Designated Security Duties

For seafarers with designated security duties, this training is a critical component of maritime safety. It is a mandatory requirement established under the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). Those individuals who have been assigned specific security responsibilities on board vessels are required to complete the STCW Designated Security Duties training and obtain an official certificate attesting to their successful completion.


The course encompasses various aspects of security, including identifying potential threats such as piracy, terrorism, and stowaways. Seafarers are trained in security equipment usage, communication protocols, and emergency response procedures, enabling them to effectively respond to security incidents and maintain a secure environment on the ship. By fostering a heightened sense of vigilance and preparedness, this training contributes significantly to the overall safety and security of the vessel, its cargo, crew, and passengers. It ensures that those with designated security duties are wellprepared to carry out their responsibilities and respond promptly and effectively in security-related emergencies.


In conclusion, the STCW Designated Security Duties online course is an essential element of maritime security and
safety. It equips seafarers with the necessary expertise to recognize, mitigate, and manage security threats, ultimately ensuring a secure environment on board. Compliance with this training requirement is not only a legal obligation but also a crucial step in safeguarding lives, assets, and the integrity of the maritime industry.


The primary objective of the Designated Security Duties online course is to enhance awareness among seafarers about
the diverse security threats that may be encountered while on board a ship, and equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain security effectively.
