This study was done because there are more national, cross-border, and foreign threats at South Africa’s Maritime Ports of Entry. The goal of the study was to make South Africa’s Maritime Ports of Entry more secure. Two Maritime Ports of Entry, which will henceforth be referred to as Port of Entry ‘A’ and Port of Entry ‘B’, were purposively sampled for this study, based on specific criteria. Online interviews were used to collect data for this study. Data was analysed and interpreted using the thematic analysis process. Because of the pre-existing threats, vulnerabilities and security risks, it has been difficult for marine port of entry security personnel to reduce threats, prevent vulnerabilities and eliminate security risks. The study recommended enhancing human resources and physical protection systems (PPS) and establishing a centre for processing security information and intelligence to reduce the current security threats, prevent vulnerabilities and mitigate the risks at Maritime Ports of Entry.
