Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Not mandatory.
While additional physical barriers like fencing or barbed wire may be implemented as temporary security measures at higher security levels, a permanent security fence on the ship's railing is not a mandatory requirement under the ISPS Code. Ship design focuses on safety and operational functionality primarily.
