Public
Anyone with responsibilities (decision-making and operations) in the maritime transport and port sectors.
Maritime transport security is a key concern today. It is a real economic challenge, and security is developing in an environment of high international standards in port areas subject to the ISPS Code. As such, all port authorities and port facility operators are required to train Port Facility Security Officers.
Security is also an important commercial issue, a factor in reliability and competitiveness. As such, the security of transport operations is part of the overall quality expected by customers.
