near where potentially hazardous activity may take place

• Accessible should he/she be required in a contingency
17. The Tasks of the Safety Officer are given in Appendix 2.
LOGISTICS
18. Certain drills may require the use of vehicles, equipments or props to make it
realistic. As such, these resources should also be planned for and its
availability checked. It may even be necessary to provide refreshment or even
meals if the drill duration requires it. Some of the logistics to consider are:
• Briefing Room – Need to be big enough to hold all participants for
briefing/debriefing. A projector, computer(s), stationery, chairs and
tables will be needed.
• Food and Refreshments – If required.
• Office equipment and supplies – These will be required to support the
planning, and will include computers, photocopiers, printers and
stationery.
• Vehicles, equipment, props and additional personnel – Where required,
it may be necessary to hire additional persons, vehicles, equipments or
acquire props for the drill.
BUDGET
19. Certain expenses may be necessary for the planning, conduct as well as post-
drill activities. Specifically, funds may be needed for the items listed above. If
fund has already been allocated, the drill may have to be planned to be within
the budget unless additional budget can be obtained.
PLANNING FOR THE DRILL
Planning Meeting(s)
20. The Drill Announcement will provide the date, time and location for the
planning meeting(s). The planning meeting, as its name implies, brings
together members of the Drill Planning & Control Team (DPCT) to plan for the
drill. Depending on the complexity of the drill and the experience of the DPCT,
more planning meetings may be required. A sample of an agenda for planning
meeting is given in Appendix 3.
Establishing the Aim(s) and Objective(s)

21. Drills can be conducted for various reasons. For example, drills can be used to
maintain a high level of readiness, let players practise hands-on skills, test
readiness of equipment, or to test the robustness of procedures relating to the
detection and deterrence of maritime security threats

22. Members of the DPCT are responsible for establishing the aims and objectives
of the drill. More complex drills may have a few aims and objectives. It is
important to describe the aim and objectives so as to be very clear on what is
to be achieved by the drill.
23. Inputs for the objectives may be obtained from:

• Port Facility Security Plan. The Port Facility Security Plan will provide
the basis on which to build the objectives for a specific drill or series of
drills. This is because all drills should be targeted at exercising some
aspects of the Plan.
• Lessons Learnt from previous drills: There is usually the need to assess
the effectiveness of measures taken in response to findings from the
outcome of drills conducted previously. These will form one basis for the
formulation of objectives for the next drill.
24. Properly worded objectives would provide clear means to measure the
success of the drills
Select the type of drill

25. Based on the aim(s) and objective(s) of the drill, the next task the planning
agenda is to identify the exact drill to be conducted. The following factors may
guide the selection of the type of drill for a particular quarter:
• A masterplan for a series of drills with the same (or similar) theme that
may be of increasing in complexity in scenario, threat level and/or level
of participation.
• A specific type of threat that is of current interest
• Recently identified weakness or lapses in security
• Revision and test of lessons learnt from the previous drill
26. Drills may be selected from the menu provided in Volume 2 of the Books of
Maritime Security Drills of the APEC Manual.
Duration
27. It is recommended that the drill takes place over 3 days. The actual drill itself
will likely be completed in a working day or less. However, it is recommended
to conduct briefings and setting-up, if any, the day before and debriefing the
day after the drill. The debrief is important as it allows any learning point from
the entire process of planning and conduct of the drill to be captured.
Creating the Scenario

28. A credible “cops-and-robbers” tale lends realism and a sense of excitement to
the drill. The storyboard will set the scene and focus all participants on the

events as they unfold. It would be useful and relevant to use actual recent
events as the background for the drill.
Create the Master Event List

29. The Master Events List is a comprehensive list of events associated with the
scenario. These events (known as “Injects”) are based on the objectives
identified earlier and may be time-based or event-based. Time-based events
are usually initiated by the controllers while event-based inject may be
triggered by the response from the participants. When initiated, the events
may reasonably be expected to elicit a response from the participants that will
generate a specific outcome or learning point.
30. The Master Events List should not be regarded as being cast in stone and the
Injects list should be managed by the principal controller as if directing a movie.
Where required, especially during the conduct of the drill when response with
merit from participants differ from expected actions, follow-on injects may be
modified in order to meet the objectives set.
See Appendix 4 for a Sample Master Events List
Communications Plan
31. It is recommended that the communication plan makes use of the existing
communication facilities unless a new communications arrangement is being
tested during the drill.
32. It would be necessary to be on a separate network from the players. For

example, controllers would use a different channel or frequency for walkie
talkie or VHF. Other means of communication can include mobile phone,
landline telephone, fax, email or other means.
Codewords
33. Codeword are usually simple words that have specific meanings, they provide
brevity and clarity and promotes effective communications and understanding
during the conduct of the drill. Codeword should be generated and made
known to all participants. The following Codewords are recommended for use
in all drills and additional codewords may be generated for specific
circumstances.
See Appendix 5 for a sample list of Codewords that may be used.
Safety
34. Controllers with roles as intruders or drivers, etc. should be issued with a letter
of identification provided in Appendix 6 to forestall any undesirable action or
behaviour on the part of security staff toward them.

Policy for disclosure

35. The Chief Controller should decide if the drill is to be announced or
unannounced (i.e. participants such as security staff will not be notified of the
conduct of the drill beforehand).
36. In deciding the mode, the following may be taken into consideration:
• Security - Where it is assessed that confidentiality is uncertain or
difficult to maintain, it is preferable to opt for an announced drill,
• Organizational culture - Unannounced drills may be perceived as a test
of the participants.
• Whether the drill is likely to impact the ship, crew, agents, suppliers or
contractors, as stores delivery will be affected. If there is impact, the
ship should be notified of the drill in advance.
Endorsement
37. If the management so requires, approval should be sought at this stage for the
conduct of the drill, elaborating on the details from the planning process
outlined above, including the budgetary and other resource requirements.
Nonetheless, the management should be informed of the drill prior to its
conduct, even if formal approval is not required.
Security
38. Consideration should be given to the possible disclosure of confidential
information (e.g. details in the PFSP) in all exchanges connected with this drill,
and appropriate precautions taken to avoid the release of such information to
persons not authorized to receive it. A rule of thumb is the principle of “need to
know” meaning sensitive information should me made known only to person
who “need to know” it to do their job. For example, if external parties are
engaged to participate in the drill (likely as the participants), they should not
need to know the various security processes or procedures in place at the port
facility.
Administrative
39. To facilitate the conduct of the drill and to ensure all participants and interested
parties are aware, an Administrative Instruction should be provided to all
participants before the beginning of the drill, by which time, all planning for the
drill should have been completed. This instruction should cover the intentions,
objectives, schedule; and personnel, communications, logistics and
administrative arrangements for the exercise.
Refer to Annex B for a Sample Administrative Instruction.

CONDUCTING THE DRILL
Briefing.
40. The planning and control team must be briefed on the aim and objectives of
the drill so that they may contribute effectively to the planning process that
follows. Separate briefings should be provided for the “controllers” and the
players.
41. The “controllers” must be briefed prior to the conduct of the drill to ensure
consistency in the delivery of injects, and providing guidance to participants as
the drill unfolds. Participants receiving conflicting instructions, erroneous
reports or poorly timed inputs will be at least distracted, or worse, become
disinterested. If necessary, the drill could be rehearsed with the controllers
with some of them role-playing as the players. If this is desired, sufficient time
should be provided for such a rehearsal.
42. Players should be briefed just before the drill. While Players are for the most
part expected to perform their regular tasks, drills should be conducted
primarily as a learning experience for all, rather than as a competition between
the controllers and the Players. Thus, while Players need not be told the exact
details of the drill, they should be aware of the objectives and especially the
required attainments. The lessons learnt from previous drills of the same
nature should also be reviewed during the briefing.
Appendix 7 for Pointers for Briefing
Conduct
43. All personnel, controllers and players, should be at their respective stations
before the specified commencement time. It may be necessary to provide all
participants with some time before the drill commences for them to settle in
and to check the systems, especially the communication links.
44. Generally, drills should commence on the specified time, as this will minimize
the need for communications. The first event from the Injects List may also be
used to initiate the drill. As the drill progresses, events from the Injects List
are ”injected” to keep the scenario in motion. If necessary, injects and scenario
may be modified as the drill progresses to ensure that the objectives can be
met.
45. Drills may be temporarily halted facility-wide or at a specific location for a

number of reasons:
• Safety is compromised – Where the controller(s) observe that safety
has become a concern, they should halt the drill to address the
concerns, and re-commence only when they are satisfied that the
issues have been resolved satisfactorily. If necessary, the drill can be
ended.

• On-The-Spot Learning Experience - A particular lesson needs to be

demonstrated or reinforced - Controllers and/or Players may spot a
point or a lesson that is of special interest. It may be necessary to
highlight the point immediately to reinforce the lessons to be derived
from it. If this requires that “play” on the drill be suspended temporarily,
then it certainly would be worthwhile to do so.
• “Time-out” - Difficulties faced by controllers and/or Players in continuing
the conduct of the drill – Any number of concerns or difficulties may
arise during the conduct of the drill to warrant its suspension or
termination. This would be determined on the spot by the Chief
Controller
CONCLUDING THE DRILL
Termination
46. The plan must include instructions for the actions and activities relating to the
end of the drill. Upon termination of the drill, some time should be allocated for
the Controllers and Players to gather their thoughts on the events to prepare
for the “hot wash-up” or debrief. The duration would be dependent on the
nature/complexity of the drill. Time should also be provided for housekeeping
i.e. recovery, accounting and stowage of materials, restoration of services, etc.
POST DRILL ACTIVITES
Restoring Services
47. Should any services be disrupted during the drill, the first priority should be to
resume these services to enable daily activities to be carried out.
Hot-Wash
48. Hot-wash-up is a form of quick debrief which is to be carried out as soon as
possible after the drill has been completed when the events are still fresh in
the minds of the participants. The purpose is to capture the actions,
observations and sequence of events at the lowest level possible. A note taker
should be appointed to record the actions and events. For example, a team of
security personnel sent to investigate a suspicious package will have to record
their actions and the sequence of events, while the controllers will also capture
their actions, observations and sequence of events from their perspective.
Debrief
49. The primary purpose of debrief is to consolidate the lessons learnt from the
conduct of the drill. Thus, debrief is an essential part of the drill and must not
be omitted. Debriefs can be conducted the day after the Drill such that
feedback from hot-wash-up can be collated and analysed.
50. All participants, both controllers and players, should be present for the debrief
to be conducted by the Chief Controller.
51. Suggestions for improvements and lesson learnt, if any, should be presented
based on the Aim, Objectives and more so, the Specific Objectives and
Required Attainments of the Drill. These will also allow all in attendance to be
fully cognizant of the records.
Appendix 7 – Pointers for Hot Wash and Debriefs
Reports
52. A written or oral report should be submitted to management as it serves as a
record of the event and the lessons learnt. In addition, it is recommended that
a briefing on the drill be given at a management meeting to apprise top
management of the proceedings should a written report be submitted. This will
allow issues requiring management intervention to be given due attention,
especially those involving financial needs for actions required as a result of
lessons learnt during the drill.
Annex C – Format for Reports
Records
53. The ISPS Code requires that drills be conducted by Port Facilities at least
once in every three months. A simple record of the conduct of the drill may be
kept as evidence of compliance.
A sample format for an ISPS Drills and Exercises Record Book is given in
Appendix 8.

APPENDIX 1 – TASKS OF CONTROLLERS / SIMULATORS
1. Any activity benefits from good management, and a drill is no different – in

order to ensure success, it must be properly managed. Therefore a team will
be needed to plan and conduct the drill. The individuals are known as
controllers, and the head of the team is known as the Chief Controller.
2. Controllers are responsible for the following:
i. Work out the time-table.
ii. Determine the objectives
iii. Plan the scenario.
iv. List the injects or events that will take place during the drill, relating
each inject or event to a specific objective to be achieved or the
development of the scenario for the drill.
v. Arrange for the logistics and other resources such as communications,

etc. for the conduct of the drill.
vi. Prepare and issue various instructions for the drill.
vii. Brief the participants on the nature, objectives and desired outcomes for
the drill.
viii. Conduct the drill by initiating and developing the scenario using injects
so that participants may respond.
ix. Conduct debrief to gather feedback on the lessons learnt.
x. Identify areas for improvement in procedures, materials or resources for

the performance of the drill.
xi. Prepare the report to management on the conduct of the drill.
xii. Enter a record of the drill in the organization’s official record of events.
3. Simulators are responsible for the following:
i. Carry out their tasks as assigned by the Controllers.
ii. Follow additional instructions by the Controllers, if any
iii. Provide feedbacks, if any, to the Controllers.
Volume 1 Part 1 Appendix 1

1. To examine the plans for the drill and perform a risk assessment on the
proposed events, injects and probable actions and their outcomes.
2. To develop mitigation plans for high risk activities.
3. To be present at the scene of action where the safety risk is assessed to be

high at any point during the conduct of the drill to monitor the safety situation.
4. To advise the Exercise Director of any potential breaches of safety.
5. To intervene immediately if it assessed that safety is likely to be compromised

by any of the ensuing action.

applicable)
c. ISPS Code
INTRODUCTION
1. The International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) Code regards exercises as
tool for the effective implementation of the port facility security plan and
recommends that exercises be conducted regularly. This part of the Manual
explains the various steps to be taken in organising, planning and execution of
an exercise by the port facility as well as to provide the underlying reasons for
these steps.
2. The changing maritime security environment meant that port facilities must
examine situations of increasing complexity. Where it may have been
adequate to plan for events of significant probability, there is a need, with the
proliferation of terrorism, to consider situations of unlimited possibilities.
Exercises provide the structured environment to step through the thought
processes essential to contingency planning and reveal best solutions in any
given set of circumstances.
3. The ISPS Code recognizes the scale of exercises as possibly being beyond
the scope of some Port Facilities, and as such, Port Facility Security Officer
may choose to participate in exercises for which the responsibility for conduct
is directed at a level beyond the Port Facility (Part B paragraph 18.6).
Nonetheless, port facilities have to ensure that, should they participate in these
exercises, they are to achieve their objectives in taking part.
4. The Annexes and Appendices provide various documents and templates that
may assist users in organising, planning and executing Exercises.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRILLS AND EXERCISES

5. Drills are live activities that are limited to specific procedures usually involving
participants from the same organisation or agency and, as such, have a simple
management structure. They are conducted frequently (ISPS Code require
quarterly) to ensure proficiency and quality of performance and are used to
teach repetitive or psychomotor skills that are intended to become “second
nature” with the objective of maintaining a high level of readiness, practise
hands-on skills, test equipment, test procedures. It is worth noting the ISPS for
drills is directly linked to testing individual elements of the security plan.
6. Exercises, on the other hand, are held less frequently and are usually larger
scale, more complex training events when compared to drills. The purpose is
to test and update the facility security plan and associated response plan.
Exercises require more complex planning and lead time and will require the
formation of an Exercise Planning & Control Team.
TYPES OF EXERCISES
7. The ISPS Code list the following types of exercises, in increasing levels of
complexity:
• Seminar – A seminar is a short duration (few hours) event where
speakers present topics to a large audience. There may be facilitator-
led discussions with the participants. It can be used as a form of
preparation for a tabletop exercise. Topics such as best practices in
security procedures, sharing their experience with actual security
incidents, anticipated threats, etc will be helpful in creating awareness
and improving the general readiness. Seminars are relatively easy to
organise and will not be the focus of this Manual.
• Tabletop – Tabletop exercise is essentially a discussion held around a
table for participants. The scenario can be as simple or as complex as
required by the port facility. It can be used to familiarise the participants
with the established procedures, used as a tool to evaluate the
robustness of the existing procedures or to examine new threats and
develop the measures to counter them. It can even be as a precursor to
a Full Scale/Live Exercise. Depending on the objective of the exercise,
the personnel involved will vary. For example, if the purpose of the
exercise is to examine new threats and to develop the measures to
counter them, it is likely that only supervisory/middle management and
above personnel are involved.
• Full Scale or Live – These exercises simulate real events as much as
possible. It will involve the mobilisation and movement of personnel,
equipment and resources. The exercise is controlled by “controllers”
with the simulators playing the role of adversaries. Live exercises are
more complex to organise compared to tabletop exercises due to
logistics, manpower and coordination requirements.
SCOPE OF EXERCISES
8. The scope (and thus scale) of an Exercise can take the following forms:
• Port Facility – These exercises are held by the port facility and will only
involve personnel from the port facility and its partners. The focus of this
manual will be on exercises that are to be held at the port facility level.
A port facility exercise can be a table top exercise or a live exercise.
• National – Such exercises may involve not only port facilities, but also
other transportation nodes and other branches of the government such
as the armed forces, etc. If participating in such exercise to meet ISPS
requirement, port facilities should have their own objectives to test its
security plans.

BASICS OF EXERCISES
9. Exercises are essentially a collection of drills and involve two groups of people;
the controllers/simulators and the players. Due to the more complex nature,
there will be a larger number of controllers needed to organise, plan and
facilitate the exercise as compared to a drill. Security personnel, supervisory
and management staff may also be “tested” in exercises as well.
10. Exercises allow multiple facets of the security plan to be put into action when
compared to a drill. For example, an exercise may involve Contiguous Zone
Security, Access Control and Materials Handling. In addition, because
exercises can cover more activities, the scope of exercises will be broader and
the aims and objectives of exercises should reflect this as well.
11. Like drills, there will also be a need to have a scenario and storyline to base
the exercise upon. Volume III of this Manual provides several scenarios that
port facilities may adopt or adapt as necessary to suit their need when
conducting the exercise. Finally, there will be a review to determine if the aims
and objectives were achieved as well as what was done well and what can be
achieved for future exercises. The review should also make recommendations
for changes or improvements to the security plan and procedures, if needed.
INITIATION
12. For a port facility level exercise, the head of the department responsible for
security would be the person to start the ball rolling in organising the exercise.
For an exercise at the port authority level, the head of department responsible
for port security would likely be the one to do so.
Scheduling and Obtaining Budget

13. The ISPS Code requires that exercises “should be carried out at least once
each calendar year with no more than 18 months between the exercises”. An
exercise, especially a live one, will require more resources than a drill and may
impact the normal business of the port facility. As such, it should be
scheduled as far ahead as possible such that the disruption can be minimised.
14. If Contracting Government agencies and/or the Designated Authority

schedules and conducts maritime security exercises on an annual basis and
involves port facilities in these exercises, respective port facilities should plan
to incorporate their requirements into the exercise.
Exercise Announcement
15. To kick off the exercise, an Exercise Announcement should be sent to
members of the Exercise Planning & Control Team to inform them of their
involvement, and the management of the port facility for their information.
Refer to Annex A for a Sample Exercise Announcement.

16. Depending on the type of exercise and complexity of the exercise, sufficient
time should be provided to book the assets and to plan and prepare. This may
be easier if the exercise has been scheduled for in the port facility’s workplan.
In this Manual, the suggested lead time is 1 month. However, depending on
the complexity of the exercise and experience of the port facility, a longer lead
time may be required.
PARTICIPANTS
17. An exercise usually involves 2 groups of participants; the controllers/simulators
and the players. The entire exercise is overseen by the Exercise Director.
See Appendix 1 for the Responsibilities of the Exercise Director.
Exercise Planning & Control Team

18. The controllers/simulators form the Exercise Planning & Control Team (EPCT)
that, as the name imply, plans and oversees the conduct of the exercise. The
EPCT consists of the following:
• Chief Controller. The Chief Controller is overall in charge of the EPCT.

He/she should have sufficient experience in planning and conducting an
exercise and is familiar the plans and procedures.
• Controllers. These are individuals that monitor and guide the conduct of
the exercise by providing inputs and information to the participants.
Controllers need to have good understanding of the objectives of the
exercises as well as working knowledge of plans and procedures.
Controllers monitor, track and report exercise activities, and provide
injects from the Master Event Lists and generally guide the activities to
achieve the exercise objectives.
• Evaluators. In order to effective measure the success of the exercise,
the details of the exercise must be captured. If the manpower resources
allow, dedicated evaluators should be appointed. If not, members of the
EPCT may be appointed for this role.
• Simulators. They provide interface between the players and non-
participating real world organisation or people. For example, simulators
can assume the role of intruders or personnel from the delivery
company.
See Appendix 2 for the Tasks of the Control Team.
Players.
19. These are subject of the Exercise and are usually the personnel from units on
the ground performing the actual tasks as well as their
supervisory/management staff. For Tabletop Exercises, the Players maybe
just the Supervisory level or more senior level of personnel.

Evaluators
20. In order to effectively measure the success of the exercise, the details of the
exercise must be captured. If the manpower resources allow, dedicated
evaluators should be appointed. If not, members of the EPCT may be
appointed for this role.
Exercise Safety Officer

21. All Exercises will have an element of risk especially when realism is desired.
The key point to note is not to have zero risk during the Exercises but to
manage the risk accordingly. When all reasonable safety precautions have
been observed, unforeseen accidents that may occur should not be occasions
for the laying of blame, rather for valuable lessons to be drawn.
22. For live exercises, it may be necessary to have one or more independent
persons to oversee various safety aspects of the exercise. The Exercise
Safety Officer should preferably be familiar with risk assessment/risk mitigation
and should review the safety aspects of the scenario, events in the Master
Events List relating to the ground resources and all equipment to be used in
order to ensure the safe conduct of the exercise.
23. Where possible, the Exercise Safety Officer, if appointed, should monitor
actual events in order to oversee their safe conduct. The Exercise Safety
Officer should be stationed where he/she would be:
• Able to observe the majority of events
• Near where potentially hazardous activity may take place
• Accessible should he/she be required in a contingency
24. The Task of Exercise Safety Officer are given in Appendix 3.

LOGISTICS
25. In terms of the logistics requirements, the demand of a live exercise is
substantially more than that of table top exercise where a briefing room may
be sufficient. Some requirements that may have to be considered are:
• Briefing Room – Need to be big enough to hold all participants for
briefing/debriefing. A projector, computer(s), stationery, chairs and
tables will be needed. For a table top exercise, the entire exercise can
be conducted in this room. This room may also double as the
Controller’s Operations Room but should it be used for such a purpose,
measures should be taken to ensure that sensitive information is kept
away from the players.
• Planning Room(s) – Depending on the scope and complexity of the
exercise, separate rooms may be needed for planning or discussion at
sub-group level. Tables, chairs and stationery will be needed.
• Controllers’ Operations Room – This is where the exercise can be
monitored and controlled by the EPCT. It will be necessary to have the
following:
o A map covering the geographical area of responsibility, on which
may be displayed the activity of interest.
o Master Event List to be checked off as event takes place
o Exercise Clock (may not be synchronised with actual time)
o State boards providing a visual display of the status of various
aspects of the exercise which may be status of
vehicles/vessels/equipment, location of personnel, etc
o Communications means – All communications facilities (telephone
lines, fax lines, internet, email, etc) needed for the conduct of the
exercise must be available.
o Office equipment – Fax, printers, photocopiers, computers,
telephone, fax machines, computers, etc.
• Player’s Operations Room – This is for the use of the players. Most
port facilities will have such a room for the monitoring of daily activities
and it would be ideal to use the actual room to evaluate its adequacy.
However, should the actual operations room be used, measures should
be taken to ensure that actual daily operations is not impacted by the
exercise.
• Food and Refreshments – If required.
• Office equipment and supplies – These will be required to support the
planning, and will include computers, photocopiers, printers and
stationery.
• Vehicles, equipment, props and additional personnel – Where required,
it may be necessary to hire additional persons, vehicles, equipments or
acquire props for the exercise.
26. If the exercise is set to be conducted round the clock or for long durations, it is
necessary to schedule personnel to work in shifts as well as spare equipment
as back up should there be equipment failures. It is also necessary to have
technicians and additional personnel on standby to support the exercise
should there be equipment faults or should exercise personnel fall sick or have
to attend to unforeseen circumstances.
BUDGET
27. Certain expenses may be necessary during the planning, conduct of the
exercise as well as post-exercises. Specifically, funds may be needed for the
items listed above. If fund has already been allocated, the exercise may have
to be planned to be within the budget unless additional budget can be obtained.
EXERCISE PLANNING
Exercise Planning Meetings(s)

28. The Exercise Announcement will provide the date, time and location for the
planning meeting(s). The planning meeting, as its name implies, brings
together members of the Exercise Planning & Control Team (EPCT) or, in the
case of a large exercise, the Planning Group (PG) to plan for the exercise.
Depending on the complexity of the exercise and the experience of the
EPCT/PG, several planning meetings may be required. A Sample Agenda for
Planning Meeting is given in Appendix 4.
Establishing the Objectives

29. The aims of Port facility exercises are to test communication, coordination,
resource availability and responses to maritime security incidents. In order to
develop, conduct and evaluate the exercise and, to improve the plans and
procedures, specific objectives have to be created. Objectives are simple,
measurable, achievable, realistic and task orientated statement and there can
be a few to tens of objectives for a big and complex exercise. The EPCT is
responsible for establishing the objectives of the exercise.
30. Inputs for the objectives may be obtained from:

• Port Facility Security Plan. The Port Facility Security Plan will provide
the basis on which to build the specific objectives.
• Lessons Learnt from previous Exercises. The findings from previous
exercises of the same nature can form the basis for the formulation of
the objectives for the next exercise.
• Changes that impact on Security: Changes to the physical,
organizational, operations, logistics, administrative or threat
environment may impact the existing plan and procedures. The effect of
such changes should be examined in detail, and the findings may form
the basis for developing the objectives for an exercise.
31. Properly worded objectives would provide clear means to measure the
success of the exercise.
Selecting the Exercise

32. Based on the aims and objectives of the exercise, the next task on the
planning agenda is to identify the exact exercise to be conducted. The
following factors may guide the selection of the exercise:
• A master plan for a series of exercises to cover all the possible
scenarios that the port facility or country/region is likely to face.
• A specific type of threat that is of current interest
• Recently identified weakness or lapses in security
• Revision and verification of lessons learnt from the previous exercise.
33. The specific exercise may be selected from the menu provided in APEC
Manual of Maritime Security Exercises & Exercises for Port Facilities – Volume
3: Book of Maritime Security Exercises.
Duration
34. In this Manual, the exercises are designed to be conducted over half a day.
However, port facility may choose to conduct the exercise over a longer period.
Creating the Scenario

35. The setting or scenario for an exercise may describe a maritime security
situation that resonates with all participants i.e. they will be able to recognize,
identify with; and relate to the situation, and sets the storyline as the exercise
unfolds. The scenario will set the scene and focus all participants on the
events. It may be useful and relevant to use recent events as the background
for the exercise. A good scenario would create many possibilities for exercise
play.
Create the Key Events List

36. 36. The Key Events List (KEL) is a list of important events associated with the
exercise. A good analogy is the chapter headings of a book. Due to exercise
artificialities, key events should be identified and a Key Events List (KEL)
should be created first. This creates a frame work for the formulation of
subsequent events and injects to shape the exercise.
37. The KEL will also contain administrative as well as operational events. For
example, it is desired to step up the tempo of the exercise at XXXX hrs and
bring the exercise to a crescendo by YYYY hrs and end the exercise by ZZZZ
hrs.
38. With this “big picture” in mind, injects and events should be created to meet
these events.
Create the Master Inject List

39. The Master Inject List (MIL) is a complete list of all injects, which are events
designed to shape the exercise. Injects are expected to elicit a response from
the participants that will generate a specific outcome or learning point. Thus,
their formulation should be based on the exercise objectives, which may be to
validate specific aspects or processes within a plan.
40. Injects are formed based on the objectives identified earlier and may be time-
based or event-based. Time-based events are usually initiated by the
“Controllers” while event-based inject may be triggered by the response from
the participants. The timing and type of injects should take guidance from the
Key Events List. For example, when the tempo is stepped up, injects should
take place more often and of more serious consequence.
41. For large and complex exercises, it may be more manageable for various
departments to develop injects separately before merging all of them into the
Master Inject List. The Chief Controller should ensure that these injects
complement each other and may also direct the formation of additional injects
where necessary.
42. While the Master Injects List may be used to direct the exercise along a pre-
determined path, it should be subjected to adjustments - additions/deletions as
the exercise unfolds, particularly if these are needed in order to meet the
objectives. However, it should be noted that ad-hoc injects may have ripple
effects on other injects and should be done with caution and due consideration.
Controllers may need to evolve the scenario by exercising their imagination,
creativity and discretion in formulating new events and injects as each is
responded to by the participants.
43. In formulating injects, controllers should keep in mind that players’ ability to
respond should not be swamped. This will be self-defeating, as it often results
in disbelief and dissatisfaction, and invariably detracts from the usefulness of
the exercise.
44. Volume III provides a menu of exercises which may be adapted entirely or
modified as required. A simple way is to incorporate some of the drills from
Volume II into the exercises.
Create the Master Events List

45. When the Key Events List and the Master Injects List are merged it creates the
Master Events List (MEL). As such the MEL is a comprehensive list of all
events associated with the exercise and includes all injects, administrative as
well as operational events.
See Appendix 5 for a Sample Master Events List
Communications Plan
46. Where possible, for live exercises, the communications means and channels
established under the existing Security Plans should be employed by the
participants during the exercise. If a new communications arrangement is
being tested during the exercise, or if special communications equipment
and/or procedures are to be implemented at higher Security Levels, these
communications channels must be set up for the flow of instructions,
messages and reports that will be generated during the exercise.
47. Controllers will require a separate channel of communications among

themselves. Especially for equipment like walkie-talkie or radio, where any
party on the circuit will be able to listen in, it will be necessary to have separate
channels for communication between controllers. This may not be necessary
for point-to-point communication such as phones, emails, fax, etc.
48. In all these cases, arrangements for the equipment and procedures will need
to be made, a communications plan (a sample is provided in Appendix 6)
promulgated and the communications tested prior to the commencement of
the exercise.
49. It is important for communications channels to be fully set up and checked

before the commencement of the exercise proper. It can be very frustrating
and a potential show stopper if communication cannot be properly established
between the participants. For this purpose, a warm-up phase can be
incorporated before the exercise proper.
50. For table top exercises, communications may be verbal, or in the form of email
or paper messages passed physically between participants, and between
controllers and participants. Verbal messages should be recorded in a
message log. Paper messages with simple headings like “Date”, “Time”,
“From”, “To” and if required, “Security Classification” and “Precedence”
(indicates the priority the message should be accorded) should be filed. These
constitute a record of the exercise proceedings and would be useful for the
debrief, and may be destroyed thereafter.

Codewords
51. Codewords are usually simple words that have specific meanings, they
provide brevity and clarity and promote effective communications and
understanding during the conduct of the exercise. Codewords should be
generated and made known to all participants. The following Codewords are
recommended for use in all Exercises and additional codewords may be
generated for specific circumstances.
See Appendix 7 for a Sample List of Codewords that may be used.
Safety
52. Controllers/simulators with roles that require actual interactions with the
players should be issued with a letter of identification (a sample is provided in
Appendix 8) to forestall any undesirable action or behaviour on the part of
security staff toward them.
Policy for disclosure

53. The Chief Controller should decide if the exercise is to be announced or
unannounced (i.e. players such as security staff will not be notified of the
conduct of the exercise beforehand). It should be noted that there are a range
of options ranging from fully announced to fully unannounced. Fully
announced exercises would be such that all participants are fully aware of
what the exercise entails while totally unannounced exercises would be a
surprise to the players. It can be partially announced where players know the
period (but not the exact dates) when the exercise is to be held and the nature
of the exercise (but not the exact scenario). The Chief Controller would have
the discretion of determining the amount of information to be provided to the
players.
54. In deciding the mode, the following may be taken into consideration:
• Security - Where it is assessed that confidentiality is uncertain or
difficult to maintain, it is preferable to opt for an announced exercise,
• Organizational culture - Unannounced exercises may be perceived as a
test of the participants, which may cause unnecessary tension.
• Purpose of the exercise – If the purpose of the exercise is to verify the
procedures, it may be better to have an announced exercise such that
the participants know exactly what to expect and can adopt the
appropriate procedures. However, if the purpose is to test the
readiness, then an unannounced exercise may be more appropriate.
• Whether the exercise is likely to impact the ship, crew, agents, suppliers
or contractors, as stores delivery will be affected. If there is impact, the
ship should be notified of the exercise in advance.

Endorsement
55. At this stage, it may be necessary to seek approval or endorsement for the
conduct of the exercise from management of the various units. It may be
necessary to elaborate on the details from the planning process outlined
above, including the budgetary and other resource requirements. Nonetheless,
the management of the various units should be informed of the exercise prior
to its conduct, even if formal approval or endorsement is not required.
Security
56. Consideration should be given to the possible disclosure of confidential
information (e.g. details in the PFSP) in all exchanges connected with this
exercise, and appropriate precautions taken to avoid the release of such
information to persons not authorized to receive it. A rule of thumb is the
principle of “need to know” meaning sensitive information should me made
known only to person who “need to know” it to do their job. For example, if
external parties are engaged to participate in the exercise (likely as the
participants), they should not need to know the various security processes or
procedures in place.
Administrative
57. To facilitate the conduct of the exercise and to ensure all participants and
interested parties are aware, an Administrative Instruction should be provided
to all participants of the exercise before the beginning of the exercise, by
which time, all planning for the exercise should have been completed. This
instruction should cover the intentions, objectives, schedule; and personnel,
communications, logistics and administrative arrangements for the exercise.
Refer to Annex B for a Sample Administrative Instruction.
58. Where unusual numbers of personnel or their movement is expected as a

result of the conduct of an exercise (e.g. personnel from other offices or the
head office, State administrations, and security forces), some administrative
arrangements will be required. These may include:
• Security passes – Personnel will require the issue of temporary security
passes for access during the exercise. Consideration should be given to
separate “players” and “controller” passes, and the control of movement
indicated by such passes whereby participants may not have access to
control areas such as controller planning rooms.
• Car parks – Where an influx of other personnel is expected for the
exercise, car park space will have to be assigned to avoid
unnecessary conflicts over parking rights.
• Termination – The Administrative Instruction should include the actions
and activities relating to the end of the exercise, such as:
o Assembly or re-deployment of personnel.

o Return, accounting or disposal of materials and equipment.
o Restoration and making-good of property.
CONDUCTING THE EXERCISE
Briefing.
59. As the planning may be done in a compartmentalised manner, it will be
necessary to brief the entire EPCT once the planning is completed and before
the conduct of the exercise. This will ensure consistency in the delivery of
injects and allows the Chief Controller to provide guidance to the controllers
and simulators.
60. Depending if the exercise is announced or unannounced, briefing to the

players may also be carried out. While players are for the most part expected
to perform their regular tasks, exercises should be conducted primarily as a
learning experience for all, rather than as a competition between the EPCT
and the players. Thus, while players need not be told the exact details of the
exercise, they should be aware of the objectives and especially the required
attainments. The lessons learnt from previous exercises of the same nature
should also be reviewed during the briefing.
Appendix 9 for Pointers for Briefing
Conduct
61. If necessary, the controllers could rehearse the key events of the exercise with
some of them role-playing as the players. If this is desired, sufficient time
should be provided for such a rehearsal.
62. A pre-exercise warm-up phase to check the communication links and to get all
participants ready could be considered. If this is desired, additional time should
be provided for this phase.
63. All personnel, controllers and players, should be at their respective stations
before the specified commencement time. It may be necessary to provide all
participants with some time before the exercise commences for them to settle
in and to check the systems, especially the communication links.
64. Generally, exercises should commence on the specified time, as this will
minimize the need for communications. The first event from the Injects List
may also be used to initiate the exercise. As the exercise progresses, events
are ”injected” to keep the exercise in motion. If necessary, injects and
scenario may be modified as the exercise progresses to ensure that the
objectives can be met.
65. Exercises may be temporarily halted facility-wide or at a specific location for a

number of reasons:
• Safety is compromised – Where the controller(s) observe that safety
has become a concern, they should halt the exercise to address the
concerns, and re-commence only when they are satisfied that the
issues have been resolved satisfactorily. If necessary, the exercise can
be ended.
• On-The-Spot Learning Experience – A particular lesson needs to be
demonstrated or reinforced. Controllers and/or Players may spot a
point or a lesson that is of special interest. It may be necessary to
highlight the point immediately to reinforce the lessons to be derived
from it. If this requires that “play” on the exercise be suspended
temporarily, then it certainly would be worthwhile to do so.
• “Time-out” – Difficulties faced by controllers and/or players in
continuing the conduct of the exercise. Any number of concerns or
difficulties may arise during the conduct of the exercise to warrant its
suspension or termination. This would be determined on the spot by the
Chief Controller
Evaluation
66. In order to effective evaluate the exercise, personnel must be specifically
identified to capture the details of the exercise. If manpower resources allow,
dedicated evaluators may be appointed to take notes of key events during the
exercise. Otherwise, members of the EPCT may be appointed to do so.
CONCLUDING THE EXERCISE
Termination
67. The plan must include instructions for the actions and activities relating to the
end of the exercise. However, during the conduct of the exercise, the Exercise
Director may terminate the exercise for a number of reasons, including
situations such as:
• Safety is compromised – Where the safety officer(s) or controller(s)
observe that safety has become a concern, they should halt the
exercise to address the concerns, and re-commence only when they
are satisfied that the issues have been resolved satisfactorily.
• Difficulties or unforeseen events faced by controllers and/or
participants in the conduct of the exercise – Any number of concerns or
challenges may arise during the conduct of the exercise to warrant its
suspension or termination.
68. Upon termination of the exercise, some time should be allocated for the
Controllers and Players to gather their thoughts on the events to prepare for
the “hot wash-up” or debrief. The duration would be dependent on the
nature/complexity of the exercise. Time should also be provided for
housekeeping i.e. recovery, accounting and stowage of materials, restoration
of services, etc.

POST EXERCISE ACTIVITES
Restoring Services
69. Should any services be disrupted during the exercise, the first priority should
be to resume these services to enable daily activities to be carried out.
Hot-Wash
70. Hot-wash-up is a form of quick debrief which is to be carried out as soon as
possible after the exercise has been completed when the events are still fresh
in the minds of the participants. The purpose is to capture the actions,
observations and sequence of events at the lowest level possible. A note taker
should be appointed to record the actions and events.
71. For a large complex exercise, it may be necessary to have different units carry
out the hot-wash up concurrently. For example, a team of security personnel
sent to investigate a suspicious package will have to record their actions and
the sequence of events, while the controllers will also capture their actions,
observations and sequence of events from their perspective.
Debrief
72. The primary purpose of debrief is to consolidate the lessons learnt from the
conduct of the exercise so that the facility security plan and procedures can be
amended as required. . Thus, debrief is an essential part of the exercise and
must not be omitted. Debriefs can be conducted the day after the exercise
such that feedback from hot-wash-up can be collated and analysed.
73. All participants, both controllers and players, should be present for debrief to
be conducted by the Chief Controller.
74. Suggestions for improvements and lesson learnt, if any, should be presented
based on the Aim, Objectives and more so, the Specific Objectives and
Desired Outcomes of the exercise. These will also allow all in attendance to
be fully cognizant of the records.
Appendix 9 – Pointers for Hot Wash and Debriefs
Reports
75. A written report should be submitted to management as it serves as a record
of the event and the lessons learnt. In addition, it is recommended that a
briefing on the exercise be given at a management meeting to apprise top
management of the proceedings should a written report be submitted. This will
allow issues requiring management intervention to be given due attention,
especially those involving financial needs for actions required as a result of
lessons learnt during the exercise. Annex C – Format for Reports

Records
76. The ISPS Code recommends that exercises be conducted once every
calendar year, with not more than 18 months between exercises. A simple
record of the conduct of the Exercise may be kept as evidence of compliance.
A sample format for an ISPS Drills and Exercises Record Book is given in
Appendix 10.

Book of
Maritime Security Drills

PREAMBLE
The collection of maritime security drills that may be conducted by a Port Facility
using Volume 2 (Book of Maritime Security Drills) is in categories as follow:
Book D1 – Maritime Security Drill (Access Control)

Book D2 – Maritime Security Drill (Contiguous Zone Security)
Book D3 – Maritime Security Drill (Materials Handling)
Book D4 – Maritime Security Drill (Emergency Response)
Book D5 – Maritime Security Drill (Ship-Shore Interface)
The provision of the guidelines is to facilitate the planning and conduct of drills by
Port Facilities without the need to make reference to any other instructions, aside
from each organization’s internal regulations. However, it is suggested that
personnel responsible for the planning and conduct of maritime security drills
should be familiar with Part 1 of Volume I - Guidelines for Planning and Conduct
of Maritime Security Drills & Exercises
While Port Facilities are encouraged to conduct as many different types of

security and safety drills as possible provided in the “menu” of the respective
Books of Maritime Security Drills, it is recognized that not all drills will be suitable
for all types of Port Facilities. Thus, each maritime security drill may be either
applied as is or adapted for application. There is no specific sequence
recommended for their conduct. Wherever possible, specific drills should not be
repeated so that a wide range of different drills may be experienced by the Port
Facility’s security staff or agency. However, repetition of the more pertinent drills
may be necessitated by factors such as staff turnover, reinforcement of basic
concepts / requirements or to advance the security staffs’ competency standards.
As the Port Facility security managers become familiar with planning and
conducting these drills, several different types of drills may be combined to make
up a more complex scenario to maximize the benefit from the conduct of the
training event.
The conditions for all drills in this Book of Drills are set at Security Level 1 and 2.
No drills are specified for Level 3 when it is expected that the local authority’s
security apparatus would come in force.
Users of this Book of Drills are strongly encouraged to provide recommendations

and updates through the secretariat of MEG-SEC to maintain currency of this
book.

access to the port facility.
OBJECTIVES
3. Security staff to detect the potential intruder at the perimeter fence within
the time limit.
4. Security staff to respond to the attempted intrusion according to procedures

in the PFSP.
DESIRED OUTCOMES
5. On completion of the drill, port facility security personnel will be able to:
• Detect potential intruders at the perimeter fence.
• Response appropriately to attempted intrusion.
• Deter intrusion to the port facility.
RESOURCES
Personnel
6. Control Team
• Chief Controller – This can be the PFSO
• 2 x intruders. These personnel should NOT be familiar to the
security staff
Volume 2 D1-01 Pg 1
7. Players
• Port Facility security staff.
8. Safety Officer – The appointment of a safety officer for this drill should be
considered due to interactions between the security staff and the
“intruders”.
Material

security measures for a sabotage operation in the future. Each will make
the attempt independently of the other, and at a different time during the
day.
Volume 2 D1-01 Pg 2
TASKS
15. For Controllers:
a. Intruder 1 will approach the perimeter fence at an isolated area of

the port facility with a wire cutter from the outside and will act
suspiciously at the perimeter fence for about 15minutes. If not
challenged by the security staff, the intruder will attempt to scale the
perimeter fence but this should not be attempted if it is too difficult or
dangerous to do so.
b. Intruder 2 will approach a rarely used side gate from outside the port
facility with a bolt cutter and will act suspiciously for about 15minutes.
If not challenged by the security staff, the intruder will attempt to
scale the perimeter fence but this should not be attempted if it is too
difficult or dangerous to do so.
c. The Chief Controller will conduct the drill in accordance with the
events listed in the Master Events List.
d. The Chief Controller should position himself at a suitable location to

discreetly observe the proceedings.
e. The Safety Officer should follow the security staff as they carry out
the drills.
16. For Players. Security staff is to be alert to the suspicious behavior and
take necessary actions.

INTRODUCTION
1. Port Facilities have key infrastructure and Restricted Areas where
important control systems, plant, machinery or cargo are located. Activity
within the Restricted Area should be carefully regulated and monitored.
Any loading or unloading of cargo or ships stores in a Restricted Area
would likely require prior approval. As Restricted Areas may be areas of
relatively lower activity and traffic, they may be an ideal location within the
Port Facility for the handling of contraband. Thus, any suspicious activities,
should be noted and promptly checked.
AIM
2. To enhance the proficiency of port facility security staff in monitoring
Restricted Areas in the port facility.
OBJECTIVES
3. Security staff to detect suspicious activities in the Restricted Areas within
the time limit as specified in the PFSP

Subject Vehicle delivering cargo without proper documents
INTRODUCTION
1. Cargo delivered to a ship at a Port Facility has to undergo several security
checks, the first being to confirm the cargo against its bill of lading. These
security checks should be performed by the Port Facility efficiently in order
to expedite the cargo handling process. Speed should not over-ride
security and accuracy in consignment, however, and Port Facility security
staff is expected to verify cargo documents conscientiously. Port Facility
procedures would reasonably require such deliveries to be accompanied
by appropriate documentation such as bills of lading, etc. which will allow
the cargos to be checked against the documentation.
Note: The cargo can also be replaced by ship’s store if ship

participation is desired.

SCENARIO
14. The security surveillance system is an important tool in defending a Port
Facility against security threats. However, the system has been
experiencing some malfunctions recently and security staff has been
reminded to be extra vigilant in monitoring the systems in order to detect
any malfunctions promptly.
TASKS
a. Due to the recent malfunctions, the presence of the technicians for

the security equipment should not come as a surprise to the security
staff. The technicians should simulate the malfunctions without
being detected by the security staff. It would be ideal if this can be
done remotely, otherwise, the technician may have to do it on the
actual equipment but have to be certain that this malfunction can be
detected by the security staff.
b. The drill begins with one security surveillance system (for example,
surveillance camera) experiencing a technical malfunction. The
Chief Controller will initiate the malfunction simulation with the
advice or assistance of the equipment suppliers. Mid-way through
the security staff response to the first malfunction, the Chief
Controller may activate the second equipment malfunction (eg,
motion sensor, if available).
c. Controllers should take note of how long security staff takes to

become aware of the malfunction.

f. The Safety Officer should follow the security staff as they carry the
drills and especially during the checking of the sensors.
16. For Players. This drill will require security staff to respond to two
surveillance system malfunctions that will be initiated by the controllers as
technical defects. Upon detection of the malfunction alarm, security staff
is expected to act in accordance with the equipment operating instructions
and Port Facility Security Plan.

Maritime Security Exercises

PREAMBLE
Exercises emphasize management-level competencies in planning, command,

control, coordination and communications in perspectives of practicing or testing
the Port Facility Security Plan as initiated by the Designated Authority, Port
Authority (or its equivalent) or the Port Facility Management.
Port Facility exercise planners should also recognize that exercises are intended
for the higher echelons of organizational activity, and therefore should seek
opportunities to involve, or be involved in exercises by state agencies or
authorities, as well as engage other related entities, such as port authorities, port
facilities, shipping companies and ships.
The collection of maritime security exercises that may be conducted by a Port

Facility using Volume 3 (Book of Maritime Security Exercises) are categorized as
follow:
Book E1 – Port Facility Tabletop Exercise

Book E2 – Port Facility Live Exercise
The provision of the guidelines is to facilitate the planning and conduct of

exercises by Port Facilities without the need to make reference to any other
instructions, aside from each organization’s internal regulations. However, it is
suggested that personnel responsible for the planning and conduct of maritime
security exercises should be familiar with Part 2 of Volume I - Guidelines for
Planning and Conduct of Maritime Security Drills & Exercises
These collections of pre-planned maritime security exercises for port facilities.may

be used as are; or, reviewed and adjusted to meet individual port facility needs.
Port Facilities may exercise their discretion on the types of exercises they conduct
from these Books of Exercises. Wherever possible, specific exercises should not
be repeated so that a wide range of different exercises may be experienced by
the Port Facility’s security staff or agency. However, repetition of the more
pertinent exercises may be necessitated by factors such as staff turnover,
reinforcement of basic concepts / requirements or to advance the security staffs’
competency standards.
Events or “injects” in the Master Events List for each exercise are not meant to be
exhaustive. They are designed as examples upon which many more injects could
be generated by the EPCT during the exercise planning stage. Such injects could
then be written in context with, and specific to the local conditions at the Port
Facility or with value-add to elicit standards of competency expected from the
Communications, Coordination, Resource Availability and Response components
such as response time.
As Port Facility security managers become familiar with planning and conducting
these exercises, several different types of drills may be readily incorporated into
the exercise scenario to maximize the benefit from the conduct of the training
event such as standards may be included to gain the expected outcomes in
competency standards of the participants involved in the re-run of similar
exercises.
Volume 3 i
The conditions for all exercises in this Book of Exercises are set at Security Level
1 and 2. No exercises are specified for Level 3 when it is expected that the local
authority’s security apparatus would come in force.
Users of this Book of Exercises are strongly encouraged to provide

recommendations and updates through the secretariat of MEG-SEC to maintain
currency of this book.

Security 1 or 2
Level
INTRODUCTION
1. The security of a port facility depends not only on the careful planning and
implementation of security measures, but also its’ response to incidents.
Responses to security incidents should be pre-determined and specified in
procedures in the PFSP. These incidents may not occur routinely but security
staff needs to be ready to carry out the correct actions when they do occur.
2. This is a basic Table Top Exercise that is designed to be conducted by the

port facility. It would be useful as an introductory exercise for the port facility
that has not conducted an exercise of this nature previously or as a
preparation to a live exercise. It can be modified as necessary to meet the
needs and the experience of the port facility.
AIM
3. To enhance the proficiency of the port facility security team in controlling Ship
and Shore Interface, maintaining contiguous zone security and responding to
contingencies.
OBJECTIVES
4. Participants will explain the appropriate measures to be taken, in accordance
with security plan, to handle security incidents and list the actions to be taken,
in accordance with procedures, when responding to security incidents.
DESIRED OUTCOMES
5. On completion of the Exercise, participants will:
• Be familiar with ship and shore interface procedures
• Know how to respond correctly to contingencies relating to ship and
shore control and contiguous zone security.
• Be able to carry out their duties relating to ship and shore control and
contiguous zone security confidently.
• Suggest changes or improvements to the security plan and procedures,
if any.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
SCENARIO
18. Port facility ABC has recently implemented ISPS and has put in place various
measures to ensure the security of the port facility. Previously, contractors,
logistics companies as well as local residents used to enjoy unfettered access
to the port facility. As they are still not familiar with the new restrictions and
requirements for access to the port facility, there have been frequent violations
of the procedures, resulting in various conflicts.
Volume 3 LE1 Pg 3
TASKS
a) The crew on the small boat should stop the boat near to the port facility
and will slowly creep / drift into the sea space controlled by the port
facility. The crew of the boat will cast their lines and pretend to fish. If
the water around the port facility is a controlled area, the Chief
Controller should arrange with the relevant authority for the boat to be
granted access for the exercise.
b) Initially, the driver of the vehicle with the consignment of cargo will
attempt to enter the port facility without any documents. If asked for
documents, he will say that he has left the documents in office and will
take a few hours to go back to get the documents and will plead to go in
without documentations. On the second attempt, he will only have an
invoice stating the delivery address which is located in the port facility
and will again plea to be allowed to enter the port facility as he is
already late and will be fired if he cannot deliver the goods. He should
try his best to persuade the security staff to let him enter the port facility.
Upon completion of this inject, he will show the necessary
documentation and proceed to deliver the cargo.
c) The intruder should only pretend to throw rocks and will coordinate with
the technical controller to disable the CCTV camera. The EPCT will
choose the location of the CCTV camera.
d) The group of “residents” will attempt to walk into the port facility without
showing any forms of identification. When asked, they will say that they
are going to fish at the wharf and will insist on going there as they have
used to in the past.
e) The EPCT is free to alter or add any injects as required. Additional
injects may be needed in response to the players’ reaction.
f) The Safety Officers should follow the security staff as they carry out the
exercise.

for personnel and cargo as well as contingency plans.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
SCENARIO
20. Criminal organisation has recently been targeting transportation nodes,
including port facilities, airports and land checkpoints, in the country with a
view of using them as conduits for their illicit activities such as smuggling of
drug, weapons, stolen goods as well as human smuggling.
21. Police intelligence has revealed that the modus operandi involved surveillance
of the transportation node, probes on the security system including the
infrastructure and responsiveness of the security staff. As such, the police
have advised all transportation nodes to remain vigilant and watch out for such
activities.
TASKS
• The female intruder will attempt to enter the port facility on the pretext of
wanting to talk to her boyfriend on a ship in the port facility. She will
need to know the actual ship’s name and the actual name of a ship’s
crew (if possible). She will try her best to ask the security staff to let her
into the port facility. When unable to enter the port facility, she will find a
suitable location to throw the packages over the fence.
• The stowaway should be hidden in the car before it enters the port
facility. If the safety of the stow-away cannot be assured, it can be
replaced by a dummy. Otherwise, this inject should not be played.
• The toy weapons should placed in the contractor’s tool box before
arrival at the port facility.
• The simulated contraband should be loaded onto the delivery vehicle
before it reaches the port facility. All documents (less those for the
contraband) and procedures should be adhered to. If detected, the
Volume 3 LE2 Pg 4
driver should produce the Letter of Identification and be allowed to
deliver the ship’s stores. If not detected, the driver should deliver the
simulated contraband to the Chief Controller.
• Ship crew should bring the envelope in exchange for the contrabands.
• The technical controller should activate the intrusion alarm remotely.
The EPCT will decide on the exact equipment and location for the
intrusion.
• The SSO will report the discovery of a stowaway and will request for
assistance from the port facility for removal of the stowaway.
• The EPCT is free to alter or add any injects as required. Additional
• The Safety Officers should follow the security staff as they carry out the
exercise.
23. Players need to be familiar with the various procedures for granting access for
personnel and cargo as well as contingency plans.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
SCENARIO
20. Due to the economic downturn, the shipping industry has been affected
leading to declines in business at the port facilities. As such, competition for
business has been heating up. However, due to better efficiency, Port Facility
ABC has been doing better than when compared to the other port facilities in
the region.
21. However, in recent weeks, there have been several incidents ranging from
technical glitches, operational incidents and even administrative matters that
have disrupted operations at Port Facility ABC which points to possibility of
sabotage.
TASKS
• The Ops Controller will place the placard stating a hole has been cut in
the fence at a suitable location and wait for the arrival of the patrolling
guard or else pretend to be a staff of the port facility and call to report
the breach. EPCT will decide on the exact location for this exercise.
• The two intruders will attempt to enter the port facility with the pretext of
presenting their office equipment to the administrative staff. They will
have all proper identification documents and brochures for office
equipment.
• The extra bags should be loaded to the vehicle with the consignment of
unaccompanied baggage before it enters the port. The driver will have
all the proper documents for the baggage. The driver should follow all
procedures and provide all necessary documentation for the delivery of
the baggage. If detected, the driver should produce the Letter of
Identification and be allowed to deliver the unaccompanied baggage. If
not detected, the driver should deliver the simulated contraband to the
Chief Controller.
• The technical controller should declare that the screening equipment is
not working but should take measures to ensure security is not
compromised when actual items are delivered. EPCT will decide on the
exact location and equipment to be used for this exercise.
• e. The technical controller, with the help of the electrical technician, will
switch off the main power to the monitoring station.
• The empty LPG cylinders must be loaded onto the delivery vehicle
before it reaches the port facility. The driver of the vehicle with the
empty gas cylinders will attempt to enter the port facility to deliver the
ship’s stores. The driver will have all the proper documents for the
Volume 3 LE3 Pg 4
stores but not for the gas cylinders. If detected, the driver should
produce the Letter of Identification and be allowed to deliver the ship’s
stores. If not detected, the driver should deliver the 2 LPG cylinders to
the Chief Controller.
• The technician for the intrusion detection equipment should remotely
trigger the intrusion alarm for a building. The Operations Controller will
be onsite and inform the security staff that there are signs of tampering.
The EPCT will decide on the exact location and details of the tampering
• The Operations Controller will call the Ops Room for the bomb threat.
The Operations Controller should try to alter his/her voice by using a
cloth to cover his mouth or similar. The EPCT will decide on the exact
message to be delivered.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
SCENARIO
19. Due to the good sea connectivity of Country ZPG with its neighbour and other
counties, organised crime cartels have targeted the various port facilities to as
conduits for their illegal activities. Due to the security measures in place,
cartels have not had an easy time trying to carrying out their illegal activities.
As such, they may resort to infiltrating the port facilities or make threats
against the port facilities to obtain their cooperation.
TASKS
• The technical controller should declare that the vehicle screening
equipment is not working but should take measures to ensure security
is not compromised should vehicles need to enter port facility. EPCT will
decide on the exact location and equipment to be used for this exercise.
• The EPCT will decide on the exact location of the warehouse and the
missing items should be similar to the actual items stored in the
warehouse.
• The intruder pretending to be the contractor should attempt to enter the
port facility with the fake pass.
• The EPCT will decide on the location of the side gate to be used for the
exercise.
• The box of simulated contraband should be loaded onto the vehicle
delivering the ship’s stores prior to arrival to the port facility. The driver
should follow all procedures and provide all necessary documentation
for the delivery of the ship’s stores. If detected, the driver should
produce the Letter of Identification and be allowed to deliver the ship’s
stores. If not detected, the driver should deliver the simulated
contraband to the Chief Controller.
• The simulators assuming the role of stowaways should be pre-arranged
to enter the port facility. The container to be used should be opened and
well ventilated discreetly and the container door should be left ajar and
stowaway seated near to the opened door.
