STCW introduced mandatory training for Ship Security Officer on 1st January 2008 under Reg VI, Code A –VI/5. Now with the increasing number of Piracy and armed robbery incidents happening in many parts of the world STCW amendment 2010 has made obligatory w.e.f. 1st January 2014 security training for all seafarers with designated security duties, so as to provide them with the knowledge and training to implement procedures to make their ship a more secure place.

The course provides participants with the knowledge required to empower personnel without designated security duties in connection with a Ship Security Plan (SSP) to enhance ship security in accordance with the requirements of Chapter XI-2 of SOLAS 74 as amended, the ISPS Code, and section A –VI/6-1 of the STCW Code, as amended.
