Company Security Officer courses are not considered Coast Guard Approved training as there are currently no Coast Guard regulations governing their approval. However, these parts have been reviewed and found to meet the standards of competence for Company Security Officer provided in 33 CFR 104.210. If U.S. regulations are issued regarding training for Company Security Officers, you may be required to resubmit your course materials to the Coast Guard for formal approval in accordance with 46 CFR 10.402. A determination will be made at that time regarding the grandfathering of those mariners having received training prior to the approval. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you maintain compliance with the standards applicable to approved training, including the use of the instructors listed in the enclosure.

 

Any applicant successfully completing the Company Security Officer (MARINS-559) course will satisfy the training requirements of 33 CFR 104.210 for Company Security Officers.
