Strengthening port security is the focus of two five-day workshops on the implementation of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) for Designated Authorities and Port Facility Security Officers (PFSOs) (6-10 June and 13-17 June) in Cape Town, South Africa.

The IMO course, jointly organised with the United Kingdom Department of Transport (DfT), brings together maritime security professionals from the Department of Transport and training providers who are keen to improve their knowledge and skills to become ISPS trainers. This training course will contribute to developing a pool of maritime security experts who can conduct ISPS training in South Africa and across the region.
