Important News!

As one of the oldest and most experienced companies in the business, Marsec Corporation continues to provide maritime security and safety consulting services including performing annual security audits, facilitating annual security exercises, and drafting security plans, for both vessels and facilities. We also provide maritime security training at all levels, including our USCG/USMARAD Approved CSO/VSO/FSO Course, which mutiple USCG Sector commands have contracted for and used in teaching the regulations to their own staff members.
 
Both our Gulf and Midwest offices are in full-time operation, handling work that comes in from the East or West coasts as well as Hawaii and Alaska, between them.
 
Marsec also provides a variety of other services to interested clients. During the summer of 2010, our primarily retired CG staff provided the expertise to enable us to supply services in support of clean-up efforts during the Gulf Coast oil spill in organizing beach clean-ups and managing "fleets of convenience" tasked with dragging booms to corral the oil.
 
More recently, we have become involved in assisting the owners of vessels regulated under 46 CFR Subchapter "T" (Small Passenger Vessels) in their efforts to comply with recent rules changes requiring them to recalculate passenger carriage limits based on the Average Assumed Weight Per Person (AAWPP), see 46 CFR 170.090 & 178.215.
 
Marsec has carried on and expanded our efforts in arranging cooperative maritime security exercises within Ports. For those clients interested in obtaining our services for multi-company, multi-agency, cooperative maritime security exercises, considerable discounts per company or agency, may be arranged, as compared to our services for single-entity exercises.
 
Discounts may similarly be negotiated when combining any multi-client, or multi-service contract.
 
Gulf, East coast, and International customers are encouraged to contact our Gulf office at (630) 399-3962 and ask for Bob Gobert, or at (312) 343-5564 and ask for Rob Seale.
 
West coast customers may contact Clevester Granville at (703) 498-1086.
 
Midwest and all others may reach me at the below numbers.
 
Thanking you for your past business, wishing you a most prosperous year, and looking forward to serving you in 2011!
 
Dave
