THE SERVICE
PRINCIPLE
Our core business is VESSEL STAND-OFF PROTECTION.
We will provide a suitable vessel with appropriate defence systems to meet the threat according to intelligence in-theatre, and a trained crew (including British or other native english-speaking, former Naval or Marine servicemen).
We will provide additional security personnel onboard the client vessel, as required.
FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS
At MTR we appreciate the importance of maintaining a flexible approach to meet the expectations and requirements of our clients. Different approaches include:
A. Security Consultants onboard the client vessel to train the crew, monitor the environment and assist in managing the responses to any security threats.
B. Employment of a Security Escort Vessel (SEV) for single or double vessel convoys.
C. A combination of the above 2 options – this enables a convoy of vessels* to be protected thus spreading the cost of the service. In the event of pirates carrying out decoy attacks with more than 1 pirate 'skiff', the onboard security officers will delay any would-be attackers, until the security escort vessel arrives on scene.
