Security guard standard
(Europe) International maritime security specialist Sea Marshalls Limited, which provides armed and unarmed security teams for vessels transiting pirate infested waters, is the first company to gain insurance which complies with BIMCO’s new Guardcon standards.
BIMCO’s Guardcon provides an industry standard contract for the employment of security guards on ships. In particular it addresses concerns over the relationship between the Master and the head of the security team on board a vessel.
Having demonstrated its compliance with the new Guardcon standards, Sea Marshals has become the first security company to obtain an insurance policy which complies with the new requirements. The company signed documents for the policy to ensure it was already in compliance with Guardcon before its industry launch.
