As a seafarer it can be exciting to visit many different countries and ports but it is important to be aware of your own security and the security of the ship and always stay alert

There are situations when people see the seafarers and the ship as a way to make a personal gain. Luckily these situations are quite rare and we do not want to prevent seafarers taking a much needed break but we urge everyone to be aware of their own security and the security of the ship. BSafe aims to support seafarers and make them feel secure wherever their ship is trading. We are focussing on what we believe are the core areas of concern and risk for modern day seafarers and we will provide relevant advice that is useful for all seafarers to improve their security.

If you have any questions or would like further advice on physical security or you would like us to go into more details on any other security topics please feel free to contact us on: lossprevention@tindallriley.com
