OUR GROWTH
Castor Vali was originally founded by former British Royal Marine Commandos in 2011 and began as a maritime security company operating off the Horn of Africa in the Indian Ocean. Growing opportunities in the oil and gas sector resulted in an expansion of Castor Vali maritime operations to West Africa in 2012. By 2015, we had become the leading security provider in the offshore energy sector, with the most extensive track record within the industry for offshore security support globally, a title we still hold today.
Since then, our expertise has grown to include Corporate Services in the land domain, supporting multinationals with travel security, training, embedded consultants and capacity building. In addition, over the last decade, we developed an in-house risk advisory team within our Security Information Services (SIS) department to support our clients with security and political risk intelligence. Blending our operational and intelligence teams, in 2024, we launched our TrackAssist web-based platform and mobile app.
As a result of this growth, today, we support clients across a range of industries and sectors, including energy, FMCG, financial services, insurance, governmental bodies, media, non-profits, humanitarian, engineering, maritime, and mining.

OUR NAME – WHAT DOES CASTOR VALI MEAN?
Chosen with intention by our founders, our name symbolises the essence of our business. “Castor,” the luminary star in the Gemini constellation, known in Greek mythology as the protector of mortals and the divine patron of travellers, conveys guidance and security. “Vali,” a resilient figure from Norse legends, embodies our enduring strength. Together, they reflect our core ethos: to guide, protect, and fortify our clients in the most challenging environments.
