Comfort Management:
Risk and Disruption Awareness in Inland Navigation and Cruise
Téthys Naval’s Comfort Management emphasises robust risk mitigation strategy in cruise business and inland navigation, particularly concerning the safeguarding of cruise guests and the protection of logistics projects on inland waterways. The approach is framed around four key security objectives: Deterrence, Detection, Delay, and Response. These elements guide the development of security management plans aimed at safeguarding transhipment operations against theft, loss, and damage, while maintaining a steady, undisturbed operational flow.

The principle of “Assist, Advise, and Respond” is integral to this strategy, ensuring that all involved parties—crew, authorities, and logistical partners—actively collaborate to manage risks. By identifying local specialities as well as situational and predefined risks, the comfort management plan becomes adaptable to various challenges encountered during the navigation process.
Comfort Management also acknowledges the unpredictability of human actions as a significant factor in risk exposure. This is especially critical in areas like port calls of cruise ships or transhipment points and unmanned barges, where unauthorized access or vandalism may occur. The goal is to increase situational awareness and deploy tailored, flexible security measures to mitigate disruptions and ensure the integrity of cruise guests as well as cargo, crew, and operations.

Legal Compliance Review:
Ocean Governance, Human Rights and Justice at Sea
Téthys Naval’s Legal Compliance Review services are critical in addressing the unique challenges of justice at sea, particularly within the cruise industry. With over 30 million cruise passengers each year, ensuring the safety, rights, and legal protection of individuals on board is paramount. However, many cruise ships operate in a legal gray area, where the application of law and justice often falls short.

Current maritime security frameworks, such as the ISPS Code, focus on external threats like piracy but do not address the complex issues of internal crimes, such as theft, assault, and violations of sexual autonomy, which are unfortunately common in the cruise sector. Téthys Naval offers a legal compliance review that goes beyond these limitations, ensuring that cruise companies adhere to both international human rights standards and maritime laws, creating a clear path for dealing with criminal incidents on board.

The role of coast guards and their collaboration with cruise lines is also crucial. Training cruise personnel in how to handle criminal acts effectively and ensuring the rights of victims are upheld is vital for fostering a culture of vigilance and preparedness. Téthys Naval’s reviews ensure that cruise operators are equipped to manage such incidents while adhering to legal principles and protecting human rights, thereby enhancing both safety and justice at sea.
By offering tailored legal reviews and providing actionable guidelines for operational protocols, Téthys Naval helps mitigate risks and ensures that justice is served, both for passengers and crew.
Crime Response Practices:
Preparedness through Education and Training
Téthys Naval’s “Blue Security” programme offers advanced Crime Response Practices to address the unique challenges of maritime security and existing gaps in existing security frameworks like ISPS and STCW. These frameworks, while vital for mitigating external threats such as piracy and terrorism, fail to address the complexities of onboard crimes and law enforcement.

Based on their Legal Compliance Review, Téthys Naval provides tailored training programs to equip maritime crews with the skills needed to manage onboard incidents, including evidence preservation, conflict resolution, and legal compliance. Courses emphasize situational awareness, passenger safety, and well-being. Participants learn how to act decisively and impartially, ensuring that their actions align with international legal principles like the right to a fair trial.

This training builds competencies often overlooked in ISPS and STCW protocols, preparing crew members to address illicit acts effectively without compromising judicial integrity or human rights. Through advanced simulations and scenario-based learning, Téthys Naval empowers maritime professionals to respond to threats with accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law. The education and training curriculum of Téthys Naval is an essential step toward fostering resilience and safeguarding justice at sea.
