Logistics and vehicles

HRM has a far-reaching network across the Horn of Africa and is able to facilitate all movements for clients by land, sea and air. This includes airport meet and greets, as well as in-country security briefings. Procurement, storage and freight travel are also services which can be provided. HRM has a number of fully equipped, B6 ballistic level armoured vehicles able to operate across various regions of Somalia and Somaliland. All vehicles, including soft-skins, are well maintained with professional drivers and, upon request, can be equipped with state-of-the-art tracking device systems allowing the HRM Operations Team to monitor client’s whereabouts.

HRM has a large fleet of Toyota Hilux, Prado and Landcruiser vehicles in Somaliland and Somalia. All vehicles are well maintained and have the required insurances for operating in the region. Soft-skin vehicles and B6 ballistic level armoured vehicles are both available, depending on the risk level for the area of operation and the client requirements.

HRM vehicles can be equipped with either global system of mobile communication (GSM) tracking or satellite tracking at the client’s request. For the tracking of personnel, HRM can provide GSM tracking installed onto the client’s smartphone or satellite tracking. Our personnel GSM service was successfully used during the 2019 Dusit Hotel Complex attack in Nairobi, guiding multiple personnel out of the hostile area and to safety; whilst the siege and following security operation was ongoing. Both vehicle and personnel tracking are monitored via HRM’s operations rooms in Somalia and Somaliland. Iridium satellite phones are also available upon request.

With robust networks in shipping, air and land freight in the Horn of Africa, HRM can facilitate any further logistical needs of the client. HRM provides an end-to-end service ensuring that procurement and delivery is always a stress-free process when operating in Somalia and Somaliland. This service is tailored and can be discussed in further detail upon request.
