05 Intelligence & Service Offerings

Beyond the
Shell scope.

The Shell audit covers our armed maritime security operations — but that is not the full picture of what Seagull does, nor the full depth of expertise Shell draws on when we are on task. This chapter is a window into the wider Seagull universe: the intelligence products powering our risk decisions, the adjacent service lines, and the partnerships that make the whole system more than the sum of its parts.

What's in this chapter.

Every block below answers one question: what else can Seagull Maritime bring to a Shell operation if you asked? Not a sales pitch — evidence of capability, shown the same way the rest of this portal shows compliance: documents, deliverables, and the people behind them.

Section in build · 10 April 2026 This page is a working shell. The structure is locked in but the content is being drafted by Richard Podmore (business development) and Olga (intelligence lead) ahead of the Shell visit on 3 May 2026. Placeholder cards show the intended shape and tone — evidence-led, not marketing-led. Draft notes in each card outline what will land here.
Block 01 · Intelligence
Vanguard Reports
Partnership Weekly cadence Draft
The regional intelligence products from our Vanguard Tech partnership — weekly threat assessments, situational briefs, and regional roll-ups covering the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and West Africa. Every armed operation Seagull runs is informed by this feed before, during and after tasking.
    To be populated · Olga
  • Sample redacted weekly report (last 2 weeks)
  • Example region-specific threat brief (IOR or PG)
  • Cross-reference to the RAs these reports feed into
Status: Draft — Olga to populate with redacted samples. Live product demo available on request; no steady-state feed exposed to the portal for source-protection reasons.

Block 02 · Briefings
Regional Threat Briefings
On-demand Client-specific Draft
Bespoke pre-deployment briefings delivered to client vessels, bridge teams and security details before entering a high-risk area. Drawn from the Vanguard feed, overlaid with Seagull's own operational history in the region, and delivered in the format the client needs — PDF brief, video call, or face-to-face.
    To be populated · Olga + Rich
  • Sample pre-deployment briefing pack (redacted)
  • Delivery formats and turnaround times
  • Worked example from a recent client engagement
Status: Draft. Pick a past engagement, redact, use as the worked example. No live client names.

Block 03 · Services
Adjacent Service Lines
IOR · WAF · Offshore Draft
The full Seagull service catalogue beyond armed maritime security — vessel transfers, SEV/MSLO operations in West Africa, offshore support services, port escorts, training provision, and compliance advisory. Every line documented against the same management system Shell is reviewing today.
    To be populated · Rich
  • One-paragraph evidence card per service line
  • Links to the relevant SOPs and RAs in Chapter 07
  • Geographic coverage map (no client names)
Status: Draft. Frame each service as a capability evidenced by a document, not a promise. If it is not already in the MS, it does not go on this page.

Block 04 · Advisory
Training & Advisory
ISO 28007 · 18788 · 45001 Draft
Training courses, audit preparation support, and compliance advisory services Seagull provides to other operators in the sector. Every course sits on the LMS showcased in Chapter 02, every advisory engagement is run against the same procedures that govern our own operations.
    To be populated · Rich
  • Published training catalogue (PCASP, staff induction, human rights)
  • Advisory engagement model — what we offer, what we don't
  • Cross-reference to the LMS and the competence matrix
Status: Draft. Keep the positioning practitioner-to-practitioner. No "market-leading" language, no capability statements without a document to back them.

Block 05 · Partnerships
Partnerships & Ecosystem
Vanguard Tech PSS Shipping Draft
The wider Seagull ecosystem — Vanguard Tech for intelligence, PSS Shipping for vessel operations, ICoCA membership, flag state relationships — shown as they actually function in the day-to-day, with the handoff points documented in the management system.
    To be populated · Rich + Olga
  • Organisation diagram of the wider group and partnerships
  • Which procedure governs each handoff
  • Membership list (ICoCA, flag state schemes, industry bodies)
Status: Draft. Use the S22 corporate structure diagram as the starting visual.

Block 06 · Reserved
Reserved Slot
Open
Reserved for whatever Rich or Olga feel is missing from the picture above — an additional service line, a case study, a client capability statement, a regional focus. The grid supports up to eight blocks cleanly; add or remove without breaking the layout.
    Guidance
  • If it cannot be backed by a document or an existing engagement, leave it empty
  • If it reads like a brochure, rewrite it or cut it
  • If in doubt, show it to Darren before it lands on the portal
Status: Empty slot. Delete the block if nothing fills it by the week before the Shell visit.

A note on tone.

This chapter exists because Shell should see the full shape of Seagull Maritime, not just the armed operations covered by the audit. But the rest of this portal earns credibility by being evidence-led — every claim anchored to a document, every capability to a procedure. This chapter is held to the same standard. No superlatives. No "market-leading". No capability asserted without something in the management system to back it. Shell are compliance people. They will smell a sales deck a mile off. Keep it practitioner-to-practitioner.
