Global terrorism and crime, by their very nature, know no boundaries and their targets are so variable that no maritime element is exempt from risk.

Because of the devastating effects of such criminality, PML offers a full security consultancy which is not only extremely proactive in combating the problem but is also very cost-effective. The company is not just offering a highly professional commercial service but is also providing a service that can save lives, preserve reputation and prevent financial ruin.

An Experienced Team

The PML security team includes several members who have attained the highest degree of expertise both nationally and internationally with careers in safety, security and defence.

The team is headed up by a former Chief Constable who was responsible for overseeing the aftermath of the Piper Alpha disaster and the Lockerbie terrorist bombing. Under his expert guidance there is virtually no element of security that cannot be addressed.

The PML team provides ship and port security assessments and plans, along with crew and general staff training, to ensure compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code.

Scope of Services

As well as security risk assessment in general, PML's team of experts also provides specialised training and advice on individual problems such as security awareness, specialist security, firearms, explosives and incendiary device awareness and substance abuse awareness.

Exercises and drills, including preparation for emergency situations, are also organised and managed by our highly qualified experts.

Following 9/11, the United Nations, recognising weaknesses in security, identified transport infrastructure as a principal target of terrorist groups. Within the UN, the International Maritime Organization established measures to mitigate the risks and PML not only provides compliance checks but ensures the security methods implemented meet the very high standard required by the IMO. This is achieved by a policy of adopting a proactive, preventive security approach.

Training courses, approved by the world's major maritime organisations, contingency planning, security auditing and incident investigation are all within the brief of PML's team.

Confidential and discreet assistance can be provided alongside the well-publicised consultancy and training activities.

Peace of Mind

There is no ceiling to the value of security or indeed its importance. Investment in security is vital and singularly inexpensive by comparison to the devastation that can be created by those intent on exploiting security weaknesses.

Engaging PML means benefiting from a team of experts who will utilise all their experience and knowledge to enhance the safety and security of each individual client's operations and staff.

Maritime security is the specialist field of operation for PML's security team; equally, the company has the scope and competence to provide security and safety guidance for organisations in any business sector.
