Dutch Security International Holding (DSI)
Background: DSI Holding evolved originally as a Netherlands based but due to the International strategic value of the internal competencies, DSI is now an Internationally recognised body for knowledge transfer especially within the realms of maritime safety and security. One of the finer points of DSI Holding is that although the initiation and primary vision is military focused, we have evolved to provide a training and educational pathway that can straddle both military and civilian/structures. Therefore our internal expertise reflects the deep knowledge and operational competency of DSI Holding personnel and this includes: armed combat, military, police, close protection, and counter terrorism approaches for maritime safety and security and marine environmental protection.
To promote this point DSI Holding has entered into a public private partnership with a network of Universities to launch an innovative International Maritime Safety and Security Centre of Excellence to be based on the island of Gran Canaria, Spain.
It is foreseen that MSS-ICE will bring together the world experts in all matters relating to the safe, secure and clean movement of maritime transport systems within a unique public-private partnership framework. The critical mass resulting from drawing experts together will enable a structure that will embrace military, civil, academic and maritime private industries. The site selection of Gran Canaria has been identified to provide the proposed MSS ICE the most International geostrategic position from an International perspective. This is because the island lies strategically between four continents.
Furthermore: and from a general perspective it is well known that certificates that are issued by governments are only valid within those agencies; this is a problem and one of DSI Holding objectives is to address this concern. Underpinning our main aim therefore will be to implement the actions necessary to enable a broader acknowledgment of qualifications. To accomplish this aim we have established a deep robust team of experts with proven competencies and means. This will be beneficial for the states that need highly trained and Internationally certified professionals. On a yearly basis mobile DSI training teams will perform audits to secure the quality of these states professionals.
