In West Africa and Southeast Asia including Somalia, piracy attacks still take place that threaten safety of ships and the lifes of seafarers. In order to protect Korean flag ships and the seafarers on board from piracy attacks, the government of the Republic of Korea established the Act to Prevent Piracy Attacks on International Ships on Dec. 27, 2016. This act legally provides for the establishment of Maritime Security Operatives (MSO) on board ships navigating high risk areas to ensure security. Furthermore, mandated training for MSOs is required to prepare them to carry out their duties effectively. In this paper, a new training course for MSOs according to domestic law is suggested through analysis of IMO documents and the MSO training provided by foreign nations.
