About Vanguard
A connected approach to maritime risk and recovery
Vanguard is a global maritime risk and recovery business helping organisations Understand, Manage, Respond to and Recover from maritime risk.
We bring together intelligence, loss prevention, digital technology, 24/7 monitoring, crisis response, casualty and salvage expertise and marine insurance support within one connected organisation.
From identifying an emerging threat to coordinating the response to a major casualty, we help our clients make informed decisions and act when it matters.
Who are we
Maritime risk does not fit neatly into individual disciplines. Intelligence affects operational decisions. Operational decisions affect exposure. Exposure affects insurance. And when an incident occurs, the quality and speed of the response can determine the scale of the eventual loss.
Vanguard was built around that reality.
We connect maritime intelligence, operational expertise, technology, loss prevention, crisis response, salvage and insurance support so that our clients can access the expertise they need throughout the maritime risk lifecycle.
Why Vanguard Exists
Maritime risk is increasingly complex.
The response shouldn't be fragmented.
Shipping operates in an environment shaped by geopolitical instability, security threats, changing regulation, operational pressure, extreme weather and increasingly complex casualty situations.
Yet many organisations still manage those risks through disconnected suppliers, systems and information sources.
Vanguard brings them together.

At the heart of Vanguard
The Maritime Assistance Centre (MAC)
Operating 24/7, the MAC monitors maritime activity, analyses emerging risk, supports operational decision-making and provides a central point of coordination when incidents occur.
It connects our intelligence, technology and operational teams with the specialists required to respond, from security and crisis management through to salvage, technical support and recovery.
One centre. One operational picture.
Connected expertise around the clock.
Vision

innovative, user-friendly tools for safeguarding their assets.
