Minister for Ports and Museum Ahammad Devarkovil will make a formal declaration of receiving the International Ships and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code for the Beypore port on September 4. The new certification will help international vessels dock at the port, apart from facilitating emigration clearance.
International cargo vessel operators will be among the major beneficiaries of the latest certification, which will promote the port’s growth potential to the next level. A major facility upgrade has also been completed ahead of making the formal declaration.
According to port officials, flawless security arrangements are now in place at the location to monitor the movements. X-ray scanning and metal detector facilities are some of the new additions at the main entrance to screen passengers and baggage. Automatic radar systems to identify ships and modern communication systems are some of the other new facilities at the port.
