Whilst onboard an aircraft the officers will ensure the subject is fully compliant and presents no risk to the safety of the aircraft, crew or passengers.

On board security

Stowaways often become agitated, aggressive and violent when their demands are not met by local authorities thus presenting a risk to the safety of themselves the crews and the vessel. Our specialist Maritime Custody & Security Officers are all fully trained and experienced in controlling these situations, including restraint and first responder first aid trained. The presence of one of our teams will ensure that the stowaways are controlled and secure so that a vessel can function safely and normally with minimum disruption to sailing schedules and a vessels operating routine.
