Commercial Shipping Security
— safeguarding fleets, crews, and cargo

The commercial shipping sector covers both global trade and passenger transport, including tankers, dry bulk, container vessels, ship managers, and cruise operators.

Ship owners and managers operate in a world defined by geopolitical uncertainty, evolving threats, and stringent compliance demands. From piracy and armed robbery to cyber-attacks, drug smuggling, and state-sponsored harassment, risks to vessels, cargo, and crews are more varied and unpredictable than ever.

Risk Intelligence equips the maritime industry to navigate these challenges with confidence, ensuring safe, compliant, and commercially viable operations worldwide.

Who we support

Our expertise is proven across diverse areas of the maritime sector:

  • Container lines tackling drug smuggling risks on South America–Europe trade routes

  • Dry bulk operators navigating port security in politically unstable regions

  • Tanker operators handling last-minute charters into unfamiliar waters

  • Ship management companies strengthening operational decisions with verified intelligence

  • Cruise operators ensuring safe and compliant passenger operations

The challenge

Even with strong procedures in place, maritime operators often struggle to maintain visibility across fast-changing routes, ports, and jurisdictions. Information gaps, last-minute schedule changes, and inconsistent data make it difficult to manage security risks and prove compliance.
