Stevedores and agency dockers
Rostered shift by shift, different faces weekly
At the fence
Every call, every crew, accounted for
More people cross your fence in a day than work for you in a year. Almost none of them are yours. Stevedores, drivers, crew and surveyors, controlled to the berth and the hours of the call.

What you are held to
ISPS · Facility Security Plan
- Restricted areas defined, and entry limited to people with a demonstrated reason
- Identity verified for everyone entering, and records kept as the plan requires
- Security level 1 to 2 to 3 escalation, applied immediately
Where it breaks today
- Driver identity is checked on paper at the gate, then trusted for the rest of the day
- Access opened for one vessel call is still open 3 months later, nobody withdrew it
- When the security level rises, no one can say within the hour who is inside the fence
When the security level goes up you have one hour to prove who is inside the fence, and to get everyone else out. Today that answer lives in a logbook.

Scenario
A vessel calls at 03:00
Crew, surveyors and a repair team announced 6 hours ahead, for a berth they have never visited.
The agent submits the list
Crew, surveyor and contractor names arrive through the agent portal instead of by e-mail to the duty officer.
Checked before they travel
Identity documents and required certificates validated against the call. Anyone missing something is flagged while it can still be fixed.
Access scoped to the berth and the window
The berth, the quay and the hours of the call. Written into the access systems automatically.
It closes when she sails
No withdrawal task, no logbook line to cross out. The record of who was inside stays.
What changes
- No standing access left behind after a call. The expiry is set when the access is created
- At a security level escalation, the list of who is inside the restricted area is on screen
- The ISPS record per call comes straight from the system, with nothing rebuilt from the gatehouse
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does Axxession support an ISPS facility security plan?
Restricted areas are modelled as zones. Entry is granted per person against a demonstrated reason, such as a vessel call or a work order. Every grant carries an approver and an end date. The platform produces the record the plan asks for, without anyone rebuilding it from the gatehouse logbook.
Can access be limited to a single berth and the hours of a vessel call?
Yes. Access is created against the call, scoped to the berth and the quay. It is set to expire when the vessel sails. Nobody has to remember to withdraw it.
What happens at a security level escalation?
Every grant is live in the platform. The list of who holds access to each restricted area is on screen immediately, per zone and per person, with no export first.
