- Vessel Safety Monitoring Service
-
Ideal for large fleets or individual vessels, our Full Vessel Safety Monitoring uses live observations from vessels at sea, overlaid with our existing operating picture to create a Wide Area Picture of the threats across entire oceans.
These regular observations which include vessel traffic, VHF traffic and localized weather data, help to create a running threat assessment, 24-hours a day.
When using our Vessel Safety Monitoring service, the position of your vessel is assessed and evaluated at 6 hour intervals to determine its position relative to any developing threats. Where your vessel’s position or a change in threat activity causes an increase in risk, the reporting interval will be increased and our analysts will maintain contact with the vessel as the situation develops, diverting you around the threat where necessary.
Any vessel which fails to meet their intended waypoints or submit their positional information at the required interval will trigger an alarm and pre-agreed procedures will be instigated. If the vessel’s location and security status cannot be clarified, emergency procedures will implemented immediately.
- Vessel Security Survey Reports
-
These provide a comprehensive review of your vessel’s structural, personnel and operational strengths and weaknesses – assessed relative to the known and projected threats your vessel will face during passage or alongside. This enables you to amend your security policy and prioritise and implement any additional security measures prior to departure.

- Structural weaknesses
