SHIP SECURITY OFFICER (SSO) COURSE

About the course

Our course follows the ISPS Code, which is a comprehensive set of maritime security measures to enhance the safety and security of ships and port facilities against criminal, terrorist, espionage, and piracy threats.

  • Maintain and supervise the implementation of a ship security plan
