Special escort vessels in west Africa
Focus on Nigeria
Within West Africa, particularly in Nigeria, we excel in providing Special Escort Vessels (SEVs). Although offering SEVs in this region has historically been challenging due to high costs and performance issues, we’ve overcome these hurdles. Our SEVs comply with state requirements and are accompanied by Local Naval Armed Guards.
We’ve cultivated strong local relationships and reliable suppliers to ensure top-notch performance and quality.
Each SEV is fully equipped with navigation and communication tools necessary for various offshore security tasks, including escorting, field protection, and rapid response/intervention. Our approved partners in Nigeria have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Nigerian Navy and obtained all necessary approvals from the Nigerian Maritime Safety Agency (NIMASA).
We can provide escort vessel services up to 200 nautical miles from Nigeria, utilizing Nigerian Naval personnel.
Special Escort Vessels Reach
Our security services extend to Ghana, Benin, Togo, Nigeria, and Cameroon, with a keen focus on the two principal areas, Togo and Nigeria.
Given the increasing boldness of pirates in these waters, our main objective is to safeguard vessels, personnel, and assets by proactively preventing threat intervention during voyages.
