At Six Maritime, we understand the critical importance of maritime security and the need to comply with stringent Naval, Coast Guard, and Maritime regulations. Our dedication to safety and security is unwavering, and we are proud of our proven track record as elite subject matter experts in the industry. In this blog, we will explore the significance of NAVSEA 009-72, why maritime security of our US Naval Fleet is essential, and why companies should choose Six Maritime for their security needs.
What is NAVSEA 009-72?
NAVSEA 009-72 is a comprehensive regulation, governed by US Naval Policy, titled “Physical Security at Private Contractor Facility.” This detailed regulation for private Shipyard Repair Facilities outlines the various security measures that shipyards are responsible for, to include the safety and security of vessels and their personnel. These measures include, but are not limited to: access control systems, surveillance systems, and protocols for emergency response. Compliance with NAVSEA 009-72 is not just a legal requirement but a steadfast commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security in support of US Naval assets. Adhering to these regulations prevents unauthorized access, theft, and other security breaches, thereby safeguarding not only the assets but also the well-being of all personnel on the respective installation. By following NAVSEA 009-72, private contractors demonstrate their dedication to upholding the integrity and safety of their operations, as well as safeguarding national security and naval assets.
The Importance of Maritime Security
Maritime security is crucial for protecting our ports, infrastructure, and the global supply chain. Private shipyards and repair facilities are vital for the US Navy in maintaining the fleet. Any security breach can have far-reaching consequences. Ensuring the safety of our maritime facilities is not simply about compliance; it’s about our duty to protect our warships and sailors while they are at facilities away from home working to complete their mission.
Incidents such as the attack on the USS Cole serve as stark reminders of the potential for tragedy and mishap when security measures are not adequately enforced. These unfortunate instances highlight the immense importance of maintaining rigorous security standards. They serve as a testament to the necessity of robust maritime security, demonstrating that the safety and integrity of our maritime assets, as well as the lives of those who work within the sector, can hinge upon the effectiveness of our security measures. Therefore, it becomes absolutely essential to reagrd the NAVSEA 009-72 as lawful doctrine.
