The role of maritime security is to take all preventive measures intended to protect shipping, ships, ports, cargo, ships and relevant undertakings against terrorism or the threat of intentional unlawful acts.

The definition and objectives of maritime security is divided into three parts:

The Icelandic Transportation Agency shall grant authorisations, approvals and licences regarding maritime security. Monitoring also takes the form of audits (audits, inspections and tests) carried out by staff. The audits take into account, inter alia, regulations of the European Union in the areas of maritime security, maritime security programmes and quality systems. In addition, specialist services are provided to those who so request for these purposes.

In December 2002, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) adopted a requirement for specific measures to enhance and enhance maritime security on ships engaged in international navigation and port security at ports serving such ships. These requirements are set forth in Chapter , International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, and are set forth in the so-called ISPS Code (see and -B ).
