Ports play a crucial role in connecting sea and land transport, supporting economic activities inland. Ensuring the safety of port facilities, workers, surrounding communities, and the environment are interconnected priorities in modern port management. Ports also have increasing responsibilities nationally and internationally regarding maritime safety, environmental protection, and sustainable development. Modern surveillance techniques are also becoming more common security tools to address the escalating threat of criminal activity and terrorism at ports. The Port Facility Security Officer is responsible for preparing a security plan that indicates the minimum and additional security measures the port will take at different security levels.

infrastructures, provisions and associated services are required. These will
bring varying degrees of benefit or disadvantage to the local and regional
economy and to the environment.
