摘要：	Today, the challenges we face in ensuring safe, secure and environmentally friendly shipping have never been greater. Terrorist events around the world emphasize a heightened need for unified efforts. Our mutual commitment to this end is highlighted by the unprecedented cooperation and speed with which the International Ship and Port Facility (ISPS) Code came to fruition. The ISPS Code represents a significant advancement in maritime security and will substantially reduce the risk of terrorist activities in the maritime transportation segment. In the United States, 95 percent of U.S. commerce (imports and exports) is transported through seaports and maritime transportation, contributing to over 1 trillion dollars annually to the Gross Domestic Product. The marine transportation system is the most valuable sector globally, which underscores the importance of timely and effective implementation of the provisions of the ISPS Code. In addition to the ISPS Code, the United States Congress recently passed the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA). The legislation outlined in MTSA is aligned with the elements of the ISPS Code, which means that arriving ships will not face a host of requirements unique to the U.S. We each face multiple challenges in developing the legislative and process framework necessary for effective and accountable implementation of a maritime security framework.
