DeerPark leadership team members have conducted Maritime Security Operations during the peak and unregulated years 2008 to 2012. This was done in support and collaboration with other MARSEC companies. After re-visiting some of the private security work we have conducted over the years an idea was born to consolidate the experience and serve the shipping industry when it comes to Maritime Security related work within the East African Coast line and beyond.

Deerpark Maritime Security promotes and enhances use of the Best Management Practices to Deter Piracy and Enhance Maritime Security in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea under the BMP5 Guidelines.

The BMP5 were produced and supported by many major shipping associations focusing on the following fundamental requirements:

1.     Understand the threat: Maritime threats are dynamic and obtaining current threat information is critical for risk assessment and decision making.

2.     Conduct risk assessments:  Companies must conduct risk assessments and identify ship protection measures.

3.     Implement ship protection measures such as harden the ship, train the crew, enhance lookout and follow Flag State and military guidance.

4.     Report: It is of outmost importance to report any incident and suspicious activity to UKMTO and register with MSCHOA. Also, when vessels are attack, they must send distress signals

5.     Cooperate:  operators and security forces need to collaborate in order to prevent piracy incidents, therefore there is need for cooperation with other shipping and military forces, with law enforcement to preserve evidence and welfare providers.
