Navigation by sea, especially in the international context and above all relating to the transport of goods in large quantities (e.g. container ships), does not exclude specific risks inherent in particular to security threats deriving from malicious third parties. Therefore, it would be advisable for the crew, as part of their training activity, to also receive training notions on safety activities with the aim of increasing the understanding and awareness of the possible threats that could occur during navigation and the related methods of maintaining security vigilance on board.

The objectives of this course are to contribute to the improvement of maritime safety through greater awareness, recognition of security threats, understanding the need for and methods of maintaining security awareness and vigilance and knowledge of the procedures to be implemented in the event of emergencies relating to maritime piracy.
