Security

The Port of Broome is a security regulated Port with an approved Maritime Security Plan endorsed by the Department of Home Affairs.

KPA complies with the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003 and Regulations 2005 and enforces the requisite security access necessary for the three different security levels. Port Security is also regulated by the Customs Act 1901. Access by land and sea to the Maritime Security Zone is fully regulated by the above Acts.

Security zone maps; declaration forms required by vessel masters; and the Port Security FAQ’s should assist port users in identifying where security zones are located and requirements for entering these areas.

Security Gatehouse

The Security Gatehouse is staffed 24/7 monitoring security with complete CCTV coverage and swipe card boom gate access. Persons accessing the Maritime Security Zone (MSZ) by both land and sea should do so with the full knowledge and consent of the Security Gatehouse. Persons must declare an operational need and be in possession of a valid Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC) and Port Access Card or be under the direct escort of a person with the same.

The Security Gatehouse monitors VHF Channel 16 and 14 outside of office hours.
