In response to projected threats to ships and port facilities in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) was created. It is a comprehensive collection of procedures to improve the security of ships and port facilities. The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, chapter XI-2 Special measures to enhance maritime security, implements the ISPS Code. A required section and a recommendatory section make up the Code.
In this course the participants coming from companies that operate marine terminals will be provided with the necessary knowledge and updated tools and skills that will enable them to successfully handle various technical and safety issues during terminal operations such as cargo transfer support, including custody transfer, emergency response and vessel berthing support, according to international regulations and standards. This training course will focus on both managerial and technical aspects of the terminal operation that are prerequisites for the successful operation of such complex facilities.
Marine operations include the movement, berthing, and un-berthing of ships and other marine crafts within the limits and approaches of the port authority. Ships are the main means of transport of various liquids and gases, some of which are hazardous and extremely dangerous, if mishandled, to port workers as well as marine flora and fauna. Thus, vessels carrying dangerous material need to be effectively managed to ensure safety. Marine safety involves the prevention of damage and pollution to the marine environment through strict rules, restrictions and legislations.

This course covers many topics including shipping lines, container tankers, dry bulk, and port-centric logistics; it is a helpful, up-to-date resource for students of logistics and logistics professionals.
The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) is a comprehensive set of measures to enhance the security of ships and port facilities, developed in response to the perceived threats to ships and port facilities in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. The ISPS Code is implemented through chapter XI-2 Special measures to enhance maritime security in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974. The Code has two parts, one mandatory and one recommendatory.
Marine operations include the movement, berthing, and un-berthing of ships and other marine crafts within the limits and approaches of the port authority.

In today’s oil & gas industry, the transport of crude and other refined products is predominantly done by large sea carriers. In this respect, the organization and safe & operation of marine terminals are considered of utmost importance for efficiently transferring and storing petrol products at the designated facilities. Professionals in charge of operating and managing Oil & Gas Marine Terminals are required to have full and updated knowledge of Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) aspects, including mechanical integrity of equipment and safety of operating procedures that are governed by international regulations and standards, ISGOTT, EMA, etc., together with the environmental pollution protection aspects, according to MARPOL Convention.
In this course the participants coming from companies that operate marine terminals will be provided with the necessary knowledge and updated tools and skills that will enable them to successfully handle various technical and safety issues during terminal operations such as cargo transfer support, including custody transfer, emergency response and vessel berthing support, according to international regulations and standards.
