Maritime security threats and piracy continue to increase, despite intervention by as number of nations. All types of shipping are affected, including high-value hydrocarbon carriers to private yachts.

WHA offers security training and services to protect commercial and private shipping from criminal and terrorist intervention.

The Ship Security Plan – the preparation, planning and tactical training of ship crews and passengers is the primary method of threat management. WHA can advise on both shipboard techniques and technological countermeasures including special precautions in port or at anchor.

To ensure the safe and secure passage of vessels, cargo, passengers and crew WHA offers comprehensive planning and the introduction of practical security measures on board ship. Also, we advise on other countermeasures such as information and communications security, which may prevent vessels from being targeted.

WHA can enhance your security through the:

• Development of ship security plans.
• Review of existing or 3rd party plans.
• Provision of crew training.
• Advising on physical countermeasures technology.
• On board, unarmed security & piracy countermeasures advisors.

In high-risk waters our Maritime Protection Partner can provide armed protective services for vessel, crew and passengers.
