  • Understanding on where the emerging threats are and what options are available?

OUR APPROACH TO MARITIME RISK

Risks – high, medium or low – are part of the every day challenge and whilst they may rise and fall in prominence, threats will remain a feature of shipping and they require treatment. Therefore, your risk mitigation solution needs to be as dynamic as the threats you face. PRISM, Dryad’s suite of risk mitigation products and services allows you to escalate or de-escalate your support as risk levels change. FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT PRISM CAN DO FOR YOU

OUR LATEST ADDITION TO PRISM

Looking for the fastest route to risk-related information for your operating area? Featuring risk overviews for over 90 countries and curated by our team of maritime intelligence analysts, the Dryad Maritime Country Risk Map is designed to help commercial teams, CSOs, ship owners and managers optimise their security strategies and identify new trading opportunities.

Fast, reliable and effective response during times of crisis.

Whatever the nature of a maritime crisis, Dryad’s team of specialists have the skills, experience and training to assist you to deal with the incident. Whether communicating with a master whose ship is under attack or raising the alarm on receipt of an SSAS alarm, Dryad’s team know what to do and who to call to render assistance.
