Ambrey Risk joins BIMCO
Ambrey Risk has now been formally accepted as an Associate Member to BIMCO. This follows the companies’ achievement of ISO/PAS 28007, the first assessment of a maritime security company’s quality management system against an International Standards Organisation framework (ISO).
John Thompson, Managing Director (UK), Ambrey Risk said, “Clearly this is a significant step for Ambrey Risk to be accepted into a Shipping Association and is indicative of the acceptance and recognition of the private maritime security contribution to the safety of seafarers”.
ISO/PAS 28007, as part of the ISO 28000 family of security standards, gives established guidelines to private maritime security companies (PMSCs) that supply privately contracted armed security personnel (PCASP) on board ships. Certification to these standards demonstrates to the international community that they, and their operatives, can legally, safely and effectively guard shipping.
Richard Bibao, Compliance & Licensing Manager for Ambrey Risk said, “Ambrey’s Associate Membership to BIMCO represents a real opportunity for the company to engage with the Shipping community as a recognised provider of vital services within the supply chain.”
BIMCO is a shipping association providing a wide range of services to its global membership of stakeholders who have vested interests in the shipping industry, including shipowners, operators, managers, brokers and agents. The association’s main objective is to facilitate the commercial operations of its membership by means of developing standard contracts and clauses, and providing quality information, advice, and education. BIMCO promotes fair business practices, free trade and open access to markets and is a strong advocate for the harmonisation and standardisation of all shipping related activity. Accredited as a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) with all relevant United Nations agencies and other regulatory entities, BIMCO actively promotes the application of international agreed regulatory instruments.
