 A new training view.Feb 06, 2007
By M. Conrad Hunter
According to Captain Ahlstrom in Vessel Security Officer, if we are to avert security incidents from threats to maritime assets, it is imperative to fashion a new approach to identifying our adversaries.
* ...anticipating how terrorists will attempt to exploit vulnerabilities at sea and in port is the key to prevent an incident. Understanding how terrorists think and operate will assist the CSO/SSO develop measures to decrease vulnerabilities. It is important to study terrorist tactics ...this guidance includes such areas as communications, security, deception, surveillance techniques, weapons/bombmaking, and armed assault tactics. P 36 - 37.
The U.S. policy has been to look for potential threats and vulnerabilities after the incident. This will not suffice any longer. We must terminate the threat before the incident is carried out.
* The goal of a ship or facility owner or operator is not to be a target - or the subject of a "transportation security incident." In light of the events, two lessons can be learned: (1) compliance with all applicable legal requirements is necessary, but not necessarily sufficient; and (2) virtually anything is now considered foreseeable. P 58.
This book gives insight into the problems facing the maritime industry in today's dangerous world and gives solutions to protecting your ship and/or port facility and stresses such important concepts as operational security (OPSEC).
* In dealing with a vessel or facility, it is essential to perform a threat assessment. A threat assessment deals with identifying vulnerabilities in procedures, physical structure, and personal training. P 76.
* All the crew should be informed not to reveal any information to strangers, contractors, or visitors. P 74.
* As the Vessel Security Officer you must ensure no one off the ship or in the crew without a need to know is shown the security assessment or security plan. P 80.
Learn how to better protect your ship or marine facility from this maritime security expert. If your mission involves the sea, you can't afford to ignore the lessons in this very important book.

 Vessel Security Officer - An OverviewMay 10, 2006
By Captain Mike
This book is a needed addition in this field. It gives a concise picture of the duties of the Vessel Security Officer and provides needed information for the performance of the position. Indeed, it is a book that will be kept by merchant marine officers as a reference manual.
