Maritime Security
Salt water covers more than two-thirds of the Earth’s surface. These waters are a single, great ocean, an immense maritime domain that affects life everywhere. Although its four principal geographical divisions – Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, and Pacific – have different names, this continuous body of water is the Earth’s greatest defining geographic feature.
The oceans have increased economic importance, allowing all countries to participate in the global marketplace. More than 80% of the world’s trade travels by water and forges a global maritime link. Approximately half of all global trade are transported in containers. Shipping is the heart of the global economy
Our services are in place to prevent and suppress acts of terrorism and sabotage against our shipping clientele. We work simultaneously with local port and harbour authorities as well as commercial freight companies to minimise risk and exposure to their daily endeavours.
The background of many of the ASSURED RISKS board members have military careers incorporating the managing and planning of UK counter terrorist operations within the North sea oil fields and the UK’s surrounding coastal areas. Our security services comply with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the International Ship and Ports Facility Security Code (ISPS).
