 *'''Kuwait – Managing and training the Coastal Protection Force'''
-:Lynceus have been responsible for training and equipping a Coastal Protection Force (CPF), made up of 150 Kuwaiti nationals, to patrol and protect a 19 x 2 km strip of coastal petrochemical infrastructure off Kuwait. Experts at Lynceus designed and delivered a 4 week course. The CPF now deals with the security of the inload and outward escort of all LNG-related shipping and this will require further more advanced first aid training, to mitigate the specific safety risks that this volatile and hazardous substance brings. Lynceus will deliver this training in the near future. Lynceus have been tasked to further enhance the utility of the CPF by providing SAR training for all boat operators. This training is now underway and the trained boat operators will become a vital component in the overall commitment to safety at sea that is demanded by organisations such as the International Maritime Organisation and others.<ref name="Expertise"/>

-:Lynceus delivered courses covering training, first aid, security operations and security supervising to members of the new in-house training team. BAPCO now have a fully integrated training team who are qualified teachers and supervisors and this is extremely invaluable to the security department. This new team of trainers is qualified to carry out all training in-house to the other security guards. A comprehensive security training phase is soon to be implemented within BAPCO so that all officers are at the same high professional standard. Lynceus trainers will now work with BAPCO trainers and when they have developed the necessary confidence and skills they will take control of the training, with Lynceus simply offering advice and mentoring. In time, BAPCO Security Department will be in the position to train their own security trainers.<ref name="Expertise"/>
