Best Management Practices
The Best Management Practice (BMP) for Maritime Security (MS) integrates previously published regional BMP documents into a single, comprehensive guide. It outlines a threat and risk management process, addressing global threats and mitigation strategies, while referencing external sources for current regional information. This publication assists ships in voyage planning, enabling them to detect, avoid, deter, delay, and report attacks or incidents worldwide. Adhering to BMP recommendations significantly enhances seafarer safety. Access the BMP MS publication by downloading it from BMP Maritime Security or visiting Maritime Global Security. To register your vessel, submit the Initial Report Form. For further details, contact MSCIO at postmaster@mscio.eu.
