Maritime Security Overview

Our priority is the safety and protection of client’s assets. We pride ourselves as the reliable partner of choice to ensure the safety and security of our client’s assets whilst carrying out business activities in the Gulf of Guinea. LOYZ is made of security professionals with efficient knowledge of all offshore and onshore marine security operations and maintain adequate security operating levels based on the threat analysis at any given time.

We have excellent working relationship and partnership with the Nigerian Navy to provide offshore coastal security services for ships against pirate threats and provision of armed security personnel on-board vessels for security surveillance and bridge protection. We currently operate and manage a fleet of 8 purposed built security vessels which are manned with Naval personnel with adequate security equipment in line with state requirements.

All SEVS under our operation are fitted with modern day navigation and communications equipment to allow them safely to undertake offshore security operations. We also embed a Field Security Liaison Officer (FSLO) onboard all our SEVs to manage all security related concerns and serve as a bridge between our OCC and the Naval team on board. The FSLO provides security threat analysis reports and advisory to the OIC on board and advises on the implementation of the Rule of Force and Rules of Engagement as required.


Our operations team is available 24/7/365 to provide support as required and have adequate plans in place to mitigate any related issues.

Armed Guards Services

Leveraging on our partnership with the Nigerian Navy, Loyz Marine is capable of swiftly providing armed guards on board to support client vessels, ensuring enhanced safety and security throughout operations especially where there are restrictions in the operations of SEVs.


Prior to the deployment of guards on board, we ensure all safety guidelines are completed and the crew receive a comprehensive pre-deployment brief from Loyz, via their base command. We are always on site during this process to ensure it is delivered up to standard and to manage and resolve all concerns as they arise.

With our operations team available 24/7/365, we offer continuous support and have robust plans in place to mitigate any related issues effectively.

Port Facility Security Assessment

As a recognized security organization, we carry out Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA) to safeguard critical assets and infrastructure. We conduct comprehensive assessments that cover crucial aspects:

  • Identification and evaluation of important assets and infrastructure ensuring a thorough understanding of their importance in the port facility’s operations and security framework.
  • Identify potential threats to the identified assets and infrastructure. We assess the likelihood of these threats occurring, enabling us to establish a robust security strategy that prioritizes mitigating these risks effectively.
  • Based on our threat assessment, we identify, select, and prioritize countermeasures and procedural changes. These measures are meticulously chosen to enhance security levels, reduce vulnerabilities, and address potential weaknesses that could be exploited.
  • We thoroughly examine all aspects of the infrastructure, including operational procedures and security protocols. Our assessment includes an evaluation of human factors, policies, and procedures to pinpoint weaknesses that could be exploited by unauthorized entities.

Through our comprehensive evaluation, we aim to enhance the safety and security of the port facility, its personnel, vessels, cargo, and the surrounding environment. Our assessments are conducted with precision and expertise, ensuring that our clients receive actionable insights and robust security recommendations.
