Private investigations – protecting crew, cargo and reputations 

Addressing suspected criminal activity can be overwhelming and needs a specialised, rapid response.  

Since 1953, our Members have been supported by Signum Services, the Club’s in-house maritime private investigation department. Its expert investigators are former senior police officers who conduct criminal investigations on behalf of the Club's Members and related Thomas Miller businesses. 

Recruited from the detective branch of The Metropolitan Police at New Scotland Yard in London, they have extensive knowledge of addressing all aspects of criminal activity. When needed, they will travel worldwide investigating all types of criminal activity affecting Club Members. 

Applying cutting edge policing techniques to maritime operations 

Our investigators have a long track record of applying the tools and techniques used by the world’s best criminal investigation units to maritime and transport operations. In these sectors they have worked on a wide range of criminal cases, including murder, suspicious deaths, assaults, arson, fraud, smuggling, criminal damage, cargo crime, and theft. They are also supporting Members in addressing and preventing cyber threats as these become more frequent and complex.
