Port Facility Security Personnel with Designated Security Duties

How can port security personnel help protect facilities, control access, and respond effectively to security threats? Effective port security relies on personnel who understand their responsibilities, recognise suspicious activity, and follow established procedures to safeguard port operations and restricted areas.

Port Facility Security Personnel with Designated Security Duties by LMA is a two-day course covering SOLAS Chapter XI-2, the ISPS Code, access control, threat recognition, surveillance, security communications, and incident response. Through practical demonstrations, role-play, and case studies, participants will strengthen their ability to apply security procedures, report incidents accurately, and support the implementation of the Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP).

The proposed condensed programme is based on the published scope of IMO Model Course 3.24 (2018 Edition) and should be checked against the complete model course and applicable national approval requirements before being represented as meeting a prescribed training standard.
