At Orchid Risk, we provide Maritime Security Awareness and PDSD Training following the Manila amendment (2010). On completion of these training courses, you will have an understanding and satisfactory knowledge of the importance of ship security. To find out more about each of these courses, please keep reading.
If you are a member of personnel employed or engaged on board ships to which the ISPS Code (The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code) applies, you will require Maritime Security Awareness training. This is a course for all members of ship’s crews who do not have designated security duties on-board, and who do not require SSO or PDSD certification. For those who work at sea, including waiters, entertainment staff, hairdressers, cooks, stewards and more, this course is suitable.
Upon completion of the Seafarers Security Awareness training course, you will have sufficient knowledge to contribute to the enhancement of maritime security on your ship through heightened awareness. You will also be able to recognise security threats and understand the need for, and methods of, maintaining security awareness and vigilance.
This Maritime Security Awareness training is carried out by accredited trainers who have the highest levels of maritime security experience. When you come to us at Orchid Risk for this course, you can be sure you are getting the best in the industry.
This PDSD (Proficiency in Designated Security Duties) training is required by all personnel employed or engaged on-board ships to which the ISPS Code applies. It must be undertaken by all seafarers and security personnel engaged on ship who have designated duties under the ships security plan, including anti-piracy and anti-armed robbery activities. This is also required training for former armed forces personnel looking to move into maritime security.
