MSS provides fully trained Ship Security Detachments ('Shipriders') for vessels transiting areas of high risk.

Based on client requirements and after thorough risk assessments we can provide well-trained, unarmed security detachments, together with appropriate physical ship defences, acoustic and thermal-imaging equipment.

MSS personnel are chosen from fit and experienced men who have served with Special Forces and elite units within the British Armed Forces. They have undergone a strict vetting process and all have successfully completed an MSS Ship Security Officer course and MSS Anti-Piracy training.

MSS Operations Managers are former senior military with many years experience as maritime security consultants. They have worked at government level and in many areas of high-risk.

All MSS personnel are fully cognisant of NATO,UNCLOS and MSC(HOA) guidelines and procedures, master's discretion and the legal requirements of Port State control. Their prime concern is the safe conduct of the ship and its crew.
