About the programme
Course Overview
Maritime and port facilities are among the most critical components of global trade infrastructure, serving as gateways for the movement of goods, people, and resources across continents.
Due to their open environments and the involvement of multiple stakeholders, these facilities face complex security challenges including smuggling, unauthorized access, piracy, operational accidents, and cyberattacks targeting logistics systems.
Securing maritime and port operations requires a comprehensive strategy that integrates physical protection, cybersecurity, access control, container monitoring, and coordination with maritime, customs, and regulatory authorities.
This workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills to develop and implement effective security plans tailored to the unique nature of maritime operations.
It emphasizes the importance of security in building trust among trade partners, protecting supply chains, and ensuring uninterrupted operations in dynamic coastal environments.
Over five intensive days, participants will gain practical tools to safeguard maritime assets, reduce risks, and enhance facility readiness against evolving threats.
