Yacht’s crew should be able to detect activities on and around the ship on both shore- side and sea-side in order to determine what constitutes a threat to the yacht, crew and guests.
A properly trained crew is a strong deterrent to prevent attacks and other threats. A continuous and thorough training program should support measures to adequately protect the yacht, crew and guests. It is important that all crewmembers understand their responsibilities for yacht security and shall have sufficient knowledge and ability to perform their assigned duties and also to identify any security-related deficiencies which need to be addressed.
Additionally there is a need to provide security briefings to all crew, prior to berthing or departing, on any specific threats and the need for vigilance and for reporting suspicious persons, objects or activities.
After the course crewmembers will be in a position to better maintain an acceptable security level of the yacht related to unauthorized access.
