Course Description
This course is intended to meet the requirements set out in sections A/2.1.7 and A/II of the ISPS Code and corresponding guidance in Part B of the Code and relevant UK legislation.
The course will cover security both onboard the ship and the interface between ship, operating company and port facility.
The background to the ISPS Code and relevant legislation introduce the course. The course then discusses the company security organisation, the roles of the CSO, SSO and PFSO, general security requirements, security administration, ship security assessments, risk management, security threats and patterns with the consideration of persons likely to threaten security.
The preparation of elements of a ship security plan, methods of physical searches, the recognition and detection of weapons and the beneficial use of security equipment and systems are introduced. The need for Training and Drills are addressed including practical measures to achieve implementation. The importance for all personnel to be aware of and adhere to pre-planned emergency procedures is considered together with crowd management techniques. Security contingencies and appropriate responses are discussed and prepared.
The course concludes with a final written examination.
