CIB Conducts Emergency Response Drills as Part of Port Security Plan at Laem Chabang Port

The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), led by officers from the Marine Police Division 5 and the specialised maritime tactical unit “ Matchanu” of Marine Division 2 conducted a security drill at Laem Chabang Port. This exercise, held in partnership with Hutchinson Company, aimed to reinforce emergency response procedures at the port as outlined in the Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) for 2024.

Under the direction of Police Lieutenant General Jiraphob Phuridej, CIB Commissioner, and key officials including Police Colonel Ponsak Laorujiralai, Deputy Commander, Marine Police Division; Police Colonel Watchiranon Nonna, Commander of Marine Division 2; and Acting Police Colonel Khajornyot Songpradit, the drill was organised to test and enhance the readiness of port security forces.

The operation was managed by Police Lieutenant Wassu Buajeen of Marine Division 2 and Police Lieutenant Thanan Manujantrat, along with their respective units from Marine Police Division 5 and the “Matchanu” tactical team.

The CIB’s maritime teams conducted various emergency response simulations, designed to prepare officers for potential threats and incidents at the port. These included coordinated responses to security breaches, simulated rescue operations, and the deployment of specialised water-based tactics by the “Matchanu” unit.

This drill reflects CIB’s commitment to professionalism, neutrality, and support for public safety, ensuring the highest level of security at critical infrastructure sites like Laem Chabang Port.
