The process begins with our custom-tailored screening process and training program, which hones their knowledge of risk management and implementation of Praesidium International procedures. The process continues onboard during each operation with a dedicated training program that encompasses physical training and classroom type training that covers PI procedures, maritime security related guidelines and other security related topics. We heavily invest in our teams and believe that this is the proper approach to guarantee a higher level of service and flawless operations to our clients.
