Why Choose this Training Course?

The maritime industry is a cornerstone of global trade and economic stability. However, its significance also makes it a key target for security threats, including piracy, terrorism, smuggling, and cyber-attacks. To enhance security measures and mitigate these risks, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) established the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, providing a structured framework for securing maritime operations.

This Maritime Security Management & Control Training Course, aligned with the ISPS Code, is designed to equip maritime professionals with essential security strategies, threat assessment techniques, and regulatory compliance knowledge. It is particularly beneficial for those overseeing security measures on ships and port facilities, ensuring a well-protected maritime environment.

The Maritime Security Management & Control as per ISPS Code training course integrates key IMO training programs, including:

IMO Model Course 3.19 – Ship Security Officer (SSO)
IMO Model Course 3.20 – Company Security Officer (CSO)
IMO Model Course 3.21 – Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO)

Participants will be fully prepared to take on PFSO, SSO, and CSO responsibilities, gaining expertise in securing ports and vessels, conducting Port and Ship Security Assessments, and developing, implementing, and maintaining Port Facility Security Plans (PFSPs) and Ship Security Plans (SSPs). Additionally, the course covers effective coordination with port authorities, ship security officers, and company security officers, ensuring compliance with international maritime security standards.
