Your examiner asks: "Does the ISPS Code require security training only for the SSO, or does it apply to the whole crew? Explain the distinction."

A. The ISPS Code distinguishes between different levels of security training. ALL shipboard personnel, regardless of role, must receive basic SECURITY AWARENESS training — sufficient to understand security roles and responsibilities on board, recognise security threats and respond appropriately, and understand the need for and adherence to the SSP. The SHIP SECURITY OFFICER, however, requires significantly more extensive, specialised, certificated training covering the Ship Security Assessment process, developing/maintaining/implementing the SSP, security equipment and systems, and techniques used to circumvent security measures — this is a distinct, higher level of competence, not merely "more of the same awareness training."

B. Only the SSO requires any form of security training under the ISPS Code — ordinary crew members have no training obligation at all, regardless of their duties.

C. All crew members, including the SSO, receive identical training content and there is no meaningful distinction in depth or scope between general crew awareness training and SSO training.

D. Security training is entirely optional under the ISPS Code and is left to individual company discretion with no baseline requirement for any category of shipboard personnel.
