The Port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands has enlisted the help of M&M Security to provide additional night-time surveillance for river cruise ships berthed at the port.
M&M Security will provide security services for the busiest river cruise ship areas, including quays in De Ruijterkade, De Ruijterkade Oost, De Ruijterkade West, Veemkade (PTA) and Javakade.
“Recently, to our regret, we received several reports regarding burglaries taking place onboard the river cruise ships which we’re docked in our port area,” said Alma Prins, cruise sales manager at Port of Amsterdam. “Monitoring our river cruise mooring locations should impede calamity and give the passengers an extra sense of security.”
Amsterdam is one of the largest turnaround ports for river cruise vessels in Western Europe and has welcomed more than 1,800 ships and 450,000 passengers this year.
