Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD) is a course that must be undertaken by all seafarers and security personnel who have been assigned designated duties under the Ship's Security Plan. Although it is the Proficiency in security awareness that is the mandatory course, we strongly advise new crew members to complete the PDSD course instead. An increasing number of superyachts are seeing it as a requirement for all of their crew. [links]
