MARITIME SAFETY & SECURITY Caret periculo, qui etiam cum est tutus, cavet PUBLILIUS
About Maritime Safety & Security In the end of 2006 the need of maritime security industry development seemed to be high. Both, strategic locations of oil - bearing areas and the shortest route to eastern export powers required proper preparation of the shipping companies and their vessels to continue transport safely for crew, cargo and charterers making it free from the risk of hijack or acts of terrorism. Responding this threat LCDR (R) Sebastian Kalitowski, the founder of Maritime Safety & Security established the very first first in Easter Europe, private security company, totally focused on maritime security industry. All the intellectual heritage of the company had been developed in cooperation with maritime professionals who have experience in the vessel management during the pirate attacks or who had implemented corresponding tasks as naval special forces officers. Strong efforts were recognized by local and national authorities. The company was granted rights to carry out maritime security courses for critical infrastructure as port facilities or tactical trainings for SWAT Units. Besides, Maritime Safety & Security experts assistance was visible in advising the most important government officers as e.g. Marshall (i.e. Governor) of the Province. Quality of provided services is the subject of institutional audition by Germanischer Lloyd from whom worldwide recognized ISO 9001:2008 certificate for anti - terrorism and anti - piracy trainings and maritime security and vessel protection operations was granted, confirming Maritime Safety & Security trustworthy partner for business. As a private company, it is an active member of worldwide associations integrating security companies and professionals, incl. International Association of Counterterrorism and Security Professionals. It is also a member of International Code of Conduct for Private Security Providers and Security Association for the Maritime Industry.
