We’ve recorded our busiest start to a year so far with rising demand for our services worldwide in 2017.
Our professional and friendly team have lined up contracts across multiple sectors after a surge of interest in in January.
Targeted projects cover ferry and cruise operations, port management, marine surveys, feasibility studies and maritime and border security.
Although the maritime market is toughening in certain sectors, there are still myriad opportunities available.
Our clients tell us they are seeking services which give them the competitive edge to develop and win new business.
We are seeing an increasing trend for the outsourcing of specialist services to ensure the most cost-effective solution for any given project.
Recent investment in our own business has helped us to our busiest first month of the year with extensive negotiations, proposals and expressions of interest for major projects.
It is an extremely positive and exciting time as we look forward to helping more businesses and organisations succeed in the maritime sector during 2017.
We’re bidding for work in the Caribbean, Mauritius, the Far East, the Middle East, East Africa, the Americas, Russia, the UK and Europe.
The latest successes come after significant developments at TMG.
We recently appointed experienced commercial manager Kevin Hawes as our Business Development Manager and Senior Consultant based in London.
We’ve also launched this website and gained ISO 9001 quality accreditation. Last year we joined forces with resilience management specialists State 21 and aligned with international security provider Bowline Defence Ltd.
We are also carrying out joint proposals with HSOG Limited/Graham & Woolnough Limited and Arup Limited.

We’re hoping to hear the Home Office’s response to questions about security on the coast when we attend the next meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Maritime and Ports.
The influential parliamentary group wrote to the Government about the issue following our appearance at its December meeting at Westminster.
Together with our joint venture partners State 21, we outlined the main areas of concern during a presentation titled ‘How secure is our coastline?’
A centralised command and control structure, multi-agency operations and co-ordinated intelligence gathering were among the points of debate at the meeting.
Former First Sea Lord Admiral Lord West of Spithead, said that a centralised capability of command and control to improve inshore security was ‘exactly what was needed and something he has proposed in the past’.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group agreed to seek Government assurances about measures to bolster Great Britain’s inshore borders in the fight against such threats as people smugglers, organised crime, illegal fishing, terrorists and drugs gangs.
Now we will return to the Group’s meeting on January 30 and hope to hear the Government’s response.
The meeting will also include a presentation from Malcolm Brown, who is Director of the National Maritime Information Centre titled ‘Maritime Surveillance: what happens at the National Maritime Information Centre’.
His presentation is sure to be of interest, bearing in mind the implications for coastal and maritime security.
Terrorism and illegal immigration continue to remain high on the national agenda. Illegal fishing, people trafficking, drug smuggling and organised crime must also play a major role in any consideration of coastal and maritime security.
With multiple agencies involved, a firm focus is needed to ensure progress is made to make our 13,900km of coastal borders more secure.
This is particularly important when the maritime sector’s direct contribution to the economy is estimated at about £13.8billion, not to mention the growing threat from terrorism.
