SAMI (Security Association for the Maritime Industry)

The Security Association for the Maritime Industry (SAMI) is a global organisation representing companies working in maritime security and related industries.

SAMI has introduced a level of compliance and scrutiny to ensure that the maritime industry can easily identify reputable private maritime security companies. SAMI provides reassurance, guidance, and minimum quality and standards in the delivery of maritime security where none has existed before. The SAMI Standard has been established as the international benchmark for standards within the industry.

The Association is an international non -governmental organisation (NGO), which exists to facilitate clear dialogue and a common standards framework in the delivery of maritime security products to the shipping community.

The international membership encompasses maritime security providers, consultants, trainers, individual operatives and the maritime security equipment, technology and hardware manufacturers to provide direct links to the commercial shipping industry, offshore oil & gas industry and ports too.
