What we do

Aegis Advisory provides ship owners, operators and insurers with a voyage planning tool known as AVRA (Automated Voyage Risk Assessment) that covers some 150 seaways and 3,000 ports all over the world.
AVRA is a narrative and numerical tool for measuring threat assessment that is continually updated by our team. The threat scores it supplies to users comply with the three-tier security plan required by the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS).
In addition, Aegis Advisory combines access to privileged sources with the expertise and experience of our specialist maritime analysts in London, the Far East and the US, to provide clients with real insight into existing and future maritime risks including war and civil unrest, piracy, criminal risk, smuggling and stowaways. Presented verbally, textually or graphically, our analysis covers threats to supplies, shipping routes, trade patterns and the internal stability of relevant countries.

Independent advice in relation to threats to shipping
Aegis Advisory was contacted by a government agency to carry out a security assessment of an area widely considered vulnerable to terrorist groups – a perception that had raised operating costs to the point where they were driving away many potential business partners. We conducted detailed site visits and interviewed senior security and government officials to gain an accurate view of the dangers and risks. Our conclusion was that the threat level was significantly lower than popularly perceived and that this should be reflected in insurance costs to shipping and in travel and business advice. As a result of the reduced cost of doing business, the number of companies moving into the region grew significantly.
