You are on gangway watch in port at Security Level 1. A delivery driver arrives with stores ordered by the chief steward/stewardess, but you were not informed in advance and the driver has no identification or paperwork referencing the vessel. What should you do?
A. Only check the driver's identity if the security level is 2 or above
B. Do not allow the goods aboard or the driver access until their identity and the legitimacy of the delivery have been verified (e.g. by contacting the chief steward/stewardess or the agent to confirm the order), in line with the ship's procedures for screening persons, baggage, and stores even at Security Level 1
C. Search the delivery vehicle yourself without involving anyone else, then allow it aboard regardless of the outcome
D. Allow the goods aboard immediately since stores deliveries are routine and refusing might cause a delay
