The Belize Port Authority has fully adopted the ISPS Code for port security, following the enactment of Statutory Instrument No. 101 of 2004. As the Designated Authority, the BPA issued an ISPS Compliance Guideline to help port operators and PFSOs understand their responsibilities.

The ISPS Code fosters international cooperation to prevent terrorism in the maritime sector. Since its introduction, the Authority has issued Certificates of Compliance to port facilities that meet the standards. All facilities have a designated PFSO and operate under an approved Port Facility Security Plan.
