About Us
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.
