As a supply chain security measure, the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code promulgated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is overall a well thought through system. It provides a structure to support ocean governance for maritime transport, security for the environment, and security for the member states (MS). However, from a Danish perspective, as well perhaps from a European Union (EU) MS viewpoint, it has added a significant bureaucratic burden. From a pragmatic prism, appropriate, adequate, and efficient security can be successfully accomplished without such a heavy bureaucratic burden. This chapter contains an overview and provides a qualitative, analytical examination of ISPS frameworks in Danish Ports and facilities based on Port Facility Security Officers (PFSO).
