Maritime Security Management and Control as Per ISPS Code Course
Introduction:
In response to the perceived threats posed to ships and port facilities following the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) was established. It comprises a comprehensive set of measures aimed at enhancing the security of ships and port facilities. The ISPS Code is implemented through chapter XI-2 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, which focuses on special measures to bolster maritime security. The Code consists of two parts: one that is mandatory and another that provides recommendations.
Course Objectives:
At the end of the 5-day program, delegates should be able to:
- Define the nature of their facility and how they are affected by the requirements of the ISPS code
- Identify the mandatory and guidance regulations of the ISPS code
- Develop risk assessment tools towards the Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA)
- Construct the 3 levels of the Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) with enhanced knowledge of security issues
- Effectively operate and interact with the port facility security plan with the ships security officer and ships master
Who Should Attend?
The program will be of benefit to those who find themselves responsible for or involved with maritime security at port facilities. In addition, it will raise awareness for personnel who have been allocated potential or specific tasks in an existing security program.
