Tangier Med entrusts G4S with port security

Tangier Med entrusts G4S with port security
G4S, a private security company, has been given a new contract with Tangier Med Port Authority and Tangier Med Special Agency.

Under the $15m contract, three years long in total, G4S will be assigned to protect the Tangier Med, the Mediterranean’s largest port, its assets, commodities and people, including complex technical security operations such as passenger and freight screening, requiring 300 employees.

“As a single provider, with unequalled experience in the port sector, we are able to drive out complexity and cost through addressing and optimising port security operations," said David Fairnie, director of G4S’ ports division. “We are well-versed in operating in large complex environments and are looking forward to working with the Tangier Port team to deliver services fitting of one of the most progressive ports in the world.”
