A Regional Training Course for Port Facility Security Auditors is taking place in Lebanon 12-16 December. The event in Beirut, which is being conducted in Arabic, is designed to build capacity amongst IMO Member States.
Participants from the Designated Authority (DA) will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to have effective oversight of procedures in line with key IMO maritime security measures, including the relevant provisions of SOLAS Chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code. These include assistance on how to conduct port facility security audits and the effective preparation of reporting and follow-up actions those generate.
Thirteen participants from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Libya are attending the workshop which is funded by the UK government's Department for Transport.
