Maritime Course Standard

BASIC STSDSD COURSE

The STCW STSDSD (Security Training for Seafarers with Designated Security Duties) course, offered by Nirzara, is a mandatory training module for all mariners assigned specific security tasks on board. Updated to meet the latest 2026 maritime security frameworks, this course ensures crew members can effectively protect the vessel, passengers, and cargo.

At Nirzara, you will learn how to identify security threats, maintain ship security plans, handle piracy risks, and conduct systematic search procedures. You will also master the use of onboard security equipment and learn how to prevent weapons or dangerous substances from entering the vessel. This certification is non-negotiable for working on merchant navy ships or cruise liners.
