Our Vision - MFSO Training
“To give Marine Terminal Operators and Port Authorities the highest quality Maritime Security Training in Canada.”

MFSO Training

The Marine Facility Security Officer (MFSO) training course (LIVE IN ZOOM INSTRUCTOR LED.) provides the training required for compliance with the Marine Transportation Security Regulations (MTSR).

The course is conducted over a two-day period in an online virtual classroom. The virtual classroom is led by an instructor with a significant amount of industry experience.

This course framework has been developed to meet the requirements of the ISPS Code for global standards of Port Facility Security Officer roles and responsibilities as set out in the guidelines of IMO Model Course 3.19. and to comply with Transport Canada Marine Transportation Security Regulations (MTSR).

After successful completion of the course the trainees will be able to undertake the duties and responsibilities for implementing a Marine Facility Security Plan. This includes security actions to perform security drills and exercises, reviews of security documents, audits of security activities, conducting security inspections, reporting and responding to security threats, security incidents and breaches of security, support to port personnel and record keeping requirements.

Compliance and Certification

Under Transport Canada’s Marine Transportation Security Regulations (MTSR) Approved facilities require trained MFSO’s for the facility to remain compliant.
