Dear All,
This Newsletter aims to inform all concerned parties about the MC 216.1 Ship Security Advisory released by the Palau Ship Registry Administration regarding the immediate elevation of Ship Security Level due to military operations in the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea.
According to the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code and Marine Notice 228, as amended, Palau Ship Registry Administration hereby directs that all Palau-flagged vessels operating in or intending to transit the High-threat Areas shall immediately implement Ship Security Level III, or any equivalent port facility security measures upon arrival.
The directive is effective immediately and is including the Red Sea, BeM, GoA, Arabian/Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, SoH, North Arabian Sea, and the waters and ports of Israel.
Due to intense military tensions, missile threats, and potential mining in the above areas, the Palau Ship Registry Administration highly recommends commercial vessels to avoid the Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of Oman and seek for safe, alternative ports recommended for waiting or re-routing.
