Ensuring Incident-Free Offshore Operations with Security Crewboats
Whether you’re moving critical rig supplies or coordinating international freight, WOTTNIG’s security crewboats provide dedicated, visible protection for Marine transport operations — outbound and return.
A Fully Compliant Marine Security Partner
Working with an unlicensed or partially compliant security partner exposes your operation to delays and regulatory exposure you didn’t create. WOTTNIG Is a fully compliant marine security crewboat company, so you dont have to worry about compliance issues
NIMASA & ISPS Code Compliance
Aligned with IMO/SOLAS Chapter XI-2 maritime security standards, supported by in-house Company Security Officers (CSO) for port and jetty clearance.
Nigerian Navy MoU
WOTTNIG operates as an approved Private Maritime Security Company (PMSC) under a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigerian Navy.
resilient availability through an owned fleet and vetted charter networks
with a 2-3 days mobilization window, WOTTNIG coordinates security through its stream of owned and vetted multi-partner charter SEV provider networks, significantly reducing the risk of security vessel availability challenges.
4 Owned Escort Vessels
4 company owned Security Escort Vessels based out of [Lagos and Port Harcourt], available without reliance on third party charter for standard transits.
Standing Charter Partnerships
When demand exceeds our owned fleet, we draw on established charter relationships with multiple vetted vendors, arranged in advance. Not an open market search when a client calls.
24hr Manned Operations Desk
Every escort is tracked from a manned operations desk for the full duration of the transit, from pre departure briefing to post transit debrief. Not an automated ping system. An actual desk, actually staffed.
Safeguarding Marine Operations across Nigerian Waters
Nigerian waters carry real, route-specific risks, for example: armed threats, illegal bunkering activity, congestion near key terminals. WOTTNIG’s escort operations cover the corridors our clients actually rely on, including the Bonny and Brass waterways and offshore blocks along the Niger Delta coastline.
Lagos
High-risk anchorage zone with a documented history of armed boarding attempts on tankers and offshore vessels at anchor. Escort coverage available for vessels transiting or anchoring in Lagos waters.
Delta
Gateway waterways linking the western Niger Delta’s oil terminals and ports. Escort coverage extends across the Escravos and Forcados corridors, supporting vessels moving between offshore fields and Delta port operations.
Akwa Ibom
Home to one of Nigeria’s key oil export terminals and a Nigerian Navy forward operating base. Escort coverage available for vessels operating in and around the Qua Iboe corridor.
Port Harcourt
Anchors one of Nigeria’s largest crude and LNG export terminals, situated along a corridor with an established history of piracy and armed robbery incidents. Escort coverage extends across the Bonny River corridor and surrounding waters.
WOTTNIG's escort crew coordinated well with our own team before every transitt, clear briefings, no surprises, and consistent presence throughout. Made planning our offshore logistics considerably easier."

coordinated marine security Protocol
Every escorted transit runs on direct coordination between your marine operations center and our escort crew — briefing before departure, radio contact throughout transit, and a full report on completion.
Pre-Transit Briefing: Route, timing, and vessel details confirmed in advance. Your ops room and our escort crew align on contact protocols before departure.
In-Transit Coordination: Regular check-ins via radio or satellite maintain constant contact throughout the transit, with clear escalation steps if anything changes.
Post-Transit Debrief: A summary report confirms transit status and any observations — creating a clear record for your operational and compliance needs.
Case Study
A successful security operation through the bonny corridor
On a recent transit through the Bonny corridor, our escort vessel accompanied a supply boat carrying rig equipment from Port Harcourt. The crew maintained visual contact throughout the transit, checked in with the client’s operations center at set intervals, and stood by until the vessel safely reached its destination. No incidents were reported.
Integrated Maritime Security and logistics
WOTTNIG group is capable of combining its marine security services with its marine logistics division under a single operational framework, eliminating the need to coordinate the full offshore transport process with different contractors.
With one accountable partner managing both security support and offshore vessel movement, offshore mobilizations become simpler, faster, and easier to execute.
