Increasing the security of marine transportation and offshore workers has been a national and international priority over the past years. Efforts to enhance and maintain offshore security must be balanced with the need to ensure the free flow of Vessels and people, which in turn maintains the competitiveness of offshore marine services and economic vitality.
we have participated proactively in security improvements in terms of planning, training and investment in infrastructure. Our fleet is compliant with all security requirements.
In partnership with Bgam Services Nigeria Limited, we provides full security coverage services for the oil/gas industries among them is Addax Petroleum which we have been covering all their Platforms and Rigs since 2014 till date. We supply full armed Nigeria Naval Personnel with their best arms and animation to counter any challenges at any time.
This major initiative to improve security of lives, both in waterways and in territorial waters
includes a variety of security improvements and initiatives.
We undertook an active role in the process of developing the regulations that now apply to the
marine industry. Our participation in this initiative includes investments in new security
equipment, development and implementation of a security plan, and appointment of a security officer,
for each vessel, and development of a security identification program to ensure all seafarers and
off shore workers have proper, up-to-date documents and security gadgets.
OANDA has also borne significant capital and training costs to build, together with regulators, a
more secure marine environment.
