Including ISPS Requirements in the MET Scheme of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport through its Regional Maritime Security Institute

This paper describes how Met is generally defined as the process which provides education and training for seafarers at operational and management levels in the shipping industry. The continuous development of MET in AAST-MT depends on the ability to implement the requirements of international conventions and codes, such as the ISPS Code, and the capability of providing the necessary type of training to various cultures. The comprehensive new regulatory regime which was adopted in a Diplomatic Conference on Maritime Security at the end of 2002 describes in detail what shipping companies, port authorities, ships, crews, and other should do in order to minimize any threat of the shipping industry. The Egyptian Government, represented by its Maritime Administration, has issued a national decree in order to establish the Regional Institute for Maritime Security. AAST-MT assumed responsibility to establish this institute in order to serve Egypt and regional countries in implementing the requirements of the ISPS code.
