Yacht-Secure Limited is a division of Maritime and Underwater Security Consultants Limited (MUSC) (www.mandusc.com), which is the premier international consultancy supplying security advice and services to governments, flag states, shipping companies, oil installations and harbour authorities. It has been doing this for over 30 years. MUSC was closely involved in the drafting of sections of the new ISPS code and has contracts worldwide for its implementation. It was the first company in Europe to run MCA endorsed courses for Ship Security Officers and in October 2003 gained the first full ISPS Code certification for a ship in the UK.

Yacht-Secure was created by MUSC to service the needs of the superyacht industry in response to the requirement under the ISPS Code for certain classifications of superyachts to be certificated, and to provide security back-up for smaller vessels whose owners plan to go blue water cruising.

The directors of the company comprise marine security professionals with life long experience in the industry as well as experienced blue-water yachtsmen.

In October 2003 the company gained MCA approval for the world’s first specialist course to train Ship Security Officers specifically for yachts.
