Ships present organised criminals with the opportunity to transport high volumes of drugs from producing to consuming countries. The volume of illegal drugs being moved in commercial shipping continues to increase, in turn increasing the risk to ships and ports. The shipping industry shares a collective responsibility to assist in combatting this illegal traffic.



Ships’ crews may be unaware that their ship or its cargo are being used as a cover to transport illegal drugs. However, if illegal drugs are found on board by customs or law enforcement agencies, innocent companies and seafarers may be exposed to huge financial fines or penalties, or even imprisonment.



This publication demonstrates how to protect the ship and the crew and reduce the risk of drug trafficking occurring on board. It covers:



Key global trafficking routes

Ports and places commonly targeted by drug traffickers

High profile drug seizures

Vulnerabilities of shipping

Risk management and security strategy

Ship security procedures

Port facility security procedures

Training and education

Emerging drug trends, including drug characteristics and identification

Responding to unusual activity at sea, in port, or involving passengers or crew

The signs of drug/alcohol use by crew members

What to do when drugs are found on board.



It also includes a new section on cyber security.
