Familiarization of the Ship Security Officer

  26 It is a fundamental requirement that the Ship Security Officer (SSO) should have adequate training and be familiar with the security arrangements on the specific ship on which the SSO serves. In cases where changes in shipboard personnel involve the replacement of the serving SSO it is the responsibility of the Company to ensure that the replacement SSO has an appropriate opportunity to become familiar with the particular ship, and its SSP, on which SSO is to serve before taking over and assuming their security-related duties and responsibilities.
