IMO global programmes on maritime security

Under the Integrated Technical Co-operation Programme there are a range of technical assistance activities planned within two global programmes, including support for security seminars/workshops and train-the-trainer courses.

IMO has urged Member States and industry to support the International Maritime Security Trust Fund and the two global programmes, in particular with regards to making experts with practical experience of the implementation of security measures available to assist in future technical co-operation projects for capacity-building.
