MSB Group Ltd, the Multinational Security Business Group, has been created as a catalyst to provide an umbrella to bring together coastal states to standardize a logistical support mechanism for the use and movement of small arms and equipment used in the protection of merchant vessels sailing high risk waters.
In the near future, maritime security companies will be invited to undergo the vetting process in order to participate in this group. These applications will be vetted by the member states through their national security elements.
