Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: When considering the security of maritime transport in terms of terrorist threats, it should be pointedout that, in accordance with Polish legislation and the functioning anti-terrorist system of the Republicof Poland, entities of the Ministries of Internal Affairs and National Defence are designated to respondto terrorist threats in Polish maritime areas and ports. Despite the fact that to date there have been noincidents of a terrorist nature against vessels that would pose a threat to Polish maritime areas,including to maritime transport and energy infrastructure, it is unjustified to assume that such eventsare unlikely. Therefore, in order to prepare for emergency response to such events cyclical exercises areconducted, which combine elements of the military and non-military system, after which conclusionsare worked out for implementation in improving the existing system solutions.
