The Marine Security Contribution Program is a five-year,
In compliance with international security requirements mandated by the International Maritime Organization's International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, the Government of Canada implemented the Marine Transportation Security Regulations, which required ports and marine facilities to have approved security plans in place.
The program was recently expanded to allow for the participation of domestic ferry services and vessels, recognizing the high volume of passengers carried by domestic ferries every year and the unique security challenges they face as a result of their extensive, open systems.
Under the Marine Security Contribution Program, Canada Port Authorities; harbour commissions; private ports; port terminal operators; marine facilities; the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation; commercialized and private ferry terminals; ferry vessels; municipalities; and provinces may apply for funds to assist with new security equipment and programs required under their security plans. These funds not only assist participants in completing their initial work to meet the requirements of their plans, but also help them to extend and build on these security enhancements in the future.
The program allows for the reimbursement of eligible expenses for the period of April 2004 to November 2007 for Canada Port Authorities, April 2004 to November 2009 for marine facilities and June 2006 to November 2009 for domestic ferry services.
Projects eligible for funding include:
Canada's commitment to meet - and exceed - the International Maritime Organization's security requirements is helping to ensure that Canada's marine transportation system remains one of the most secure in the world.
