Core Line of Maritime Security Services

 

Armed Escort

GLOBAL ONE is fully insured and licensed to provide armed escort services.

As at to date, no vessel that was protected with armed maritime security operators has been hijacked; this fact offers the best proof that armed escort of vessels is the most effective way to protect crew, ship and cargo against malicious attacks during their transit in high risk areas.

Our well trained security personnel embarking the vessel, remaining onboard during the whole passage through the high risk area and practicing non-lethal, or as a last resort, lethal techniques, to deter any piracy attempt.

We are also able to provide, upon Customer’s request, all licenses and certifications proving the legal carriage and usage of firearms according to flag, port and coastal state regulations and laws, within the pre-approved territory.

The ship’s master remains the ultimate authority on board during the whole transit.

Security Equipment

We use only the pre-approved and appropriate weapons and/or equipment, in order to guarantee the following:

• Efficiency
• Liability

Our teams when deployed will typically carry:

• Semi-automatic rifles of 7.62 / 5.56 mm

Any such measures will be implemented only for the purposes of preventing a piracy attempt and for no other reason.

Unarmed Escort

Although the escort of vessels with armed security operators is proven to be the most effective approach against the threat of piracy and maritime terrorism in high risk areas, GLOBAL ONE is able to offer to its clients, highly experienced and advanced trained teams of unarmed security personnel, as an alternative to maritime security solution.

After their embarkation they provide practical assistance, as well as consultation on how to deal with a piracy attempt with all existing means.

They assist in applying all appropriate and necessary measures to increase the vessels self-protection, such as vessel hardening, captain and crew training, evasive procedures, crew drills and exercises, management of appropriate communications systems.

As the human eye still remains the best form of initial defense, our unarmed security personnel can guarantee a 24/7 monitoring of the vessel by using state of the art equipment.

The unmatched experience of our security teams, coupled with their profound knowledge of all types of vessels and their expertise in dealing with all difficult circumstances that vessels may encounter, enables them to deal in the best possible way with any situation related to the security of the maritime transport.
