Maritime Security Policy
Uncompromising Protection in High-Risk Waters
In an era of evolving geopolitical volatility and asymmetric maritime threats, the security of your crew, vessel, and cargo requires far more than basic deterrence. It demands precision execution, rigorous legal compliance, and elite tactical readiness.
Marine One (Pvt) Ltd delivers world-class, fully compliant Armed Onboard Security Teams (OBST) for vessels transiting recognized High-Risk Areas (HRA), including the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the East Coast of Africa, and the wider Indian Ocean. Our service model is built on absolute operational responsibility—from intelligence-led route planning and personnel selection to lawful weapons provisioning, command integration, and secure demobilization.
🛡️ Elite Personnel & Lawful Arsenal Management
We recognize that putting armed personnel on your vessel is a high-liability decision. Marine One mitigates this risk by operating at a standard that matches or exceeds the world's largest maritime security providers.
- Vetted Personnel: Our security teams are comprised exclusively of rigorously vetted former military and naval personnel. Every operator holds mandatory STCW certifications, advanced trauma medical training, and clean criminal background checks, passing strict psychological and tactical evaluations.
- 100% Legal Weapons Provisioning: We utilize highly regulated, Ministry of Defense-approved weaponry and tactical gear. All firearms are strictly serialized, legally licensed, and transferred through sovereign state armories or approved international floating armories to ensure zero legal friction for the ship’s Master and Owners.
- BIMCO GUARDCON Compliant: All security deployments and Rules for the Use of Force (RUF) are executed in strict alignment with standard BIMCO GUARDCON contracts, ensuring your P&I club and hull insurers remain fully satisfied.
⚖️ The Compliance Framework
Marine One operates within a highly scrutinized, globally recognized legal framework. We bridge the complex gap between international maritime law, Flag State requirements, and Port State regulations. Our deployments are governed by:
ISO 28000 & ISO 28007
Certified adherence to Supply Chain Security and the specific international standard for Private Maritime Security Companies (PMSC) providing privately contracted armed security personnel.
ICoCA Standards
Adherence to the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers, guaranteeing ethical conduct, human rights compliance, and professional accountability.
UNCLOS & SUA
Respecting the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and protocols against unlawful acts threatening maritime navigation.
⚓ Our Core Security Pillars
Every Marine One security transit is founded upon five non-negotiable principles:
- Safe & Secure Passage: Neutralizing threats to ensure safe transit through global high-risk corridors.
- Jurisdictional Integrity: 100% legal compliance in all territorial waters, straits, and exclusive economic zones (EEZ).
- Ethical Conduct: Unwavering professional standards and respect for the ship's command hierarchy at all times.
- Total Transparency: Clear, continuous communication channels between our operations center, the ship's Master, vessel owners, and maritime authorities.
- Zero-Incident Culture: A fundamental operating philosophy supported by continuous monitoring, debriefing, and tactical refinement.
🔄 Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Marine One Executive Management is fully committed to elevating our security posture year over year. We guarantee the provision of necessary resources to maintain this policy across all levels of the organization by:
- Engaging actively with global regulators, naval authorities (such as UKMTO and MSCHOA), and international bodies.
- Conducting rigorous internal and external audits of our Security Management System (SMS) at planned intervals.
- Maintaining our arsenal, personnel training, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) well above the industry minimums.
- Ensuring company-wide awareness of security responsibilities through continuous staff training and situational drills.
