„With the 4 guards on board, it gave the crew a much safer feeling during the passage of GOA. It was quite a positive experience for the entire crew and we hope that when passing GOA again in the future, the same guys will return.“
Captain Christof „At the beginning of the voyage, the team checked and improved the existing security solutions. During their stay on board, all required procedures were undertaken to protect the vessel and the crew. The communication between the security team and the crew was excellent, and a pirate attack was successfully repelled. The ESC Global Security has a professional team and I recommend using their services.“
