Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: When port and ship are not on the same security level.
A Declaration of Security (DoS) is typically required under the ISPS Code when a ship is interfacing with a port facility or another ship, and one party is at a higher security level than the other. It ensures that appropriate security measures are agreed upon and maintained to address the heightened risk.
