About the Client

Maritime Transport started in 2001 with just 136 trucks and 5 depots. Today, they are a huge name in UK logistics. They run over 1,600 trucks and 41 depots across the country.  They move goods safely by road and rail every single day. Their services include container transport, freight management, and cargo handling. They are the top choice in the UK for connecting road and rail freight. Keeping their busy sites safe and moving smoothly is a key part of their daily work. 

The Security Challenge

When you move valuable goods across the UK, site security is vital to keep trucks and cargo safe. Maritime Transport handles huge amounts of freight every day. Busy transport hubs mean vehicles and drivers move in and out constantly.

On top of this, their previous security supplier let them down, leaving them in need of a team they could trust.

The site faced key risks:

  • Cargo and vehicle theft: Criminals target parked trucks and containers to steal high-value goods.
  • Unauthorised access: Intruders try to sneak onto the site during busy check-ins or late at night.
  • Site damage and vandalism: Unchecked visitors can damage fleet vehicles or site property.

Maritime Transport needed a strong gatehouse security partner to keep unwanted visitors off their site and protect their valuable assets around the clock.

Our Solution

When Maritime Transport needed better security cover, our Northampton security team stepped in fast to provide reliable 24/7 gatehouse security across their logistics sites.

Strict gatehouse access control

Our guards check all vehicles as they arrive and leave. They run fast security ID checks to ensure every truck on site has a valid reason to be there, stopping unauthorised access.

Visible deterrent against theft

Our presence keeps the site safe day and night. Having trained security officers on site deters thieves from targeting trucks, stored containers, and valuable cargo.

Reliable 24/7 site protection

We provide full 24/7 coverage so Maritime Transport never has to worry about an unguarded gate or gaps in cover. Our guards ensure a safe working environment for all staff.

Scalable multi-site support

We started protecting one main site for Maritime Transport and are ready to expand our security coverage to extra depots as their business grows. 

The Results

Since Region Security Guarding started working with Maritime Transport, the impact on their business has been clear.

  • Total peace of mind: Maritime Transport can focus on moving cargo, knowing their site, trucks, and stored goods are fully safe.
  • Safer work environment: The presence of our guards keeps out unauthorised visitors and creates a safer space for drivers and staff.
