International Security Information
International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS)
The ISPS-Code has been implemented by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in the wake of 9/11 attacks.
As annex to the SOLAS Convention (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea), the ISPS Code is applicable for vessels and terminals and went into force on 1st July 2004.
Long before that date we were able to certify our vessels with ISPS.
Please find here the International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC) for each of our own vessels.

Container Seal Policy of Hapag-Lloyd
Better protection and safety for your cargo during transit with the Hapag-Lloyd seal policy.
All full containers moving under a Hapag-Lloyd Bill of Lading must be currently delivered with a High Security Seal (HSS) complying with ISO PAS 17712.
Please note the ISO PAS 17712 standard will be replaced in March 2012 by the ISO IS 17712 standard.
Supply chain security begins at the point of origin including application of a high security seal immediately upon completion of the stuffing operation. After securely stuffing and sealing a container please make sure that the seal number is provided on the shipping instructions forwarded to Hapag-Lloyd.
If a container arrives at the port without a high security seal, Hapag-Lloyd reserves the right to refuse acceptance for shipment. Any additional costs associated with this will be charged to the customer. In this case our organisation will make contact with the customer.
