ABL New Zealand has officially launched a specialised maritime and port security consulting service, led by seasoned expert Natasha Hallett, who joins the team as Senior Maritime Security Consultant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With over 20 years of experience in strategic and operational maritime security roles across New Zealand\u2019s public sector, Natasha brings a wealth of expertise in ISPS Code compliance, port facility assessments, security design, and disaster resilience planning. Her previous leadership roles at Maritime New Zealand and her work across the Pacific Islands position her as a trusted advisor in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to have Natasha join us in this critical role. Maritime security has never been more at risk than it is today. Applying ABL\u2019s long legacy in marine casualty management and loss prevention to support clients, shipyards, and port authorities in managing security risks early on is an obvious step for us. I am personally pleased to welcome Natasha to the helm of this important initiative,\u201d Morwenna Vye, Head of ABL New Zealand.<\/p>\n

In her new role, Natasha will lead and expand ABL\u2019s offerings in: ISPS Code compliance and training; ISM Code and SMS audits; ISPO port compliance services; Security risk assessments and emergency planning; Custom consultancy for ports, shipyards, and maritime facilities.<\/p>\n

Her contributions have been recognised by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Australasian Women in Emergencies Network, highlighting her leadership in regional maritime security and advocacy for women in the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe security risk to ports and other maritime facilities is ever-present and requires careful attention to detail to reduce risks to a reasonable minimum and in compliance with the ISPO code. ABL brings local regulatory knowledge, international code expertise, and vast marine experience, with a reputation in loss prevention and risk engineering. I am excited to apply my industry knowledge within the multi-disciplined setting that ABL can provide,\u201d comments Natasha Hallett, Snr. Maritime Security Consultant<\/p>\n

ABL New Zealand offers expert engineering and consultancy services across the maritime and offshore energy sectors, with a strong focus on safety, sustainability, and risk management.<\/p>\n
