Port Facility Security Personnel (PFS)
Port Facility Security Personnel (PFS)
The KEK KEPETH, which has been operating continuously since 1991 with the aim of implementing Lifelong Learning Programs in collaboration with the KEK MASTER, organizes a series of seminars concerning the training of personnel guarding port facilities.
Ports are an essential link in the entire transport chain. Recognizing the danger, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in December 2002 proceeded to amend the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS Convention - Safety of Life at Sea) and the adoption of the international code for the safety of ships and port facilities (ISPS Code – International ships and ports security).
The security planning followed includes, in principle, the Security Assessment where the vulnerability of critical functions, infrastructures and equipment and the consequences of an illegal action against them are examined, in order to select appropriate mitigation strategies.
