News: Follow-up to Secopex Deal with Somalia

Filed under: Maritime Security,News,Somalia — Tags: , , — Matt @ 9:59 AM

     This is just a follow-up to the story I posted earlier about Secopex, the French security company that signed a deal with Somalia in regards to anti-piracy.  It seems that money will be an issue for Secopex.  I have posted the original article at all the major forums, asking for any clarity from the various professionals out there.  So far, most have viewed this as a joke or just one more company talking a big game.

   To break it down to it’s simplest form, Secopex has permission to do business in Somalia, but Somalia isn’t paying them one dime for the service.  So where will the money come from?  Donations, lots of donations.  LOL.  Namely from the UN or any companies that would like to use the services of Secopex, to secure a shipping lane through Somalia’s waters.

   This sounds a lot like a company named Top Cat Marine Security, that tried doing the same thing awhile back.  That company failed, yet they certainly talked a good game, and created quite a buzz.  

    So all eyes are on Secopex, and we’ll see if they can secure the donors necessary to do this.  But to reiterate, these guys will not be hiring anytime soon.  Also, if anyone from the company is reading this, we would love to hear from you about the matter.  –Head Jundi

Conflicting Reports Arise About Role of French Security Firm in Somalia

By Alisha Ryu

Nairobi

20 June 2008

The office of the president of Somalia’s transitional federal government says there have been misleading reports regarding an agreement President Abdullahi Yusuf signed last month with a private French military company. As VOA Correspondent Alisha Ryu reports from our East Africa Bureau in Nairobi, the firm says it has been given an exclusive, three-year mandate to provide maritime security and to train a Somali presidential guard unit. But President Yusuf’s office says he has not signed any such deal.

News: French Security Firm to Curb Piracy in Somalia

     Interesting news, and we’ll see how it goes.  I have no clue if Secopex is hiring or not, and the best thing to do is just ask them direct if you are are wanting to get in on this contract.  My guess is they already have their guys lined up, and they are all probably French.  But you never know, so give them a call if you are interested.  –Head Jundi

French security firm to curb piracy in Somalia

Saturday, 14 June 2008

Somalia: A private French military firm signs a contract with Somali authorities to boost the security off the country’s coast. Pierre Marziali, CEO of the firm Secopex said the country has been plagued by high-profile piracy in recent years. He added that the deal would “strengthen maritime business” off Somalia.

The deal is estimated to be worth between 50 and 100 million euros (USD 75-150 million) annually for the next three years and comes after the hostage-taking incident by Somali pirates of a French luxury yacht, the Ponant, in April.

Marziali went on to add, “Our core business is primarily in the US” and went on to say that the Ponant case had played a role in its signing the deal with the Somali authorities, AFP reports said.

The contract amount will depend on a review of existing facilities in Somalia, and will be used to set up a “unified coastguard, creating a comprehensive coastguard information system” as well as forming a special bodyguard for Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed.

Secopex can mobilize up to 2,000 people from around 40 trades, including divers, translators, pilots and nurses.

The firm was founded in 2003 and provides private security, bodyguards, and security advice and auditing and the branch in Carcassonne, southern France, specializes in private military services to sovereign states.

Jobs: SBX-1 Security Force Officer, Hawaii and Alaska

Alright, here are a couple of interesting things with this gig.  This is maritime security stuff, and you will be posted on a boat.  Plus you need to be familiar with an old school M-60, along with all the basic stuff.  This would be a choice gig guys.  Also, I have heard that Chenega has partnered with Blackwater.  As for the wage, that sounds good and all, but Hawaii and Alaska are super expensive anyway to live at.  It is still good though at $ 42.56 per hour for CONUS work! -Head Jundi

Edit: 2/23/2017 Chenega no longer has this contract and I believe AQuate Corporation holds it. Although it looks like they are not recruiting at this time. Definitely give them a call if you want to find out more about it.
