The maritime sector plays a crucial role in global trade and economic stability, but its significance also makes it susceptible to various security risks, such as piracy, terrorism, smuggling, and cyber-attacks. To counter these threats, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) developed the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, a standardized framework aimed at identifying and addressing security risks in maritime operations.
The Maritime Security Management & Control per ISPS Code Training Course is specifically designed to equip maritime professionals and others in related fields with a comprehensive understanding of security principles, threat management strategies, and ISPS Code compliance. This training is essential for those responsible for implementing security protocols aboard ships and in port facilities to ensure a safe and secure maritime environment.
This Maritime Security Management & Control as per ISPS Code training course incorporates the IMO Model Course 3.19 for Ship Security Officers (SSOs), IMO Model Course 3.20 for Company Security Officers (CSOs), and IMO Model Course 3.21 for Port Facility Security Officers (PFSOs). The course prepares participants to effectively assume the responsibilities of PFSOs, SSOs, and CSOs. Attendees will gain practical skills in securing ports and vessels, conducting Port and Ship Security Assessments, and developing, implementing, maintaining, and updating Port Facility Security Plans (PFSP) and Ship Security Plans (SSP). Additionally, the course emphasizes essential coordination with port authorities, SSOs, and CSOs.
By the end of the training course, participants will be able to:
The Maritime Security Management & Control as per ISPS Code training course is specifically tailored to support professionals involved in maritime security operations, particularly those responsible for managing or overseeing security measures at port facilities. Additionally, it enhances awareness among personnel assigned specific or potential roles within an established security framework, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of security protocols and best practices.
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
