Project Overview
During 2011–2012, Applied Gorkha Solutions successfully supplied more than 40 specialized maritime marshals to LSS SAPU of Athens, Greece, for international maritime security assignments.
The project represented a specialized security recruitment requirement, calling for personnel capable of operating in the demanding environment of commercial maritime and port operations.
The successful mobilisation demonstrated AGS's ability to recruit and deploy personnel for specialist security functions beyond conventional guarding, including maritime security assignments.
The Challenge
Specialist maritime security personnel: The requirement was for maritime marshals rather than conventional security guards.
International deployment: Personnel recruited in Nepal had to be prepared for deployment to international maritime assignments.
Security-sensitive environment: Maritime security operations require discipline, vigilance and the ability to operate within established security procedures.
Candidate suitability: Personnel needed to demonstrate the appropriate experience, background and professional attributes for specialized maritime duties.
International coordination: Recruitment, screening, documentation and mobilisation had to be coordinated between Nepal and the client in Greece.
Our Approach
1. Specialized Candidate Sourcing
AGS utilised its recruitment network to identify security personnel suitable for maritime security assignments.
2. Rigorous Screening
Candidates were assessed with emphasis on:

Ability to work in demanding environments
Documentation and deployment readiness
3. Maritime-Specific Selection
The recruitment process was tailored to the requirements of maritime security operations, ensuring that candidates selected were suitable for the specialized nature of the assignment.
