Guard & Protect

FirstWatch provides dedicated guard vessel services designed to protect offshore infrastructure, subsea cables, wind farms, survey operations, and critical marine assets. Using experienced crews, advanced vessel tracking, and real-time monitoring technology, we help reduce operational risks from fishing activity, vessel traffic, and unauthorised access within protected offshore zones.

Our Guard & Protect services support offshore wind, renewable energy, oil & gas, telecommunications, and subsea infrastructure projects. Through live monitoring, incident logging, vessel tracking, and proactive communications, FirstWatch helps clients maintain safe operational areas while ensuring efficient coordination between offshore operations and local marine users.

The Watchful App allows guard vessels to monitor vessel movements, assess closest points of approach (CPA), generate automated alerts, and create detailed operational reports in real time.
