The Port Security (Avonmouth Dock and Royal Portbury Dock and Port of Bristol Security Authority) Designation Order 2010
This Order is the first of a series of Orders to implement Directive 2005/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2005 on enhancing port security (OJ L 310, 25.11.2005, p 28) (the “Directive”) at individual ports across the United Kingdom. The Directive was transposed, in relation to the whole of the United Kingdom, by the Port Security Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2048). It extends previous European Union security requirements beyond the ship/port facility interface (essentially the docking areas) further into port estates (for example, into areas concerned with transportation, cargo storage and other commercial and operational activities at ports).
