STAR Center has added a one-day Anti-Piracy Seminar for Officers Transiting High-Risk Waters to the curriculum. This one-day program will be an optional addendum to STAR Center's two-day Vessel Security Officer Course.

The seminar will also cover U.S. Coast Guard MARSEC Directive 104-6, related Coast Guard port security advisories and International Maritime Organization guidance on the topic.
Initial dates for 2010 have been scheduled as follows: April 7, July 9 and Sept. 10.
The seminar on April 7 will include a presentation and participation by commercial contracted security experts currently providing services onboard U.S.-flagged vessels transiting high-risk waters.
Enrollment questions and/or applications should be directed to Student Services at (800) 942-3220 ext. 201 or via . The course enrollment form is available online.
