What Our Clients Say
Saved Us from Fines
Our regular gangway watch didn’t show up, and the Coast Guard was on the pier. Nation Security had a TWIC-carded guard on our ship in Port Everglades within an hour. They saved us from a major delay and fine.
Captain Dimitris, Merchant Vessel
Excellent Cargo Security
We handle high-value electronics. Nation Security’s gate guards are incredibly thorough with seal checks. Since hiring them, our shrinkage in the yard has dropped to zero.
Jack, Logistics Manager
Professional Yacht Security
When our owner brings the yacht to Miami, we need privacy and security. The team from Nation Security understands yacht etiquette. They kept the dock secure without being intrusive.
David, Chief Officer
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We maintain a specific roster of officers who hold valid Transportation Worker Identification Credentials (TWIC). This allows them unescorted access to secure areas of maritime facilities and vessels, which is a federal requirement for working in these zones.
Absolutely. This is one of our most common requests. Our officers control access to the ship, checking IDs against the crew list, logging visitors, and screening bags to prevent unauthorized items from being brought onboard.
Yes. Our training covers the Maritime Security (MARSEC) levels set by the Coast Guard. We have protocols in place to scale up security measures (such as increased vehicle inspections or additional patrols) immediately if the MARSEC level rises from 1 to 2 or 3.
Yes. If you have vendors or contractors who need to enter a secure port area but do not have a TWIC card, our licensed officers can act as their official “TWIC Escort,” staying with them at all times to ensure compliance with federal law.
We perform external inspections. Our officers check that container seals are intact and match the shipping documents (Seal Verification). We also check for signs of tampering or structural damage before containers enter or leave the facility.
