Providers of ISPS Regulatory Compliance and Training Services Worldwide
Compliance
The introduction of the International Ship and Port Security code (ISPS) and Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) on November 25th 2002, meant that in a very short time, shipping companies were required to meet detailed security criteria on all vessels and facilities. By the first quarter of 2003, Securewest International had already established a dedicated ISPS and training department in Norfolk, Virginia and delivered the first Vessel Security Assessments (VSA) and Vessel Security Plans (VSP).
Training
The training of all personnel is a requirement of the ISPS / MTSA regulations and all employees need to be aware of basic security considerations, not only for their personal safety but that of others and the vessel or facility.
Securewest Internationalšs training is interesting, thought provoking and presented in an understandable manner that will ultimately give all concerned confidence in the security of the vessel or facility.
All relevant courses meet or exceed IMO guidelines and where applicable are approved by DNV/MARAD or the UK Maritime Coastguard Agency.
The company now offers ISPS related services from all its offices around the world including the United Kingdom, USA and Singapore.
