TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). The Government of India has established the Bureau of Port Security (BoPS) under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways as the apex regulatory body for maritime security. BoPS has been modelled on the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and will regulate the security of ships, ports, and related maritime infrastructure. Initially, BoPS will function under the Directorate General of Shipping, which is being renamed as the Directorate General of Maritime Administration (DGMA). Shyam Jagannathan, Director General of Maritime Administration, will serve as the Director General of BoPS during the one-year transition period. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has been designated as the Recognised Security Organisation (RSO) for conducting port security assessments and preparing Port Facility Security Plans. BoPS will oversee maritime security compliance, inspections, intelligence sharing, risk assessment, and emergency preparedness in accordance with national and international standards.
