A new centre is set to transform maritime risk management.

Ambrey officially launched its Global Operations Centre (GOC) in Southampton on June 4, with the Lord Mayor of Southampton cutting the ribbon at the event.

Christopher Crookall, CEO of Ambrey, said: "Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the global maritime industry.

"The opening of this centre highlights our commitment to driving the future of maritime risk operations through service excellence, collaboration, and a shared vision to protect every seafarer, every vessel, everywhere."

The GOC will serve as the nerve centre for Ambrey’s maritime risk operations, combining advanced analytics, digital innovation, and the expertise of master mariners to support crews and vessels in challenging environments.

The centre will provide 24/7 surveillance and support, helping clients make informed decisions using real-time intelligence and analysis.

Key services include maritime domain awareness, risk assessments, automated global alerts, vessel watchkeeping, and ship security alert system (SSAS) support.

The GOC also extends its capabilities offshore, offering marine, aviation, and human response services.

Ambrey is known for its ability to monitor and reduce shipping risks across a wide range of threats.

The new centre is designed to help the company meet the changing demands of the geopolitical landscape and continue delivering trusted support to the maritime security and risk management sectors.

Fleet and vessel registration is now open, giving clients access to the centre’s full suite of services.

These include 24/7 overwatch, priority alerts, threat circulars, and exclusive events and webinars.

It will offer clients greater confidence and peace of mind as they navigate some of the world’s most complex and high-risk waters.
