ISPS in Greenland

Greenland has adopted both the SOLAS convention and the ISPS code that are global regulations regulated by the UN maritime organization, International Maritime Organiza-tion (IMO). Greenland has not adopted the supplementary regulations and legislation that Denmark has adopted under the auspices of the EU and thus only answers to the ISPS code proper.

The ISPS code applies to ships on international voyages, defined as:

• All passenger ships with more than 12 passengers, incl. high-speed ferries.
• Cargo ships of 500 GT and upwards, incl. high-speed ferries.
• Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU).

Exempt from the above are:

• War ships and troop carrying ships.
• Cargo ships of less than 500 GT.
• Ships not propelled by mechanical means:
  • Sailing ships without auxiliary engines.
  • Barges etc. without own means of propulsion.
• Wooden ships of primitive construction.
• Fishing vessels or vessels not used for commercial purposes.
