Sovereignty at sea.
We equip coast guards, fisheries agencies, navies, and partner-nation cadres to defend their waters — from blue-water surveillance to littoral boarding to prosecutorial case build. IUU fishing is one of many threats; trafficking, piracy, smuggling, and territorial coercion ride on the same hulls.
The picture is always more than one threat.
Most maritime adversaries operate across categories. A single dark hull may carry illicit catch, smuggled goods, and a forward element. We train your cadre to see the whole picture and to act under the right authority.
IUU fishing
Estimated to drain $23B from legal fisheries each year — often braided with forced labor and trafficking.
Trafficking & smuggling
Narcotics, weapons, people. Maritime corridors are cheaper and harder to interdict than ground.
Piracy & armed robbery
From the Horn to the Gulf of Guinea to Sulu — layered deterrence is the only effective doctrine.
Territorial coercion
Grey-zone fleets, militia hulls, ambiguous flag-state actors. Patrol presence is the answer.
Environmental crime
Reef damage, ballast violations, poaching of protected species. Conservation is enforced, not requested.
Sanction evasion
Ship-to-ship transfer, AIS spoofing, ownership laundering. We unwind it for case work.
Six maritime service lines.
Each line is delivered by people with operational time in the work. We do not run desk-only programs. Every program ends with a mentored ops cycle, not a certificate ceremony.
- M / 01
Maritime domain awareness
Fused picture from AIS, VMS, satellite RF, and SAR. Watch-floor SOPs, dark-vessel cueing, analyst training, and reporting frameworks that feed adjudication.
- M / 02
Boarding & VBSS (civilian)
Safe, lawful boarding on non-compliant vessels. Officer-safety doctrine first. Evidence preserved for prosecutorial case build.
- M / 03
Vessel tracking & intel
Pattern-of-life on vessels of interest. Ownership unwinding through shell layers. Port-state analysis. Evidence that holds up in court.
- M / 04
Counter-piracy & anti-poaching
Layered deterrence for high-value fisheries, conservation zones, and economic corridors — from doctrine through use-of-force framework.
- M / 05
IUU fisheries enforcement
Detection through adjudication. Pattern-of-life, dark-vessel cueing, boarding packages, prosecutorial case build.
- M / 06
Coast guard partner training
Full curriculum for partner coast guards, delivered in-country by MTTs. Mentored through the first ops cycle.
A satellite tells you the hull is there. Intelligence tells you what it means.
