Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea accounted for over 90% of global kidnappings at sea reported in 2019 and the number of incidents reported showed no sign of abating in 2020. Maritime crime in West Africa remains a pernicious threat to shipping and offshore interests. Significant investment and strategic partnering has enabled Alpine Solutions Security to extend its provision of exceptional operational protection and client care to the West Africa region with a fully compliant solution. We’ve adapted to the threats that exist in the Gulf of Guinea and have planted roots to ensure that Alpine Solutions Security is embedded in the local community, offering a fully compliant solution, a 24/7/365 regional operations centre and a fleet of modern, fit-for-purpose security escort vessels. PVI offers a fleet of security escort vessels, which are among the fastest and most capable boats available in the region. Visible security measures deter the risk of potential attacks. Our fleet of 2 Security Escort Vessels make speeds of more than 40 kts in any weather and are fitted with the latest generation of maritime thermal imaging systems that can operate clearly in total darkness, through solar glare, and through light fog and smoke. They are available throughout the Gulf of Guinea, technically operated by the Alpine Solutions Security Fleet Management Team, and remain fully compliant with local laws. We also have access to a tried and tested fleet of charter vessels to which we apply our trademark unwavering insistence on quality and operational excellence.
