Forth Global delivers comprehensive medical and security assistance both at sea and on land, ensuring that maritime clients receive reliable, high-quality support regardless of location. By combining tactical operational support with strategic guidance, Forth Global ensures clients can confidently focus on their business operations while knowing their maritime personnel’s safety and well-being are being comprehensively managed.
The maritime sector faces unique and evolving challenges, including cyber threats, piracy hotspots in the Indian Ocean, Gulf of Guinea, and Red Sea, and geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea and Black Sea. Understanding these risks and training crews for piracy response remain essential for operational safety and securing maritime logistics. Additionally, the sector contends with significant medical risks such as work-related injuries, mental health challenges, illnesses, and disruptions from extreme weather events. Thus, effective medical readiness and security protocols are critical.
Forth Global tailors its services to address these complex maritime challenges, leveraging strong partnerships with local networks worldwide and real-time risk management portals that integrate information, location, and communication data, providing intelligence-driven support and interventions. We can dispatch specialised medical personnel for projects and provide specialised maritime medical health checks, including marine and offshore examinations with the necessary certificates. We partner with corporate travel clinics to offer vaccination programs, malaria training, and the option to send medics on-board as needed to comprehensively support your company.
We also provide national and international assistance and training, including a certified Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) recognised at the national level, which delivers vital skills like threat recognition, conflict de-escalation, and emergency medical response for local contexts. Recognising that organisations frequently dispatch their staff on short notice, we offer open HEAT courses weekly with last-minute enrolment options, ensuring your staff can prepare effectively even when time is limited.
Maritime enterprises face constant and evolving threats from piracy hotspots, cyber risks, and medical emergencies at sea, where rapid response capabilities are often limited. Forth Global is your comprehensive total-supplier partner that provides risk advisory through policy developments and assessments, a 24/7 alarm centre, a travel platform application, and tailored training for individuals and organisations. Our distinct advantage lies in combining intensive piracy response training, continuous medical preparedness including on-board medics, and technologically advanced intelligence platforms that integrate staff location and risk data in real time. For example, when emergencies arise far offshore, including piracy attempts and severe medical conditions, our coordination with local and international partners ensures ready access to crucial medical evacuation and crisis management services.
By taking away the pains of operational disruptions and enhancing crew safety through proactive risk mitigation, Forth Global delivers peace of mind that no unpleasant surprises and/or reputational damage will harm you. This comprehensive maritime security and medical readiness positions us as the preferred partner for organisations that demand reliable, safe, and uninterrupted maritime business worldwide.
