All contributions greatly assist the delivery of activities under IMO's Global Technical Co-operation Programme on Maritime Security. The Programme has included many activities aimed at enhancing maritime security and in particular the implementation of the maritime security measures adopted by IMO - including SOLAS1 chapter XI-2 (Special measures to enhance maritime security) and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, which were adopted in 2002 and entered into force in July 2004. By the end of 2005, 22 regional seminars/workshops and 87 national training courses/advisory missions will have been organized, resulting in some 4,000 people being trained globally. In addition, a total of 17 sub-regional maritime security "Train-the-Trainer" courses will have been successfully delivered. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
