Maritime security training course to take online: Training institute Rood Boven Groen offers an online maritime security training course for crew members on board merchant and passenger ships following the requirements of the STCW, as amended.
Maritime security training for seafarers
Maritime security training from Rood Boven Groen aims to improve maritime security by increasing the awareness and ability of seafarers to recognise and react appropriately to security threats.
STCW security course
Rood Boven Groen’s STCW maritime security training Security Awareness and the training Designated Security Duties are approved by the Dutch Government. In the Netherlands, the approving body is the Netherlands Shipping Institute (NSI). The Netherlands Shipping Institute is responsible for the control and supervision of providers of maritime training courses. The guidelines used were drawn up by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) at the STCW Convention, an international treaty on the minimum requirements that seafarers on board professional and commercial ships must meet in terms of training, certification and watchkeeping.
Maritime security training in an e-learning environment
By following the course online, you are in complete control. In your own environment and at a time and pace that suits you, you can acquire theoretical knowledge by following this training course. Upon completion of the course, you can take the exam online. Internet and a PC, laptop or iPad are needed to do the course. If a shipping company chooses to buy multiple courses, we can make the course available to follow offline.
The training fits easily around other work and personal commitments. You can tailor the training to your needs by spending more or less time on certain topics. The exam can be taken when you feel ready, increasing your chances of passing. Following a training course online will increase sustainability because it has a smaller ecological footprint than location-based training.

Maritime security training for Cyber Security
By infecting the computers of maritime organisations that are in direct contact with ships, criminals can wreak havoc with shipping traffic and even use ships as weapons to cause chaos and destruction at ports. Shipping carries the bulk of the fuels, raw materials and goods on which the world economy runs. Some 90% of world trade takes place by sea. Around fifty thousand ocean-going vessels operate for this purpose, registered in more than 150 countries and manned by more than a million seafarers of many nationalities.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is responsible for international regulation for shipping at sea and indicates that the member states (including the Netherlands) are obliged to address cyber risks in the Safety Management System (SMS) of a ship. These should then be included by the flag state in the first annual audit of the shipping company’s Document of Compliance (DOC) after 1 January 2021. Rood Boven Groen has developed its own tool to test your knowledge of Cyber Security. You can view the tool here. This online assessment helps create awareness of cyber security.
Expanding our security course offering
Rood Boven Groen is constantly expanding and developing the training it offers. Quality is of the utmost importance; training courses are created by expert seafarers for seafarers and are adapted, as necessary, in accordance with regulation changes.
