Which statement is correct regarding MARSEC level 1?

  1. Identification is not required for access

  2. Only authorized personnel can access the facility

  3. All persons seeking access must carry official identification

  4. Access is strictly monitored with advanced technology

The correct answer is: All persons seeking access must carry official identification

The statement regarding MARSEC level 1 that is correct is that all persons seeking access must carry official identification. At MARSEC level 1, baseline security measures are implemented to ensure a minimum level of security at maritime facilities. This entails that all individuals who wish to enter the facility must present valid identification to verify their identity and authorization for access. This requirement helps maintain a secure environment and ensures that only those with legitimate reasons can enter, thus protecting against unauthorized access. The other statements do not accurately reflect the requirements or implications of MARSEC level 1. For instance, while authorized personnel are certainly prioritized in terms of access, the focus at level 1 is on ensuring that all individuals provide identification, not just those deemed authorized. Access monitoring may be present, but at MARSEC level 1, it does not necessarily involve advanced technology; it generally relies on personnel and standard procedures rather than sophisticated systems.
