Security Operations in West Africa

Forte Maritime Security provides integrated maritime security solutions for vessels operating to and from West African ports and offshore terminals, supporting CSOs and operators in effectively managing regional risk exposure.

Our services include the arrangement of authorized naval escorts, deployment of accredited armed security personnel where permitted, or a tailored combination of both, always in full compliance with Flag State, Coastal State, and Port State regulations.

Prior to departure, FMS conducts structured Pre-Departure Security Inspections (PDSI), including systematic searches for stowaways, narcotics, contraband, and unauthorized access risks, reducing the likelihood of delays, penalties, or legal complications.

Leveraging in-depth regional knowledge and established cooperation with vetted local authorities and security partners, all operations are executed within the applicable legal framework, ensuring transparency, compliance, and operational continuity.

FMS enhances voyage security, protects crew and cargo integrity, and enables operators to maintain schedule reliability while minimizing exposure to security and insurance-related risks.
