Sir Nigel Essenhigh
A former British First Sea Lord has backed The Maritime Group International’s (TMG) new security drive to meet rapidly changing threats worldwide.
Admiral Sir Nigel R Essenhigh has hailed the company’s new partnerships with UK-based firms State 21 Ltd and Bowline Defence Ltd.
The Maritime Group (TMG) is an international maritime services company and consultancy with its head office in Seattle and regional offices in Honolulu and London.
Sir Nigel said: “In today’s world of increasing uncertainty it is good to see The Maritime Group International concentrating a broad range of marine and port security services under its banner.
“TMG have enhanced their own security offering by bringing in State 21 Ltd and aligning with the international security provider Bowline Defence Ltd, both UK registered companies.
“I know the TMG partners through the Honourable Company of Master Mariners as two of the directors are Liverymen, one a Past Master, and one of their UK offices is in HQS Wellington in London.
“I can thoroughly recommend the professionalism and ethos of those directors and I share their vision to provide a range of flexible and responsive security services in today’s rapidly changing world.”
Sir Nigel served as Great Britain’s First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff from 2001 to 2002.
The new partnerships mark further expansion for TMG, a global consortium of maritime service companies, marine consultancies and marine management businesses.
Risk management and security services company Bowline Defence is based in London with operations worldwide.
Resilience management consultancy, State 21 brings nearly 100 years of police experience on and off the water.
The new partnerships immensely boost the capabilities of TMG’s Maritime Risk Consulting Division.
