Discussion:
The maritime industry considers the maritime security as one of the most important
term. There is even the prevalence of arguments between the people in relation to the
comparison between the maritime safety and maritime security1.
The basic risk factor in case of maritime transport is the huge volume of products
travelling by sea. One of the worse risk factor is that there can be terrorist attacks that
specifically attack the seagoing vessels. They can also act as a facility by allowing the
terrorists to enter into other places and by helping them in raising revenues for their
organisation. The crucial risk factors in relation to shipping- port, vessel, facility and people
are connected with world trade disruptions thereafter increasing the economic costs involved
with the tightening of security.
