Abstract
Ports are very vast areas and national security facilities. Subjects to be watched are wharfs where cargoes are loaded and unloaded on board ships, ships anchored at port approaches, a number of containers and warehouses, main approach roads, fences and gates where persons and cargoes arrive and leave. In order to prevent terrorism or port-related crimes, CCTVs and various watching arrangements are installed and the comprehensive watching and controlling center is operated for 24 hours. Due to awareness that ships and ports may be targeted for terrorists since 9.11 in 2001, the security for ships and ports has been strengthened. The security for both ports themselves and international seagoing passenger ships and terminals is essential considering a large number of facility users of ships and terminals. Whether ports can establish proper port security services is one of the factors to secure port competitiveness. This article asserts that management and supervision authority over port security designated officers and guards be unified towards a state security agency with more professionalism in port security. In order to meet such an assertion, it is desirable to consider introducing so-called 'Maritime Security Services Industry Act' and maritime security guard system.
