Maritime-specific cyber awareness training for seafarers, designed for shipboard realities and STCW Maritime Cyber Security Awareness alignment. Codesecure delivers role-tailored training for masters, deck officers, engineers, ratings and crew managers with simulated phishing and knowledge testing.
Crew cyber awareness training is maritime-specific security awareness for seafarers and shore-side maritime personnel. Unlike generic corporate awareness training (which assumes office workers, broadband internet, IT helpdesk in the next room), maritime training addresses shipboard reality: USB media from port visits and surveyors, limited shore IT support during voyages, crew use of personal devices on bridge / crew Wi-Fi, supply-chain compromise via vendor technicians, BEC targeting bunker and charter operations.
Codesecure delivers training across role tiers: bridge command (master, deck officers, ECDIS-trained navigators), engine room (chief engineer, ETO, engineers, ratings), crew (ABs, ratings, cadets), and shore (crew managers, fleet IT, ops, charter and bunker desks). Content is aligned with STCW Maritime Cyber Security Awareness guidance, IMO MSC.428(98) expectations and class-society audit requirements.
Crew error is the most common entry point for maritime cyber incidents. USB media plugged into bridge PCs, phishing emails to operations desks, weak passwords on crew portals, vendor technician laptops touching OT, and BEC scams diverting bunker payments all require human error to succeed. Training measurably reduces the click-through rate and improves incident-reporting time.
Awareness training is also explicitly expected. IMO MSC.428(98) expects training in vessel SMS. IACS UR E26 / E27 reference awareness for crew. TMSA 3 Element 13 includes training as a KPI. STCW now has Maritime Cyber Security Awareness as a planned competency area for seafarer certification. Insurance underwriters increasingly ask for evidence of crew training.

45-minute call with our maritime training lead. Bring your fleet, current training state and crew manager goals, leave with a phased annual training roadmap. Instant response, no delay.
Book Free Strategy CallEvery Crew Training engagement follows a 5-phase methodology aligned with IMO and IACS guidance:
Scoping call, NDA, fleet survey, role mapping, current training review, class-society and Flag expectations.
Modules tailored to vessel types, trade routes, charterers, OT estate; localisation for Indian / Filipino / Eastern European crew mixes.
Pilot training with one vessel and shore cohort, feedback incorporation, knowledge-test calibration.
Full fleet rollout via e-learning, instructor-led shore sessions, on-board crew briefings, tabletop exercises.
Quarterly phishing simulations, annual refresh content, role-change retraining, completion reporting to crew manager.
Every Crew Training engagement ships with the same operational handoff:
Most crew training programmes design and pilot in 4-6 weeks, then roll out fleet-wide over 2-3 months. Instant response, no delay, kickoff scheduled same or next business day after scoping.
Scoping, role mapping, content customisation for fleet and trade.
Pilot with one vessel and shore cohort. Refine. Begin fleet rollout.
Quarterly phishing simulations. Annual refresh. New crew onboarding integrated.
// Frameworks & Standards We Cover
30-minute call with our maritime training lead. Discuss your fleet, crew mix and class-society audit timelines with no sales pressure.
Schedule Free CallYes. Maritime crew is typically multinational and English-dominant but multilingual delivery improves engagement. We support English, Hindi, Tagalog, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Spanish and others. Knowledge tests and certificates remain in English for class / Flag uniformity.
Crew training pricing varies by fleet size, role tier coverage, delivery mix (e-learning vs instructor-led) and phishing simulation cadence. We provide a fixed-fee scoped proposal within 24-48 hours of scoping. Annual programmes scale down per-vessel as content reuses across the fleet.
Yes. On-board crew briefings are typically delivered by master / ETO using our prepared content during regular safety meetings, or by Codesecure consultants during port-call visits. E-learning modules also run offline on shipboard workstations and sync completion records when shore link is up.
Instant response, no delay. We respond within an hour during business hours, send a fixed-fee scoped proposal in 24-48 hours under NDA, and start programme design same or next business day after sign-off.
Maritime crew turnover is built into the design. New-joiner training is automatic, role-change retraining is triggered by HR / crew manager system, and certificates carry over with the seafarer when they move ships within the fleet. The shore crew manager dashboard shows completion at any moment.
Yes. Training evidence (knowledge test results, completion certificates, phishing simulation results, tabletop exercise reports) is aligned to IMO MSC.428(98) SMS expectations, IACS UR E26 / E27 awareness requirements, and TMSA 3 Element 13 KPIs. It is accepted by IRS, DNV, BV, LR, ABS and major charterer vetting programmes.
Yes. We support SCORM-compliant LMS integration and SCORM / xAPI export. Many of our clients run training through their existing LMS (Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Marlins, OneOcean) with our content imported. We also offer hosted delivery if you prefer.
