Many of Auckland’s Marinas have a strong security plan with staff or Security Guards onsite 24/7. For the Boating Clubs and Marinas that Matrix Security’s Guards watch over, the benefits have regularly gone beyond prevention of theft and willful damage. So far in 2017 we have saved 3 boats from sinking.

In the middle of some cold winter nights, and with the help of a pump, boons and a bucket we have managed to bail out and prevent the total loss of 3 vessels. The most recent incident was the result of a loose bung and fortunately was spotted early enough that the boat could be pulled onto a trailer to drain. An earlier incident where a boat ran aground lead to more serious damage but the quick use of boons kept it afloat, making assessment and salvage much simpler.

The advantages of a manned security presence often go beyond what is obvious. Fortunately a number of Auckland Marinas have known this a long time, and partnered with Matrix Security to ensure protection their customers can count on.

Auckland’s marinas are increasingly recognising the multifaceted advantages of having a dedicated security presence. Beyond traditional theft prevention, the trained staff at these locations often play crucial roles in safeguarding vessels from unexpected mishaps. For instance, during the frigid winter months, our security team has successfully rescued boats from potential sinking incidents, demonstrating the value of proactive monitoring. This commitment to safeguarding vessels aligns with our ethos of providing reliable protection, as detailed in our Shield program. Additionally, our focus on fair employment practices ensures that our security personnel are compensated with a living wage, further enhancing the quality of service delivered to marina customers.
