Private Maritime Security Companies are emerging on the daily. Do you need one? There are tons. Getting confused is only natural. How do you know which one to choose? Choosing one is dire, though. Private Maritime Security Companies can help your vessel safely reach its port and docks. So you must get them if you fear your security is facing the risk of being breached. 

We can alleviate risks with Private Maritime Security Companies. How do you know which one is suitable for your needs? They come at a hefty price, so let’s make the right choices with the help of this guide. 

When to Reach Out to Private Maritime Security Companies

There are guidelines for private maritime security companies that clients should follow when hiring these companies. OCIMF has declared that contracting security personnel is only necessary when you have encountered a threat and faced risks before. Your vessel and your path will have to undergo a severe screening process.

What to consider before choosing Private Maritime Security Companies

Private Maritime security companies in Nigeria can be as shady as their pirates. Companies and businesses need to be careful around sea waters and their defenders, as anti-piracy jobs could leave your pockets dry, and any casualties could leave your vessel dry too. 

So here are some assessments OCIMF has set that you should follow before selecting PMSC:

  • Positive and normal PMSC screening reports
  • Assess the threat and risk environment
  • Assess company risk
  • Check the necessary voyage plan
  • Check ship speed
  • Check freeboard
  • Learn about the type of operations they follow
  • Navy, coastguard, and maritime police defense system
  • You may need approval from Flag states (Some Flag States may barricade the use of PMSC)
  • You may need approval from Littoral States (Some Littoral States may barricade the use of PMSC)
  • High PMSC quality.

 

Know what Conditions your PMSC follows:

  1. How old is the PMSC in the private security sector?
  2. Look for testimonials referring to the PMSC you are looking at.
  3. The PMSC needs to understand and regard these international conventions:
    1. UNCLOS (United Convention on the Laws of the Sea)
    2. SUA (Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of the Maritime Navigation)
    3. SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of the Maritime Navigation)
    4. VPSHR (Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights)
    5. ICOC-PSSP (International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Provider)

What to look for in Private Maritime Security Companies 

When Reviewing the PMSC:

  • Details of certification
  • General Trade Control License
  • Weapon Export License
  • Weapon Serial Number
  • Certification and endorsement dates

When reviewing the PMSC, ensure the lead auditor is verified.

  • Indisciplined watchkeeping
  • Inadequate or inexperienced guards
  • Unprofessional or suspicious behavior
