Over-Watch Flights

Our aircraft use the latest radar and video technology to help identify and plot the course of suspicious vessels in the immediate area of your predetermined shipping route. Our equipment can see over greater distances than conventional ships radar; this alone is an asset to a ship’s captain, however, when you combine this with the specialist collation knowledge of our ground crew at the base station and the view of your vessel’s path suddenly becomes a lot clearer.

The aircraft are in constant communication with the base station and all information gathered is immediately downloaded to plot a path of any suspicious vessels. This information is available for your captains to view prior to any journey; updates can also be transmitted, via e-mail, at the request of your captain at any time.

Over-Watch aircraft will fly a search pattern over your vessel’s predetermined route and will continually repeat this pattern until you have safely passed through the danger area. Your vessel will then be met on its return journey and the whole process will be repeated until you have once again safely passed through.

Over-Watch Maritime Security Operatives

Since as early a 1664 Marines have been in charge of security on-board naval vessels. Their duties, as highly trained soldiers, included the security of the officers, crew and vessel alike.

Here at Over-Watch we only use marine trained personnel, including ex-British Royal Marines and ex-United States Marine Corps; using only this calibre of personnel ensures that our protection teams are specifically trained to work in the maritime security sector and on-board ship.

Our staff only work in the maritime security industry and in that respect you can be safe in the knowledge that no matter which Over-Watch service you choose, your vessel, its occupants and cargo will be protected by the best possible people who have been trained to the highest possible standard.
