Managing Port Facility Security

If your responsibility includes a maritime facility serving vessels that operate on international routes or mobile offshore drilling rigs, it is probable that you need to comply with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.

This entails, at very least, the appointment of a properly trained Port Facility Security Officer, the production of a Port Facility Security Plan, the establishment of port facility security levels and, depending on your government’s ruling, carrying out of a Post Facility Security Assessment.

The ARC Training Maritime Security Management Course (13–17 August 2007) has been designed to provide you with the skills necessary to manage the security of port facilities and to ensure that you reach the necessary standard to become ISPS compliant. The five-day interactive programme addresses not only the requirements of the ISPS Code but also provides a complete overview of a physical security regime suitable for a port facility, as well as addressing the duties of the Ship Security Officer and Company Security Officer.
