Hello!

I tried to apply for the company mentioned, but they are dealing with military personnel only. I have a police background and special forces experience and a few contracts as chief security officer on passenger ship. Can somebody recommend me a company or give some contacts?

Thank you!

You need to first get a Ships Security Officers qualification before you start applying. This is one of the basic requirements. Some cruise lines will pay for additional courses but you would also need to get your STCW and certain other ship/maritime related courses done as well.

It might not always be the case.

When they need people, they tend to lower their standards.
Also, Princess regularly takes people that are quite low in security, like mall security, or traffic controllers, from India, Canada, US ... and if they get good at what they start to do onboard, Princess will send them to Warsash Maritime Academy in England, to get them certified for Chief Security Officer job.
It will also provide them with advanced firefighting course at the same time.

However, if a candidate wants to spend money to get himself certified in advance, it can only help, but can also get costly.

Understood and agreed with, however, with NCL, they required that you do have a SSO course before you apply and police/investigative background. Our standards are a littler stricter, so it seems.

I don't think so. Any terrorist with a couple of k $ can go to England or USA and get SSO course in 3-5 days.
As for police/investigative background of a candidate for security job, I imagine it could easily be forged, and knowing how things work in cruise industry, I doubt Cruise companies would go the distance to contact foreign countries' police authorities or military regiments to investigate a candidate.

Not wanting to push the issue any further, i work in the onboard surveillance department and checks were done on me with my previous employer. like i said, each company has different approaches to the whole issue of hiring and training. NCL is a little stricter than most. All of our SSOs are either ex police from the UK/USA or ex Royal Navy.

anyway, what i am advising potential candidates is to get their SSO course done as it will improve thier chances of being hired and to be a little careful if not truthful on your resume/cv.

I agree that candidates should educate as much as they can.
Just curious, did u know that Princess uses bulletproof doors at gangways while in port? Two LRADs on each ship as well.

Princess cruising around Iraq and Afghanistan?  b00/

What is your itinerary? And no, i wasn't aware of that...our shell doors are thick enough. We dont have LRAD but our one ship has water cannons. We sail in the Med and around the USA and Europe...so unless there are Viking longboats around our chances of being attacked by pirates is almost non-existantal.

Terrorist attacks? well...that is something that we cannot see or predict. Our biggest problem on our ships is Spring Breakers..

Princess got serious about security after this: http://www.cruisebruise.com/Michael_Groves.html
The SECO involved was hired through the same channel as Princess Cruises SECO's.

About the bulletproofed doors ... it is the separate doors that Sec. staff install as soon as ship touch the port and erect landing ramp.
You leave them open, but can shut them closed as soon as you reach the lever. Princess figures, it might be too long to wait for a "shell door party" to assemble if gangway security staff see somebody strapped with explosive running in. So they came up with this doors.
Major drag to put them on and off.
