Announcing NITAGS/PNI's New Port Facility, Company, and Ship Security Officer Training Program.

Since September 11 th 2001, the maritime industry has come under increasing pressure to improve security awareness and develop security measures appropriate to the threat level.

International and national regulations and guidance are in place, but your company, ship, or port facility may not be ready to meet these important requirements.

In an effort to help port authorities, facility managers, and shipping companies develop and implement their security plans, MITAGS/PMI now includes the Port Facility,

Company, and Ship Security elements in our successful 3-day training program. We tailored this course to provide a practical, comprehensive, and effective approach to solving your maritime security challenges. 2003 Dates-(log onto our website www.mitags.org 'or the most current information on dates and times).
