The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most strategically critical — and dangerous — maritime chokepoints. In early February 2026, escalating regional tensions prompted several of our clients to request enhanced protection for their LNG carrier transits.
Over a 72-hour period, our team coordinated the safe passage of 8 LNG carriers valued at over $1.6 billion. The operation involved 24/7 bridge team augmentation, armed security personnel, and continuous coordination with coalition naval forces.
Each vessel was equipped with our proprietary threat detection systems, providing real-time alerts for approaching vessels, aerial assets, and electronic warfare signatures.
“MaritimeSecure's presence allowed us to maintain our shipping schedule despite the regional instability. That reliability is invaluable to our operations.”
Continued Partnership
Following this successful operation, Gulf Energy Transport expanded their contract to include all Persian Gulf transits, representing a 300% increase in protected voyages through the region.
