How we operate at sea

Every maritime engagement is planned before it begins. We assess the route and the current threat picture, determine the team and configuration required, and manage the compliance that armed maritime work demands. During the operation, teams maintain a structured routine and stay in continuous contact with the operations centre.

This is the discipline behind the figures: consistent procedure, real-time intelligence, and coordination that does not lapse from embarkation to disembarkation.

Over 8,000 transits, all-British teams, one operations centre that never closes.
