The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) accredited, 4-Day Company Security Officer 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.

v. Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts (SUA) and protocols; vi. EU and UK Legislation; vii. Best management practices (BMP) – latest version and other government guidance; he roles and responsibilities of relevant bodies and organisations with regard to

The course will cover security both on board 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.
