Introduction to ISPS Code
The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code symbolizes a consensus-driven effort to bolster security on a global scale, designed to counter menaces to ships and port facilities. Originating as a result of the 9/11 atrocities in the United States, it is embodied within the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, specifically in chapter XI-2, which is focused on intensifying maritime safety. Consisting of a dual structure with both obligatory and advisory sections, the crux of the ISPS Code mandates a risk management approach tailored to the unique needs of each ship and port facility. This ISPS code and marine security management course enables sovereign entities to balance the scales of threat and vulnerability, refining security measures in line with established security levels.

Target Audience This ISPS code training course targets individuals who are responsible for maritime security within port facilities, including those designated with specific duties under existent security schemes. The ISPS code and marine security management course aims to escalate awareness among personnel implementing security functions.

Course Objectives Upon the completion of this maritime security training course, participants will possess the competence to: -Comprehend the port facility's nature and gauge the influence exerted by the ISPS code. -Delineate the ISPS code requirements comprising its obligatory and consultative regulations. -Employ risk assessment instruments for the Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA). -Design intricate Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) structures at three distinct security echelons with a fortified understanding of security intricacies. -Execute the port facility security plan effectively, fostering cooperation with the ship's security officer and master.

Competencies Aimed Participants in the ISPS code and marine security management course will be adept at the following: -Align with the ISPS Code mandates and their application. _Interacting with ships engaged in international travel alongside other categories incorporated within the code. -Refine risk evaluation skills and the identification of vital infrastructure. -Formulate staunch security measures to reinforce protection levels. -Boost their professional clout within the maritime security sphere.
