An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Maritime Security Management and Control as per ISPS Code
Planning for the Good, Fighting the Bad, and
Eliminating the Ugly in Maritime Security
Course Overview
The maritime sector plays a critical role in global trade and economic stability. However, its significance also makes it vulnerable to security threats such as piracy, terrorism, smuggling, and cyber-attacks. To enhance security measures, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) established the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, a comprehensive framework designed to identify and mitigate security risks in maritime operations.
This Maritime Security Management & Control Training Course, aligned with the ISPS Code, provides maritime professionals with a deep understanding of security principles, threat management strategies, and regulatory compliance. It is essential for individuals responsible for implementing security measures on ships and port facilities, ensuring a safe and secure maritime environment.
The Managing Natural & Artificial Flowing Wells 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)
Designed to fully prepare participants for PFSO, SSO, and CSO responsibilities, this course covers security assessments for ports and ships, as well as the development, implementation, and maintenance of Port Facility Security Plans (PFSPs) and Ship Security Plans (SSPs). Additionally, participants will gain expertise in coordinating security efforts with port authorities, ship security officers, and company security officers to ensure compliance with international maritime security standards.
