You are required to hold a Maritime Security Industry Card (MSIC) if you require unsupervised access to a maritime security zone at least once a year to do your job.
There are two types of MSICs. The type of MSIC you require will depend on your role and operational need.
- blue: must be displayed in a maritime security zone of a security regulated port or offshore facility at all times
- white: may be required if you are contracted or employed in a security-sensitive role that requires a valid background check.
