Maritime security is also an integral part of IMO s responsibilities. A comprehensive security regime for international shipping went into effect on July 1, 2004. The mandatory security measures, initially adopted in December 2002, include a number of amendments to the 1974 SOLAS, the most far-reaching of which enshrines the new International Ship and Port Facihty Security (ISPS) Code, which contains detailed secirrity-related reqirirements for governments, port authorities, and shipping companies.
