Maritime Asset Security and Training (MAST) Ltd, a maritime security and training company, has become a founding signatory of the new International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers Association (ICoCA).
The ICoCA is a body composed of private security companies,
MAST says that it’s demonstrating its commitment to humanitarian law and human rights and standards imposed by ICoCA for its private maritime security company (PMSC) operations. The launch conference and inaugural General Assembly for the ICoCA took place in Geneva on September 19 and 20.
Phillip Cable, CEO of MAST, pictured, said: “MAST has consistently championed the need for strong international bodies to safeguard professional standards in the private maritime security industry. Testament to this included MAST working with the Maltese Government and Fenech & Fenech Advocates to help develop The General Authorisation Regulations (Protective Security Measures on Board Ships), the only licensing regime of its kind in Europe for PMSCs. We are delighted to be a part of the newly established ICoCA and support its aim of clarifying and policing international standards for the private security industry. We see this as a strong step forward for the industry.”
