Maritime Security & Counterterrorism Training Videos Break All Sales Records

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL July 23, 2004 " A series of U.S.-produced maritime security and counterterrorism training videos have proven to be the fastest selling maritime training programs in history, according to Martin Glenday, President of Moxie Media. The training series is the first comprehensive ISPS Code and MTSA-compliant maritime security training program designed specifically for seaports and shipping companies to meet both US and international regulatory requirements. After only 90 days from their introduction to the market, there have been over half a million dollars in orders. The Maritime Security Compliance Video Training Series has been purchased by over a dozen foreign governments, including China, Barbados, Grenada, Montserrat, Turkey, St. Kitts & Nevis, and the United States. Other purchasers include the US Coast Guard, the Port of Los Angeles, Maersk Shipping, the US Senate, Dow Chemical, Tropical Shipping, Shell Oil, the National Park Service, TECO Barge Line, Maine State Ferry Service, Hess Oil, the University of California, V. Ships, Wackenhut Corporation, the University of Hawaii Marine Center, Domino Sugar, Crowley Maritime, GlobalSantaFe, Dynegy, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, and the University of Washington. Moxie Media co-developed the 11 video (or DVD) training program with SeaSecure LLC, a global leader in maritime security and counter-terrorism consulting.As a result of the terror attacks of 9/11, the United Nations and the United States established requirements that port and ship personnel all receive specific maritime security training, said Kim E. Petersen, President of SeaSecure, in a press conference. The extraordinary cost of sending such staff to distant learning centers, including academy fees, airfare, hotels, and time away from work, has been crippling. After receiving extensive input from government and maritime agencies, SeaSecure and Moxie Media created a training program that is easy to use, reasonably priced, and compliant with all US and international regulatory specifications. The SeaSecure & Moxie Media Maritime Security Compliance Video Series has become the standard for the industry and is in use by governments, universities, port authorities, and shipping companies around the world. Ship and seaport security training is now required due to the passage of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, and the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. The ISPS Code was adopted by the UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO) to address maritime security at all international ports and the security of ships engaged in international commerce. The US adopted the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 to codify the requirements of the ISPS Code. Both the ISPS Code and the MTSA have set strict training standards for port and ship operators.Martin Glenday, president of Moxie Media, stated that, With the passage of the July 1, 2004 compliance deadline, the US Coast Guard and foreign authorities are increasing their vigilance to ensure that all required training has been performed by ship owners and port facilities. There is no quicker way to achieve an in-house capability for training compliance and certification than through this video training series. Using the unparalleled international maritime security experience and expertise of SeaSecure, we have developed this series of programs to meet and exceed the mandatory training requirements of the ISPS Code and MTSA. The importance of these videos cannot be overstated. Ports face losing their Statement of Compliance, thereby jeopardizing future visits by ships. And without proper training of their personnel, both ships and ports face increased liability in the event of a security incident. Moxie Media is one of the United States' largest producers and distributors of training and safety programs.For the first time ever, ship, terminal, and port facility operators have the means to train an unlimited number of employees at a fraction of the cost associated with seminar and academy based programs " saving travel costs, tuition costs, and hotel and meals. More importantly, this program will significantly reduce lost time from work and increase productivity. Ports and ships will have the ability to provide ongoing and refresher training for new and returning employees at any time and at no additional charge.Also available for every training program is a comprehensive Facilitators Guide, complete with test questions and answer key. The guide provides the course facilitator with the tools necessary to efficiently and effectively instruct, test, and score students on their comprehension of the maritime security curriculum. Furthermore, Moxie Media and SeaSecure can also provide third party certification of student test results. The cost for the entire series is $2,750, with individual programs available for purchase from $295 to $450 each.
