Vessel Sanitation Training
The Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) offers training seminars six times per year. Only cruise ship management staff can attend. Visit VSP Seminar Training for more information about training dates and registration.
Seminars are specifically designed for the cruise ship industry; they focus on public health practices that are important for protection of cruise ship passengers and crew. The training is based on criteria from the current VSP Operations Manual [PDF – 4.88 MB] and other public health resources.
Topics covered during the seminar are grouped in three categories.
