Maritime Training - Ports to Freedom

​Human trafficking is happening in U.S. ports.

Often called an “invisible crime,” the signs of human trafficking are not clear to the untrained eye. You and your employees probably encounter people being exploited. If you know what to look for, you might be able to help.

“BEST created online training that’s specific
to our industry, affordable, and convenient.
I strongly encourage all of the maritime
industry to join this initiative, so together
we can end human trafficking.”


CAPT John Veentjer (USCG Retired)
Executive Director
Marine Exchange of ​Puget Sound​
