Sea Malta has met the requirements of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (SPS) code - a mandatory regime imposed as an after-effect of the September 11 tragic events in New York.

The process involved the thorough assessment of the two ships owned by Sea Malta, where sensitive security points, emergency escapes and restricted areas have been identified and clearly marked. The exercise was then followed by the drawing up of two ships' security plans, which detailed exactly what crew members are expected to do under different security threat situations. The ISPS code in fact categorises security threats at three levels. In recognition for the successful and timely completion of the certification process, Sea Malta has officially received the International Ship Security Certificate from Bureau Veritas. BV is a French vessel classification society which is also recognised as a security organisation.
