The Best Management Practices for Maritime Security (BMP MS) 2025 consolidates all previous regional BMP guidance into a single global framework, providing structured guidance to ships for identifying, assessing, and mitigating maritime security threats. It addresses both physical and virtual risks—ranging from piracy, sea mines, UAVs, WBIEDs, and anti-ship missiles to cyber-attacks, GNSS spoofing, and disinformation. The document emphasizes layered defence, vessel hardening, incident response, and seafarer welfare, while directing users to global reporting centres and online resources for up-to-date intelligence.
