Maritime Security Management &
Control as per ISPS Code

The maritime industry plays a crucial role in global trade and economic stability, but it also faces significant security threats such as piracy, terrorism, smuggling, and cyber-attacks. To address these risks, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) established the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, a standardized framework designed to enhance security in maritime operations.

The Maritime Security Management & Control as per ISPS Code training course equips maritime professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to manage security risks effectively. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of security concepts, threat management strategies, and ISPS Code compliance, ensuring they are prepared to implement security measures for ships and port facilities.

This training course integrates key IMO training modules, including Model Course 3.19 for Ship Security Officers (SSOs), Model Course 3.20 for Company Security Officers (CSOs), and Model Course 3.21 for Port Facility Security Officers (PFSOs). By completing this training course, participants will be fully prepared to handle the responsibilities of PFSOs, SSOs, and CSOs. The training course covers essential areas such as conducting security assessments, developing and implementing security plans, and coordinating with port authorities and security officers.
