Giuliani Partners LLC Teams with SeaSecure for New York LNG Counterterrorism Program
Giuliani Partners has teamed with SeaSecure, a global leader in maritime and energy security & counterterrorism, to provide security services to Broadwater Energy for its proposed LNG facility on Long Island Sound.
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL (PRWEB) March 4, 2005 -- Giuliani Partners LLC has
partnered with SeaSecure LLC, a global leader in maritime and energy security
and counterterrorism consulting, to provide objective security and strategic
consulting services to Broadwater Energy LLC for its proposed liquefied natural
gas (LNG) facility on Long Island Sound.
Broadwater, a partnership
between TransCanada Corporation and Shell US Gas & Power Company, has
initiated public and regulatory review of a proposed offshore LNG Floating
Storage and Regasification Unit in New York waters on Long Island Sound. If
approved, the facility would be located nine miles offshore of Long Island and
would receive overseas deliveries of LNG to supply New York and Connecticut with
additional energy.
Giuliani Partners, assisted by SeaSecure, has
completed a preliminary security assessment that indicates that, given a set of
critical security assumptions, the proposed facility can be operated safely and
securely. Giuliani Partners and SeaSecure have been working on this project
since late 2004 and will continue to provide security consulting services on an
ongoing basis to help enhance the security of the planned facility.
"This
facility will provide an important additional energy supply to the region, with
an emphasis on security,” said Rudolph W. Giuliani. “Giuliani Partners is
pleased to be working with the SeaSecure team, which has a long and successful
track record in maritime security and counterterrorism.”
Kim E. Petersen,
SeaSecure's President, said, “All of us at SeaSecure take pride in teaming with
Giuliani Partners for this important project, given their exceptional background
in security, public safety, and emergency planning.”
