Last August 28-29, 2018, Magsaysay Learning Resources, Inc. (MLRI) delivered the Maritime Security (MARSEC) Awareness for Port Facility Personnel With and Without Security Duties courses to the management team and security officers of Keppel Subic Shipyard Inc. at Cabangaan Point Street, Subic, Zambales. This was the first run of the MARSEC courses since MLRI received accreditation from the Department of Transportation-Office for Transportation Security (DOTr-OTS). Attended by twenty-one (21) participants, the 2-day training provided the Keppel’s management team and security personnel practical knowledge to conduct security assessment, develop and implement security plan, and prevent circumvention of security measures. After the training, an Assessor from DOTr-OTS conducted the examination to the participants.
Located in the Special Economic Zone of Subic, Keppel Subic features one of the largest drydocks in the Philippines and is capable of co-drydockings, providing greater flexibility and turnaround times for ship owners.
