Port Security

GUERNSEY has a breadth of knowledge and expertise in the specific design and implementation of access control and closed circuit television surveillance systems in the marine terminal environment. This experience was gained through several recent projects at ports across the United States, most notably, a $7,000,000 Department of Homeland Security funded port security upgrade project at the Port of Wilmington and Port of Morehead City in North Carolina. 

GUERNSEY was the principal designer for the North Carolina Port Authority project and also provided construction support prior to and during installation. GUERNSEY has also provided security-consulting services to:

GUERNSEY’s in-house staff also has extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with all types of security system devices and systems. In fact, we rarely encounter a device or system that we have not previously dealt with. This knowledge is paramount when it comes to finding cost-effective solutions, especially for our maritime clients. Often, our clients have existing systems they want to expand or integrate with a new system. In some instances this can be easily accomplished, while in others, the incremental cost between upgrading/integrating the existing system and installing an entirely new system is negligible.

GUERNSEY’s knowledge of all major, reputable access control, intrusion detection, and closed-circuit television system manufacturers, ensures our client’s security deficiencies are mitigated using the best-value products in the industry. Furthermore, this extensive product expertise allows us to routinely design fully integrated security systems where all systems work in concert together without multiple user interfaces. GUERNSEY prides itself on being “vendor neutral” and having no affiliations with any manufacturers or vendors. Instead of being obligated to a particular brand of product solutions, GUERNSEY focuses on consistently researching the marketplace for best-of-breed products to recommend to our clients. This results in GUERNSEY’s clients receiving the best products for their individual application, not a generic suite of products offered through a security system integrator.
