New ship security course
Last week, the first candidates completed their two week training for the maritime vessel protection course run by international maritime and offshore industry risk consultants, Eos Risk Management.
The unique ELC eligible course consists of two weeks intensive training on Ship Security, Company Security, Port Facility Security, 4 Module STCW 95, Maritime Security Risk Management, CHF Radio Operations and Weapon System Management.
David Johnson, Eos Risk managing director explained: “The situation with piracy, particularly in the waters surrounding the Horn of Africa, is very serious and costs our global economy billons in lost time, cargo, insurance and counter measures every year.”
“We spent many months planning the content of this course from our own vessel protection experience as a benchmark for the maritime protection industry”, he continued.
Highly qualified course instructors were able to bring their practical anti-piracy experience in delivering counter measures in high risk waters to the 17 course candidates.
The course has been designed to meet the requirements set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) with regards to the selection of private security personnel looking to provide armed maritime anti-piracy security services.
