E.B.S. already developed a company security plan, however, ISPS requirements go even further. Therefore E.B.S. aims to continue to invest in fencing, cameras, security services and providing training for its personnel. In addition, our customary security measures and procedures have been tightened. Everyone entering the E.B.S. terminals must be informed on what the ISPS requirements entail. This information sheet explains how E.B.S. deals with the requirements.

Three levels
The ISPS code details measures at three escalating security levels. Monitoring and security control are tightened according to increased threats. You will be informed about the current security levels at the entry points of our terminals.
