Security Level Changes and Working with Ships
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not ISPS Code training and is not recognised by any port or maritime authority.
It is 02:10. The control room calls you: "Supervisor, the port facility goes to security level 2 from 02:30. Written order follows." You have twenty minutes, eleven guards and four posts that must change.
Nobody has told you why. You need to know what your posts do at level 2, who goes where, and how you will show it was done.
Focus: a level change is an order from the government, and the port gives it to you. Your part is to brief, post, record and escalate. The agreement with a ship is the business of the port facility security officer and the ship.
Learning objectives

- Keep your team ready for a level change.

- Work with a ship's officers and gangway watch through the right channel.
