Every effort made for freedom of cargo's international transportation has reaped the fruit of global trade. The world has been enjoying the convenience of free trade. However, a terror occurred in the USA on September 11, 2001 has made the world change a point of view from “free transportation” to “safe transportation.” The interest in port security and safety has been growing by implementing ISPS Code through IMO in the field of international sea transportation which is a core of international trade. The cheap cost of port was an important item to decide in calling at a port in the past. But today any vessels cannot enter any ports and cannot depart them without port security, which is directly connected to the survival of port. This research checked that our manpower training system in charge of port security necessary to the survival of the port is not satisfactory since such a system in advanced countries is well organized and issues licenses and certificates on examination. Maritime universities have to have much interest in curriculum operation to educate and evaluate such experts in charge of port security and then participate in it. The effort should be made in introducing private qualification to evaluate port security experts.
