Report of the United States Mobile Training Team: Inter-American Port Security Training Program, 2002. Regional Course on Port Security for Caribbean Countries. Held in Bridgetown, Barbados on July 22-26, 2002

摘要

Port security is a strategic area of concern for the Inter-American Committee on Ports (IACP) of the Organization of American States (OAS), to which the U.S. Maritime Administration heads the U.S. delegation and (1) chairs the IACP Technical Advisory Group on Port Security; and (2) chairs the IACP Subcommittee on Port Training. U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) is responsible for organizing, managing, and executing the Inter-American Port Security Training Program (IAPSTP) courses, as a cooperative initiative with the OAS. The objectives of the project are to reduce port and cargo security vulnerabilities of the Region's ports. The Regional Course on Port Security for the Caribbean Countries received essential and valuable support from the Barbados Port Authority and its Training and Special Services division which cosponsored the event and furnished the necessary local logistical support.
