Stowaways are every ship operator's nightmare, causing problems for the crew, and legal and financial problems for shipowners and port authorities.
Avoidance is the only possible solution, and Videotel Marine International offers practical advice with the launch of an update to its original award winning programme "Coping with Stowaways", revisiting the subject and mixing new interview footage reflecting recently revised management and security information.
"Coping with Stowaways – Edition 2" highlights the dangers that can face a Master and crew when dealing with stowaways and offers practical advice on how to raise security levels to ensure the problem is avoided. It focuses on the need for vigilance to prevent stowaways gaining access to the ship and the procedures to be adopted if stowaways do succeed in boarding.
The course is aimed at all crew on all ships but particularly officers concerned with ensuring the security of the ship. It is available as a DVD with supporting booklet and an interactive CD-ROM.
