Sumario:The port safety has acquired in the last decade, due to the terrorist attack to the Twin Towers of New York in 2001, a relevant importance in the ports of the whole world and hence in its marine terminals. The terminals are one of the main logistic nodes, the goods that they move every year represent a millionaire investment volume, and therefore the users of these, now the clients, demand a high security level and guarantees for their goods. Likewise, many passengers go through the ports every day and they must have guaranteed their security and movement. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) together with the International Labour Organization (ILO) designed in 2003 a methodology for the risk assessment on port facilities and the ISPS Code to organize security through the putting into practice of measurements and common procedures to all the member countries of both international organizations, which guarantee a suitable security level for the port facilities.
