Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) Course

Delivered by genuine experts in maritime security, our Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) course can be delivered at our offices in London or at the offices of a client.

What is it?

A Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) is responsible for the development and maintenance of the Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP).  The Port Facility Security Plan details the operational and physical security measures the port facility will undertake to ensure that it continually operates at a minimum of Security Level 1 and outlines the extended measures to operate at Security Levels 2 and 3.

This three day intensive course meets the requirements of the United Kingdom’s Department for Transport (Maritime Security) Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) specifications as laid out in the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) and the guidance laid out in the SOLAS Regulations 1974.
