Crisis never comes telling, and if you are a shipping company, you are probably aware of how volatile the industry can get if goods suffer damage while shipping. Seas are great and grave, so any good fallen can be considered lost for real. Other than that, terrorist attacks and smuggling are possible cases of loss too.
If you want to steer clear of crises, you had better conduct an assessment and formulate an incident and crisis report that sequentially records causes and consequences from historical data and future possibilities.
A private maritime security company will thoroughly inspect the vessel and port for safe surfing. The enforcement team will remove all and any obstacles after the inspection team make analytic and logical observations.

Pre-Incident Assessment Services
Incident and crisis prevention require various risk assessment services and prior analysis for the PMSC to identify and mitigate risk levels. Here’s how a top-tier PMSC manages precautionary incident assessments:
Stability Analysis
To create an incident and crisis report, the stability and resilience of a company have to be judged first. Its vulnerabilities, capabilities and connectivity are crucial to the risk management ecosystem. The company should be dealing with these cases in the proper manner and with ethics.
Security Risk Management Review
We can’t overlook the security risk management review. The team should find out the safety level and analyse the shortages while providing solutions and mitigating recommendations. The report must present a maturity matrix to track the improvements made.
Custom Threat Review
Identifying the threats is vital in crisis prevention. The region and nearby country borders where this situational analysis is taking place also need to be stated in the report. We have to make an analysis based on geopolitical, territorial and other sources. We then measure which scenario and threat is most likely or most dangerous through a survey system.
Risk Assessment
The risks to assets must be avoided at all costs. Thus, the assessment has to be meticulous. The report must address the measures to be taken to protect the vessel, port, goods and all else, if possible, in a cost-effective but always efficient manner.
Laws and Regulations
The report must address the international and commercial laws and updates regarding shipping while also mentioning if they are being heeded. The shipping practices must also abide by these laws.
Data Protection Review
All the shipyard’s data must be monitored, profiled and analysed. In case of data breaches, there has to be a backup plan as well. We monitor data constantly, while giving out simple alerts every now and then.
Incident & Crisis Management Techniques
Crisis Management Analysis
To get more actionable with your plans, you must create teams with trained members and training examinations. You also need enough resources and armed security service to hand your teams, and please ensure everything you use is within your protocols.
Crisis Management Planning
Crisis management plans with risk assessment services pinpointed, scenarios developed, analysed, strategised and solved as well as looking forward to a backup plan if things don’t go as planned, is vital.
Possibilities
In any case of extortion, active shooter, cyber attack or kidnapping, the PMSC has to be alert and take swift action. The incident and crisis report needs to detail how the company intends to prepare for any such cases.
