5 Global Security Issues Admiral Lord West of Spithead May 2013 ISIS didn t have a recognised profile Now ISIS the biggest security threat in 2015 ISIS army Iraq well trained - many ex Iraqi army Risks also for Lebanon / Egypt / Yemen / Libya Situation in Somalia improving but Al Shabab still a threat Turmoil from Morocco to Pakistan (inc Tunisia) GoG an area of real concern as more complex than East Africa Links between; piracy, crime, and corruption (SCEG maritime security conference 25 th June 2015)

6 Global Corruption Issues Mark Pyman ex Transparency International In many countries, extracting money from business is not corruption, its part of the culture and how the country is structured! Corruption costs $1.0 trillion per annum It traps millions in poverty Undermines the rule of law Breeds social unrest and political crisis Successful democratic elections integrating terrorist groups, doesn t change them into democratic organisations (SCEG maritime security conference 25 th June 2015)

7 Global Corruption Issues Mark Pyman ex Transparency International (TI) TI corruption perceptions index index - ease of doing Countries spending on military & training, don't focus on ethics or values Security forces in West Africa penetrated by organised crime $8 of $10 spent is unaccounted for Africa treated as single region (SCEG maritime security conference 25 th June 2015)

13 Piracy & Political Issues East Africa and Somalia West Africa Malacca Straits Maritime Security Standard ISO and ISO 28007

14 East Africa and Somalia No ships with armed guards pirated Somalia improving But:- International naval coalition forces remit ends in 2016 reductions likely? Concerns as Yemen deteriorates Commercial pressures on PMSC risks reduction in standards

15 Somalia Briefing June 26 th Harriet Matthews UK Ambassador UK Priorities Humanitarian Help Security Political progress and State building Election autumn 2016 Other comments Piracy root causes still exist Still issues to address fishery protection and illegal fishing

16 Differences West Africa 80% of all incidents conducted within coastal States Coastal States are integral to solving the problem. No international naval coalition forces present, confused reporting procedures. Pirates based along the coastal States of GoG. Pirate MOs are different but more violent. GoG is not a vital SLOC*. East Africa PMSC model doesn t suit GoG coastal States. East Africa Piracy committed on the high seas. Coastal states peripheral to problem. 3 international naval coalition forces established reporting procedures. Pirates predominantly based in the failed state of Somalia. Pirate MO ransom ship and crew. SLOC* through HRA are critically important with vital choke-points. PMSCs used extensively to protect ships successfully. * Sea Lines Of Communication

20 Nigeria New incumbent President Buhari Buhari inaugural speech:- Thanked neighbouring countries leaders of Cameroon, Chad and Niger that helped in fighting Boko Haram Committed Army command centre to be relocated to Maiduguri until Boko Haram subdued Meantime:- Advice is do not take even unarmed advisors on ships calling in Nigerian waters MoUs with Nigerian Navy held by International Maritime Security Providers of little value Not yet clear if NIMASA or Nigerian Navy will be the lead maritime security Buhari likely to make progress on security in the North but face problems in the South

21 It s like someone climbing into your boot while you re driving down a motorway Philip Belcher Intertanko, ( Economist 26 th June 2015) Malacca Straits Indonesia 17,000 islands Petrol prices increased by 33% Orkim Harmony, borded early evening of June 11th. 6,000 tonnes of product $5m at market prices Incidents an alarming symptom of a regional uptake in piracy ReCAAP, regional co-ordinating agency accused of downplaying the latest spike Even petty thieves attempting to board in congested waterways, cause accidents.

22 Structure for ISO accredited body IAF - International Accreditation Forum ISO / ISO PAS Maritime Security Standard for Armed Guard on vessels UKAS - national accreditation body to assess against internationally agreed standards UKAS assess RTI to be come a certification Body (CB) against ;- ISO and management systems certification and auditing certification ISO supply chain security management system RTI assess PMSCs against :- ISO Security Management Systems for the Supply chain (risk based Q.M.S.) ISO Guidance & Scope for PMSCs applying the requirements of ISO PCASP privately contracted armed security personnel (direct or self employed by PMSCs)

23 ISO and ISO PAS ISO Supply Chain Security Security Management policy, programme, objectives and targets Security Risk Assessment and Planning Legal, Statutory and other security regulatory requirements (Port and Flag State) Structure, authority and responsibilities Competence, training and awareness Communications, Document and data control Emergency preparedness, failures and audits

24 ISO and ISO PAS ISO Guide lines for PMSC providing armed security personnel on ships ( was ISO PAS until March 2015) Security Management policy, programme, objectives and targets Operational controls Performance evaluation Made up of Management systems, Leadership, Competence, roles and responsibilities Culture and Ethics (ICOC) Outsourcing and subcontracting of PCAPS Insurance Security objectives, actions to address risks, risk assessments Legal and regulatory requirements fire arms licencing Selection, vetting and training of PCASP Fire arms training weapons specific fire arms drills on ships is not training Rules for the use of force Security briefings and training on vessel, vessel hardening procedures BIMCO Guardcon contracts

25 RTI principles and progress Internally at RTI We apply ISO standards of and and the principles of :- Impartiality (conflict register) Competence Responsibility Openness Confidentiality Responsiveness to complaints Formation of Independent Governance Board (IGB) Industry Experts Reports & Meetings with IDG Internal Audits by RTI independent auditor (Aviation Audit trained) Regular External audits by UKAS

26 Observations raised 1. Firearms training weapons specific training Difference between weapons drills on-board and weapons training not understood 2. Screening and vetting of security personnel 3. Size of PMSC and how they manage operations 48 PMSCs are currently ISO certified and operating Companies remaining smaller and with less resources, taking longer

27 Observations raised 4. Risk assessments Smaller companies not grasping the concept of robust risk assessments. Sometimes difficult to relay to a client that does not have experience and knowledge of drafting such documentation. 5. ICOCA and human rights 6. Benefits of the transit audit life cycle of the components necessary for a transit.

28 Scope Geographic spread (West and East Africa?) Usually Red Sea, East Africa, Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean Additional areas added afterwards - covered by scope extension Potential for scope extension as security issues develop elsewhere Potential for new PMSC certification as the business moves eastwards.
