Much like the Close Protection industry, Maritime Security has seen similar growth, as more and more cargo is transported around the world.  Often the quickest way for these valuable cargoes to reach their customers is to pass through contested international waters, either in close proximity to troubled areas or war zones. Wherever there is a breakdown in government there tends to be an increase in organised crime, and piracy today, is indeed a very organised crime.

With legislation constantly changing, the role of the Maritime Security Officer (MSO)  is one that is ever changing with qualifications needing to be kept up to date and is therefore best suited to individuals with a background in law enforcement or military. We work with a number of training partners based all over Europe who are able to qualify you and your teams in a number of areas including:

  • Maritime Security Officer (MSO)
  • Maritime Firearms Competency Course/s (MFCC)
  • Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)
