How does MAST provide armed security services?
The provision of armed security for our clients will only take place once a risk assessment has been carried out and the legal and insurance restrictions fully examined.
Once this is complete we will identify:
- Voyage details.
- Ship's vulnerability
- Port of embarkation
- Port of disembarkation
MAST has a license to operate with firearms in Djibouti and Oman.
Each country has imposed a supervisory regime that ensures that all firearms are properly secured and accounted for and only released when embarked upon a ship.
For transits in the Gulf of Aden, MAST is able to provide armed security within 2 days of a request.
'In 2008 MAST was the first security provider to successfully provide armed security between the Port of Djibouti and Salalah following several months of protracted negotiation with the authorities'
