BMP Maritime Security is an online publication, that consolidates previously published regional publications into a single, comprehensive publication with actionable insights and advice. It supersedes BMP 5 which has been withdrawn.
It focuses on providing a threat and risk management process and, recognising the dynamic nature of regional security situations, provides signposts to direct users to the most up-to-date security intelligence and risk assessment information.
The latest edition of BMP Maritime Security (BMP MS) was updated in June 2026 to include a new section dedicated to managing incidents involving activist boardings of ships and offshore installations.
