About Maritime Safety & Security

In the end of 2006 the need of maritime security industry

development seemed to be high. Both, strategic locations

of oil - bearing areas and the shortest route to eastern

export powers required proper preparation of the shipping

companies and their vessels to continue transport safely

for crew, cargo and charterers making it free from the

risk of hijack or acts of terrorism. Responding this threat

LCDR (R) Sebastian Kalitowski, the founder of Maritime

Safety & Security established the very first first in Easter

Europe, private security company, totally focused on

maritime security industry. All the intellectual heritage

of the company had been developed in cooperation

with maritime professionals who have experience in the

vessel management during the pirate attacks or who

had implemented corresponding tasks as naval special

forces officers. Strong efforts were recognized by local

and national authorities. The company was granted

rights to carry out maritime security courses for critical

infrastructure as port facilities or tactical trainings for

SWAT Units. Besides, Maritime Safety & Security experts

assistance was visible in advising the most important

government officers as e.g. Marshall (i.e. Governor) of the

Province. Quality of provided services is the subject of

institutional audition by Germanischer Lloyd from whom

worldwide recognized ISO 9001:2008 certificate for

anti - terrorism and anti - piracy trainings and maritime

security and vessel protection operations was granted,

confirming Maritime Safety & Security trustworthy partner

for business. As a private company, it is an active member

of worldwide associations integrating security companies

and professionals, incl. International Association of

Counterterrorism and Security Professionals. It is also a

member of International Code of Conduct for Private

Security Providers and Security Association for the

Although the trends diagram indicates that successful

pirate attacks have decreased since 2009, as a matter

might have been cruelly exploited by pirates. Maritime

Safety & Security support allows each client focus on

working aboard our partners’ vessels.

forces officers and ships masters who were

afflicted with pirate attacks. Maritime Safety &

Furthermore, participation in tactical trainings

for efficient work aboard the vessels, teaching

Actually Maritime Safety & Security has been the

very first company in the world that designed

unique Anti-Piracy Awareness Seminars for

seafarers where students can learn how to

prepare the vessel to passage through High

Risk Area, work closely with Vessel Protection

Detachment and familiarize with situation

of pirate attack. in a practical way Training

programme was written and tested basically

after consultations with masters of ex-hijacked

vessels and psychologist specialized in post-

traumatic stress disorder.

Furthermore, experience shows that after

vessel hijack the crew might be held onshore.

Such experience was observed in case of

seafarers from the MV LEOPARD, MV ASPHALT

VENTURE, MV GEMINI, FV PRANTALAY 12, FV ARIDE.

Proper, training and preparation of the

seafarers to such wild and hostile area can

save their life. It was us who as the first in the

world decided to include to our anti – piracy

courses, the basic knowledge of military course

SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape).

That training, on the desert island with flora

similar to existing in HRA allows our students

to learn how to survive in stabile physical and

mental condition while in hostile environment,

and how to behave during interrogation and

afterwards escape successfully if there is an

opportunity for that.
