Documentation & Compliance
In the modern maritime environment, compliance isn’t just a bureaucratic formality, it is a layer of defense. Hydra ensures your yacht meets flag-state, and port-state requirements so your vessel sails with confidence, legitimacy, and operational readiness.
Under SOLAS Chapter XI-II and the ISPS Code, “All vessels of 500 GT or more engaged in international voyages are required to maintain and implement a Ship Security Plan approved by their flag administration.”
A SSP is a confidential binder composed of:
​
-
Security duties and delegations
-
Communication and coordination
-
How to establish security levels
-
Security actions and SOPs
-
Operation and maintenance of security equipment
-
Emergency contacts
-
Records of annual training and quarterly drills
-

The Ship Security Plan (SSP) is a living document that requires constant upkeep, logging, and amendments. The responsibility of this work falls on Hydra Defense Solutions as the mandated Company Security Officer.
