Despite many Oil & Gas companies favouring the various IMO Standard Codes
of Practice or the International Ship & Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code
formalities as being the “best practice” for security related issues, the
procedures implemented by such organisations barely cover key risk and threat
management measures facing the industry today.
Potentially the current risk mitigation measures put in place increase the risk
and danger that vessels and personnel operating within the hostile
environments and high risk areas face. Key factors such as kidnappings,
shootings, armed assaults, and exposure to an attack using an explosive device,
physical assault, abuse and extreme harm are not covered in-depth and as a
result this poses additional risks to our services users business model; resulting
in major losses in production and revenue and occasionally key personnel.
