Anti-Piracy Security Services

Whether it is a yacht kept in the the sunny Caribbean or a freighter transiting the pirate infested waters off the coast of Somalia, security is an issue. ESC Global Security provides a fully customised and ISO 28000/28007 certified maritime security service in correlation with the actual threat risk. The package of services includes a balanced mix of on-site training, operational security techniques and tactics, non-lethal counter-measures and armed response. 

We have experience with a wide variety of crafts from dredgers to Panamax tankers. Our service is tailor-made for each voyage and for each vessel. It begins before the voyage, providing pro-active, practical measures for securing the vessel physically and concludes with an after-action report, containing voyage analysis and recommendations for future transits. We are main security provider for major dredging, tanker, heavy lift, bulk carrier and submersible vessel companies. Average number of vessels protected per month is 35. Our clients are the biggest EU vessel companies, whose fleet size in total surpasses 1000 vessels.

ESCGS is allowed to provide ISO 28000/28007 certified services on more than 30 different flagstate vessels, which is almost 85% of the world’s merchant fleet. Please see the list of serviceable flagstates.
