What Port2Port Maritime Security Ltd does

Port2Port Maritime Security Ltd, doing business as Neptune P2P Group, is a Dubai-headquartered specialist security risk solutions provider founded in 2009 by former British Special Military Unit officers. The company operates across five integrated service pillars: maritime security (armed escort and armed SEV support for merchant vessels, cruise ships, superyachts, oil and gas vessels, cable laying, fisheries, and port facilities), security risk management consulting (risk advisory, business continuity, crisis management, travel risk management, market entry enablement), protective security services (executive protection, high-risk advisors, expeditionary security, facilities security), a subscription-based intelligence layer (Security Intelligence Portal, Global Risk Map, Travel Risk Management App, incident and spotlight reports), and a Training Academy delivering maritime, HEAT, capacity building, cyber awareness, and security advisory courses under Highfield accreditation. Its core technology platform combines a 24/7/365 operations centre with the Security Intelligence Portal providing conflict and global threat reporting, interactive risk maps, and tracker dashboards; the companion Travel Risk Management App supports deployed personnel with real-time intelligence. The business model is predominantly professional services on custom, quote-based multi-year enterprise contracts, augmented by recurring subscription revenue from the intelligence portal and fee-based training. The company serves government agencies, oil and gas operators, shipping companies, media organizations, NGOs, and private individuals, with a sovereign-nation anchor contract providing armed SEV support in the Gabonese EEZ via its wholly-owned subsidiary Gabon Maritime Security (GMS). The company is privately held, founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional funding.
