According to IMO Circular STCW.7/Circ.17 (Dated 24 May 2011), Security training requirements found in Regulation VI/6 of the 2010 Manila Amendments must be completed by January 2014 for certification. “Seafarers around the world have a relatively short time-frame to meet the new STCW training requirements that involve security training”, stated Captain Tim Nease (Ret.), IMSN’s CEO. “We are honored to have worked together with MTI in the development of these CBT courses and are hopeful they will offer shipping companies and mariners a practical and affordable way to meet this daunting training task”.
The Liberian Registry (LISCR) recently certified IMSN’s Seafarers with Designated Security Duties CBT course. “We are pleased to present IMSN with certification for this course as they have fully demonstrated compliance with the proficiency standards as set forth in STCW – Regulation VI/6 of the 2010 Manila Amendments”
, stated Carl Drumgoole, Dir. of Training Center and Course Approval for LISCR. “The Liberian Registry recognizes the logistical and feasibility challenges maritime companies face in meeting the training requirements in a timely fashion. Accordingly, we have taken a proactive approach by extending training certification beyond just the classroom venue.”
