IMO training in the control of sea-going vessels

Published on 2022/05/06

The Seychelles is an important cruise tourism destination. Screening checkpoints for passengers and their baggage are key in ensuring the safety and security of international ports.  

A new IMO developed training course in maritime cruise, ferry passenger and baggage screening and searching took place at the Seychelles Defence Academy (26-28 April). Thirty officers from six government agencies* with responsibility for port terminal security learnt about effective screening and searching of passengers and their baggage. The Seychelles welcomes thousands of passengers via air and sea every year, making it extremely important to have an effective screening system.
