• Description:
  Three international port security training courses were organized and managed by the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) and conducted during the fall of 1998 in Panama, Peru, and Barbados as principal activities of the Inter-American Port Security Training Program (IAPSTP). These courses attracted regional participants from throughout Central and South American and the Caribbean. The multinational format provided each group opportunity for interaction with regional counterparts on port and cargo security issues of mutual concern. As a result, recommendations were developed for follow-on activities through regional cooperative initiatives. Implementation of the recommendations from these courses for regional approaches to counter seaport crime should contribute to the efforts to develop a broad hemispheric strategy for improving inter-American port and cargo security in the 21st century.
