Inspections
ISPS
ISPS Compliance: The ISPS Code is not in force in the Solomon Islands.
The US Coast Guard has reported (13 September 2004) that vessels arriving at US ports from the Solomon Islands, after visits to ports in Africa and the former Soviet Union, will be subject to increased attention and are more likely to be boarded and inspected due to their country's failure to report compliance with the ISPS Code.
For further ISPS information see IMO website http://www.imo.org
