Port Incidents, Drills and Inspections
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 03:19. Your yard patrol calls: "Supervisor, a man is inside the fence near berth 4. No bright vest. No pass that I can see. He is walking towards the ship." At the same moment gate 1 reports a long queue of trucks, and your waterside guard is due a check call.
The guards have done their part. They saw and they reported. The next ten minutes are yours.
Focus: in a port incident you lead the guards' first response, you keep every other post working, and you hand over to the port's officers and the authorities with a clear record. Drills and inspections test that same work on a quiet day.
Learning objectives
- Lead the guards' first response to a breach, a stowaway find and a suspicious boat.
- Keep your other posts filled during an incident.
- Treat an instruction that arrives only by message with care.
- Say what counts as a security incident, and report it the right way.
- Run the guard part of a drill or an exercise, and learn from it.
- Support an audit or an inspection honestly.
