Maritime Security Teams
We have extensive experience in the Gulf of Aden, Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean and Gulf of Guinea regions and fully understand the risk presented to vessel, cargo, master and crew in the marine environment.
We provide armed or unarmed teams and pride ourselves on the quality of our people and the service we deliver. Our teams are highly qualified and meet all internationally recognised standards. They are regularly vetted and are experts in maritime security operations. Guards can be British or a mix of other nationalities to meet your needs and budgetary requirements.
ISPS Ship Security Assessment and Plan Services
We can supply an ISPS qualified assessor (according to para 8.4-B) to conduct the inspection of your vessel, Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) or installation to help you gain flag state approval.
The assessor will be able to produce your Ship or Port Security assessment in line with the requirements of the ISPS code and outline a Ship or Port Facility Security Plan. They will provide guidance and instruction throughout the ISPS approval process.
Securewest can also provide a range of in-country security vulnerability assessments for shore based assets including offices, operational centres and crewing quarters.
