About Us

MarineGuard is a mature and financially stable company founded in 1998. Head quartered in Southampton UK, our loyal team maintain a wealth of experience and ensure we are a trusted partner in the security domain. In 2021 we opened our innovation centre where our R&D teams continually meet the ever-changing demands in maritime security.

The very nature of onboard security systems brings about a complexity that few companies would undertake.

MarineGuard have earned the trust of the market over 2 decades by consistently integrating layers of security and delivering projects on time and on budget. Our highly skilled team of designers, project managers and engineers are the credible ‘safe hands’ when it comes to marine security.

Since the early days, MarineGuard has grown organically to establish itself as a market leader developing solutions for offshore asset protection, commercial shipping and superyachts.

Our security systems provide a virtual bubble around a vessel or installation that recognizes and communicates changes in the surrounding security environment. We supply turnkey solutions that provide concentric layers of protection, covering long range outer and inner perimeters through to internal vessel security.
