VESSEL HARDENING VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

Castor Vali conducts vessel and rig hardening vulnerability assessments to identify security weaknesses and ensure assets are prepared to operate in the voluntary reporting area, or high-risk waters. In this truly dynamic maritime risk world, vessel and rig hardening, in line and accordance with Best Management Practices (BMP) for Maritime Security, provides a primary line of defence in the event of an attack. Our assessments consider whether an asset is prepared to implement lockdown procedures and provide an effective response while awaiting external support.

Why Castor Vali for Vessel Hardening Vulnerability Assessments?

Operational preparedness: Identifying vulnerabilities before vessels mobilise into high-risk operating environments.
Effective hardening measures: Assessing the measures required to deter, detect, delay and deny potential threats.
Practical security: Considering vessel arrangement, working requirements, health and safety and the operating environment to maintain security without unnecessarily restricting operations.
Global security: Strengthening vessel security across global operations, not only in high-risk piracy waters.
Security alignment: Ensuring recommendations align with the Ship Security Plan and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.
