India elevates maritime security to MARSEC Level 2 amid growing threats

MARSEC Level 2 signifies a heightened risk of a security incident and requires the implementation of additional protective security measures for a period of time

 

Amidst escalating tensions with Pakistan and repeated attacks by the neighbouring country, India has issued an advisory elevating the security level at all its ports, terminals, and ships from MARSEC Level 1 to MARSEC Level 2. 

MARSEC Level 2 signifies a heightened risk of a security incident and requires the implementation of additional protective security measures for a period of time. 

This means that ships, ports, and offshore facilities, along with their associated maritime industry participants, must take specific actions to enhance security. These measures are designed to address the elevated threat level and ensure the safety and security of the maritime environment.
