About Palaemon

Built from real-world experience

Developed through operational maritime security experience and designed specifically for commercial vessels.

Why we built this

The era of improvised defences is over

Our founder, Steve Regis, is a former Royal Marines Commando, a specialist in amphibious warfare. After the military he worked in private maritime security and sailed on more than 50 ships through high-risk areas.

Time and again he saw ships relying on razor wire: inconsistent, dangerous for the crew to handle, and never designed for the threat. Palaemon was built to replace it with a practical, scalable, engineered approach to vessel perimeter protection.

“Ultimately this is about protecting people, because every seafarer deserves to go home safely.”Steve Regis, founder

Security, engineering and logistics

Our team combines operational maritime security experience, engineering expertise and global logistics capability. We understand the challenges commercial operators face, because we've worked in the environments where those challenges are real.

Equipment is supplied and recovered through regional hubs and partners, so deployments can be coordinated at port or offshore and fit into existing trading patterns.
