TMG strengthens defence, security and compliance

TMG, the Maritime Group International, maritime, marine, business, defence, security, compliance.

The Maritime Group (International) Ltd of London, UK, is pleased to announce that it has expanded its global services with two new subsidiary companies.

It has expanded with the launch of The Maritime Group (Defence) Ltd and The Maritime Group (Security & Compliance) Ltd) as direct subsidiaries of The Maritime Group (International) Limited.

Both new businesses are based in Liverpool, UK, together with G&W Maritime Ltd, from where they will serve clients in the United Kingdom, Europe and worldwide.

The Maritime Group (International), known as TMG, is headquartered in Seattle, USA, with regional offices in Honolulu, Singapore and London.

Captain Malcolm W Parrott, Executive Vice President of The Maritime Group (International), said: “The launch of these new companies allows us to focus our considerable expertise in defence, security and compliance.

“It means we will be able to help greater numbers of clients protect and grow their businesses wherever they are. This especially applies to compliance and the looming Brextit when the United Kingdom leaves the EU.

“The new subsidiary companies strengthen TMG’s wide range of expert professional services and will also drive further growth.”

TMG (Security & Compliance) Limited is headed up Mr John Mark Rowbotham, formerly of HM Customs in the UK.

It focuses on maritime and port security plus customs, VAT and marine taxation, including taxation in open registries and double taxation.

The company is taking over a role formally provided by State 21 Limited during a two-year joint venture partnership. State 21 now concentrates on policing matters rather than maritime security, but will still be working with TMG (Security and Compliance) as and when required.

TMG (Defence) Limited is headed by a former nuclear submarine captain, Mr Jonathan Powis.

It focuses on key elements of maritime defence outside of war, including support issues, disaster relief, strategic consulting and intelligence.

The TMG organisation is The Maritime Group (International) with headquarters in Seattle, WA, USA.  The Maritime Group (International) Limited, London is part of that grouping.

The Maritime Group (Asia) Pte Ltd in Singapore also successfully launched in January of this year as the company continues to expand.

TMG is ISO 9001 Quality Management System accredited.

One of our Managing Partners, William “Bill” Anonsen, has been re-elected as Chair of the Hawaii Advisory Council on Emergency Management.

Bill was unanimously supported by all 25 Senators for his Senate Confirmation completed on April 21, 2017 to continue for a second full, four-year term as the chair of the council. He has served on the advisory council for six years, the last four years as its chair. This second term will expire June 30, 2021.

Bill, who is based in Honolulu, is Managing Partner/Principal for The Maritime Group in the Pacific.

The Hawaii Advisory Council on Emergency Management was established in 1951 and serves as an advisory body and resource to the Governor and the Director of Emergency Management on issues and concerns pertaining to emergency management, preparedness, emergency response and recovery after a natural disaster or emergency incident.

Emergency Management

The council consists of seven members nominated by the governor. The Senate Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs conducts an ‘Advise and Consent’ hearing to review the qualifications of each nominee.

The committee provides all senators a recommendation prior to the full Senate confirmation vote.

In addition, Bill serves on a number of other boards for organizations concerned with public safety as well as charities and non-profit organisations.

Congratulations from all at TMG to Bill on his re-appointment. He is a valuable asset to this very crucial council as well as TMG where he is a longstanding and valued Partner who has played a key role in the development of the business.
