Key Register - 1st Edition (2026)

This Key Register provides a systematic record of all keys held on board ship, their locations, assignments and issue history. While no international convention mandates a standalone key register, controlled management of ship keys is an operational requirement that supports the access control provisions of the ship's approved Ship Security Plan (SSP), as required under the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, given mandatory effect through Chapter XI-2 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
