Re: The International Code for the Security of Ships and Port Facilities
clearly bollocks.
Certainly appears to be here.
The closest I can find to the above wording is the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code - an amendment to SOLAS and implemented in the UK under The Ship and Port Facility (Security) Regulations 2004 [PDF].
This is mainly about security aboard ship, with some legislation about the rights of duly-appointed officers to search them under certain circumstances. There are a few clauses about port security - namely that certain areas can be designated "secure", and it is an offence to go there without authorisation, and that it is an offence not to leave such areas when told to do so. Force can be used to remove offenders.
There is nothing about photographing ports from public land - indeed, the string "photo" does not appear in the legislation at all.
