Maritime Risk Consulting

One’s Fate is Settled Beyond the Horizon

Among its areas of expertise, Athena’s team distinguishes itself by its emphasis on the maritime domain. In both civilian and military capacities, ASP is a leader in its knowledge of the manner in which human civilization continues to rely on the sea.

Athena’s personnel have dealt with maritime security as naval personnel as well as policy consultants for government agencies and large corporations. Such analysis is not limited in its utility to navies and shipping companies, however. For the global economy, and with it, the bottom line of even the most local of businesses, depends on an understanding of maritime risk.

From sea lines of communications to the security of undersea cables, to the nascent race to extract minerals from beneath the ocean floor, the relevance of the maritime domain to business operations, not to speak of the fate of nations, is greater now than at any point in human history. Athena provides a guide to this world between the continents.

Globalization is a maritime affair. The same routes that bring commerce and prosperity bring navies and invading armies. The struggle for sea control, which looms on the horizon, is nothing short of a fight for survival. Oceans are not dividers but connectors of the entire spectrum of human activity between landmasses. To understand it is to apprehend the direction of mankind.
