The Fast Track to ISPS Code and National Security Regulation Implementation and the Implications for Marine Educators
A literature review of the national regulations of Canada, the United States, and the UK have revealed a number of factors that have affected quality of instruction in the field of maritime security. The speed of development and implementation of the ISPS Code is the root cause of a plethora of problems affecting marine educators and trainers (MET). Port state security regulations have not completely matched the ISPS Code and the result has been a struggle to develop training that addresses both. Deviant national regulations have been often passed as “just-in-time” legislation. For training providers this problem is exacerbated as the seafarer’s country of residence, the flag state of the vessel, and the port state visited, are frequently not the same. Many of the training topics listed in the ISPS Code are outside the purview of most maritime lecturers, and the IMO Train-the-Trainer Course has not been conducted in a timely enough manner. A number of administrations recognize the IMO model course outlines while others insist on guidelines and timelines that differ. The myraid of training providers that have surfaced, how such providers are scrutinized, and how the associated course offerings are approved needs to be addressed uniformly. This may have significant impact on proposed amendments to the STCW Code for Ship Security Officer certification. Port State Control Officers have training, and expectations may vary from country to country or indeed from person to person.
