Since the International Ship and Port Facility Code
(ISPS) were agreed at IMO in December 2002, the issue of security
amongst shipping and port industries has become of paramount importance.
Warsash Maritime Academy, as a leading provider of
training to the industry, has been working in close cooperation
with the UK designated authority (TRANSEC) and the MNTB to develop
a range of courses to meet the requirements of the code.
Both the Ship and Company Security Officer courses
have been designed to meet TRANSEC requirements and are formally
approved by the MCA (UK). We are also able to offer familiarisation
courses.
