33  Secretary may give security directions
 (1) The Secretary may direct that additional security measures be implemented or complied with.
 (2) A direction under subsection (1) is a security direction.
 (3) The Secretary must not give a security direction unless:
 (a) it is appropriate to do so because an unlawful interference with maritime transport or offshore facilities is probable or imminent; or
 (b) if a national emergency declaration (within the meaning of the National Emergency Declaration Act 2020) is in force—the Secretary is satisfied that the security direction is appropriate to support the national emergency declaration.
 (4) A security direction has no effect until the Secretary commits the direction to writing.
Note: This requires the Secretary to have a written record of a direction that is given orally.
 (5) The regulations may prescribe requirements for, or in relation to, the giving of security directions.
