The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS) came into force in 2004 as an amendment to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention. It highlights requirements on maritime security including, minimum security arrangements for ships, ports facilities, and government agencies. It specifies the responsibilities of governments, shipping companies, shipboard personnel, and port facility personnel to detect security threats and take preventive measures against security incidents affecting ships or port facilities.

To calculate a ship's stability and be able to load maximum cargo, it is imperative that the density of the dock water in which the ship is floating is determined. To do so, the correct use of the hydrometer should be learned. This course not only provides the theoretical use and importance of hydrometers but also includes a video demonstrating its application.

This course, with relevant checklists and work instructions, applies to Tankers carrying MARPOL Annex I cargo and Combination Carriers when carrying oil.

The threat of a bomb or IED - Improvised Explosive Device on board a ship is a significant security concern for any shipping company. Ships can be highly vulnerable to such potential threats due to the complexity of their structures, which can offer endless opportunities to conceal suspicious objects. In addition, it is not always possible to ensure systematic control of access to people, visitors, passengers, stakeholder representatives, baggage, stores, spare parts and cargo on board, especially during routine operations and in the light of smaller and less well-trained crews.

In this course, you will learn about The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. This code describes how vessels, ports and government agencies should act when it comes to security. It gives you guidance on how to act when working in the maritime industry.
