Maritime Security
Maritime security is required to ensure your safety whilst travelling the seas. 24/7 Close Protection Ltd will protect you, your vessel and crew whilst travelling to your destination port. We believe that Maritime security should encompass a wide range of protection, including maritime safety, search and rescue, operational safety for offshore oil and gas production, fisheries protection, marine ports, harbours and you, your crew and your vessel. A maritime security regime is a good place to start. Maritime Security Regimes are codes and conventions of behaviour agreed upon by coastal states to provide a degree of security in territorial waters and on the high seas. 24/7 Close Protection Ltd adopts comprehensive maritime security measures.
Security risk is seen a function of the threat of an attack coupled with the vulnerability of the target and the consequences of an attack. Security of the maritime domain can be accomplished only by seamlessly employing all instruments of national power in a fully coordinated manner in concert with other nation-states consistent with international law. At 24/7 we adopt 3 security levels 1, 2, and 3 which correspond to normal, medium, and high threat situations, respectively. Security level 1 means the level for which minimum appropriate protective security measures shall be maintained at all times. Security level 3 means the qualification of the degree of risk that a security incident will be attempted or will occur. Security risk is seen a function of the threat of an attack coupled with the vulnerability of the target and the consequences of an attack.
Private owners and operators of infrastructure, facilities, and resources are the first line of defence for their own property, and they should undertake basic facility security improvements. We provide 24/7 protection cover or we can give you guidance, advice and supply you with security measures to protect you, your crew and vessel. The infrastructure and systems that span the maritime domain, owned largely by the private sector, have increasingly become both targets of and potential conveyances for dangerous and illicit activities. Maritime security is best achieved by blending public and private maritime security activities on a global scale into a comprehensive, integrated effort that addresses all maritime threats. Any Marine protection officers we supply are highly trained, equipped, and prepared to detect, deter, interdict, and defeat terrorists throughout the maritime domain.
Policy makers from both the EU and NATO stress, however, that more effective maritime security depends less on new equipment and capability and more on achieving tighter co-operation and interoperability between maritime players within each nation and in co-ordination with EU and NATO agencies.
The smuggling of people, drugs, weapons, and other contraband, as well as piracy and armed robbery against vessels, pose a threat to maritime security. The capabilities to board and commandeer large underway vessels demonstrated in numerous piracy incidents could also be employed to facilitate terrorist acts. Vessels, people, infrastructure, the environment, as well as trade can be seriously threatened by acts of terrorism or piracy.
We are aware that awareness grants time and distance to detect, deter, interdict, and defeat adversaries, whether they are planning an operation, or are en route to attack or commit an unlawful act. Awareness and threat knowledge are critical for securing the maritime domain and the key to preventing adverse events. Without effective awareness of activities within the maritime domain, crucial opportunities for prevention or an early response can be lost. Being highly counter surveillance trained and aware gives us at 24/7 Close Protection Ltd a great advantage against any terrorist threat
Reducing the potential for regional conflict, maritime security is enhanced worldwide. Such knowledge is essential to supporting decision-making for planning, identifying requirements, prioritizing resource allocation, and implementing maritime security operations. Specifically, a layered approach to maritime security means applying some measure of security to each of the following points of vulnerability: transportation, staff, passengers, conveyances, access control, cargo and baggage, ports, and security en route.
For maritime security operations on the high seas or in its exclusive economic zones, territorial seas, internal seas, inland rivers, ports, and waterways, 24/7 Close protection Ltd have highly trained and experience maritime security protective operatives and properly equipped. For protection and deterrence to be successful, our maritime security agents will be visible, vigilant, well-trained, well-equipped, mobile, adaptive, and capable of generating effective presence quickly, randomly, and unpredictably. We provide maritime security agents 24/7, we can, develop common technology requirements and coordinate budget planning for maritime security missions. Such knowledge is essential to supporting decision making for planning, identifying requirements, prioritizing resource allocation, and implementing maritime security operations.
