Maritime Security Consultancy
As part of Nigeria's
government’s policy aimed at bolstering the security of the nation’s
maritime industry, the government has directed that all the facilities
that fall into the International Maritime Organization (IMO) criteria
for compliance with the ISPS code be duly certified as such. To this
end, AvantGuard has in the past conducted a number of security surveys
aimed at preparing security assessment reports and drafting of security
plans for a good number of port facilities and ships operating in the
Nigerian maritime industry. Some of these facilities include:
·
Honeywell Oil Jetty Terminal
Calabar
·
Intels Federal Operations
Terminal (FOT) Onne
·
Intels Federal Lighter
Terminal (FLT) Onne
·
NNPC Atlas Cove
·
Port Harcourt Port Complex
·
MRS Oil and Gas Terminal

·
Julius Berger Plot 1 Oil

·
Five Star Logistics Port

Maritime Security Training
In conjunction with our foreign
partners, AvantGuard is in the process of developing a unique maritime
security-training program, which incorporates aspects and areas of
security peculiar to the Nigerian maritime environment. The curriculum
will include real-time and simulated exercises (with joint security
forces/agencies) as well as introduction to hostage negotiations and
rescue. An existing PFSO training curriculum is also been reviewed to
suit our local needs at the same time keep up with the ever changing
trends in the maritime security sub-sector.
Maritime Security Systems
Research
AvantGuard is at the moment
researching into ways of developing and improving information
management systems in the maritime environment. We are also looking
into ways of providing secured simple software/database solutions to
certain common maritime problems such as better integrating the
operations, security and administrative elements in the day-to-day
running of port facilities. It is our vision that in the future such
solutions could minimize man-hours expended in ship and port activities
to some degree as well as improve security. These systems will be
generic and also user-specific where required.
