Security Service

Vessel and gangway security under ISPS Code — armed guards, patrol boats and 24/7 command centre.

Overview

Professional Vessel & Port Security Services

Bangladesh Marine Service Private Limited provides ISPS-compliant vessel security, gangway watch, anchorage patrol and port-facility security services at Chittagong, Mongla and Payra. Our licensed security personnel, patrol launches and 24/7 command centre protect the vessel, crew, cargo and reputation of shipowners against theft, unauthorised access, stowaways and other maritime security threats.

Every deployment is coordinated with the ship security officer (SSO), port facility security officer (PFSO), coast guard and local authorities, and reported daily to the vessel owner, manager and appointed P&I club.

ISPS Code Compliance

All operations are executed under ISPS Code procedures with close liaison between our team leader, the ship's SSO and the PFSO. Deployment plans, access logs, incident reports and daily briefings are prepared to auditable standards accepted by owners, P&I clubs and flag administrations.

Gangway Watch & Access Control

Uniformed, vetted and trained guards control the gangway 24/7, screening every visitor, contractor, agent, surveyor and stevedore. Photo ID, visitor logs, baggage inspection and metal-detector screening are standard procedures.

Anti-Piracy & Anchorage Patrol

During long anchorage stays and high-risk periods, our patrol launches provide continuous perimeter watch around the vessel, deterring unauthorised approach and providing early warning of any suspicious activity to master and coast guard.

Crew Protection & Escort

Shore leave, crew change transfers to airport, medical appointments and VIP visits are protected by escorted transport with radio communication back to the command centre — giving seafarers, owners and managers total peace of mind.

Command, Control & Reporting

Our central control room maintains real-time radio contact with every deployed asset, records incidents in a formal log book, and issues daily security reports to the owner and manager for the duration of the port call.
