Leading Ports and Terminal Security Services in the United Kingdom

Neptune P2P Group is a trusted UK-based provider of Ports and Terminal Security services, delivering robust, ISPS Code-aligned solutions for commercial ports, private terminals, and offshore platforms. With operations dating back to 2003, we help port operators mitigate security risks and ensure operational resilience through proactive risk management and regulatory compliance.

The Importance of Ports and Terminal Security in the UK

As key national infrastructure, UK ports face a wide range of security threats—from localised operational disruptions to major events involving criminal or terrorist activity. A strong and compliant security framework is essential to minimise risk, ensure continuity, and protect lives and assets.

Under the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code and UK Port Security Regulations, every port facility must be equipped to serve as a first responder during a security breach. The speed and effectiveness of your response—before local authorities intervene—can make the difference between containment and escalation.

Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA)

A cornerstone of our security methodology is the Port Facility Security Assessment (PFSA). This formal evaluation helps identify existing vulnerabilities, assess potential threats, and define the current security posture of your facility. Conducted by experienced maritime security consultants, the PFSA ensures a clear understanding of your site-specific risk landscape.

Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP)

Based on PFSA findings, Neptune P2P Group develops a tailored Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) aligned with both ISPS Code requirements and your facility’s unique operational environment. Our PFSPs are practical, adaptable, and designed to ensure your port or terminal is fully prepared for real-world threats.

We support the entire PFSP lifecycle—from development and stakeholder briefings to drills, exercises, and ongoing compliance management.

ISPS Code Compliance and Beyond

Our security philosophy, Prevention by Protection ensures that all solutions are both fit for role and fit for purpose. We integrate ISPS Code standards with site-specific best practices to build a proactive, security-conscious environment across all port operations.

As a UK Department for Transport-accredited provider, we also deliver certified Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) training to ensure your personnel are fully equipped to lead security initiatives and respond effectively in high-pressure situations.
