PSA Introduction

The STCW Convention and Code as amended by the Manila amendments (2010) contains new requirements regarding security training. All personnel employed or engaged on board ships to which the ISPS Code applies require this training. These Regulations came into force on 1 January 2012.

  • All seafarers who do not have specific security-related duties on board are required to hold a “Proficiency in Security Awareness” (PSA) Certificate either from experience or new training.

IMSA is proud to introduce their MCA approved “Proficiency in Security Awareness” course
