Russia Moves To Enhance Maritime Security

And You Should Too

The Russian government is considering a set of measures to enhance the level of security in its ports, amid the ever-deteriorating geopolitical environment and the threat of a military conflict with Ukraine.

Despite the size of country’s sea coast, currently estimated at 38,800 km, which is by 2.5 times more its land border, and the importance of seaports to Russia’s imports, there has been little focus on issues of security in recent years.

However, the Russian parliament is now looking at new measures aimed at strengthening the country’s maritime security and recently approved a number of new amendments into the existing key federal laws, regulating the issues of security at domestic seaports and territorial waters.

Sergei Goncharov, deputy chairman of the Commission on Security of the Moscow Parliament, said the new amendments would be approved as part of the existing state programme of transport security.

‘This is a very timely decision, as in recent months the threat of terror attacks and sabotage in Russian seaports and territorial waters has significantly increased. We are planning to use the experience of Israel, which implies the introduction of a single maritime security system, a single leadership and responsibility,’ Goncharov said.

Under the planned measures, which will be covered by an investment of some $5 billion, the Federal Security Service (FSB) will bear the main responsibility for security and safety in Russian seaport and territorial waters.

A new single system governing maritime security in Russia’s ports and territorial waters will be created, while all Russian ports will be equipped with complex security systems, enabling the remote control of protected areas and notifying the coast guard or other security units of any alerts.

New radars and high resolution television cameras will also be installed while all ports will be equipped with a new navigation system which will act as single information space for coastal and marine systems, tracking the movement of ships in ports and the approaches to them.

The government also plans to establish a network of inspection companies, which would assume control of the technical condition of vessels, their maintenance and exploitation, as well as how equipped they are with rescue, radio and other equipment.
