Maritime Security

 Vessels - whether at sea, alongside, or at anchor - are vulnerable. The inherent isolation, lack of mobility and relative ease of access expose any vessel to potential threats. There may be threat to the ship, its crew, passengers or high value cargo. Maintaining security and safety within the maritime environment requires specialist skills and knowledge.
