Ouest Sécurité Marine, the company serving the safety of sailors
For 15 years, Ouest Sécurité Marine puts all its know-how and expertise at the service of the maritime safety to protect sea users.
Our raison d’être is the safety of the users of the sea
Ouest Sécurité Marine was created in August 2007 on the initiative of maritime cooperatives that merged their life raft overhaul activities. Since then, OSM has continued to grow by diversifying its strategic areas of activity: overhaul, trading, installation, training and by increasing its territorial presence (6 overhaul stations on the Atlantic coast).
This growth has been achieved by relying on two major assets: the support of the French maritime cooperation and a privileged partnership with Survitec Zodiac, world leader on the market.
Data from the Institut Maritime de Prévention show that the mortality rate in the fishing sector is 7.2 times higher than in the construction sector, with 7.24 deaths per 10,000 fishermen.
“It is the responsibility of Ouest Sécurité Marine to provide appropriate solutions and guarantee the safety of all those who live by the sea and deal with it on a daily basis.”

Our business areas
At sea, safety must be the norm.
Ouest Sécurité Marine intervenes in several cases to guarantee the safety of users at sea.
Fishing
Ouest Sécurité Marine equips professional sailors sailing alone or with a crew, in order to guarantee a maximum level of safety during fishing operations.
Passenger transport
Le transport de passagers en mer pose de nombreux problèmes de sécurité. Ouest Sécurité Marine intervenes to ensure the maritime security of boats transporting people.
The French Navy
They look after our safety, we look after theirs! The French Navy, with its high level of operational requirements, trusts Ouest Sécurité Marine for the overhaul of its onboard life rafts.
The administrations
Ouest Sécurité Marine is the preferred partner of the State and our administrations. Customs, Maritime Affairs, Gendarmerie, Lighthouses and Beacons, SNSM, firemen: they trust us all year round.
Service vessels
Our ports are the entry points for part of the international trade. We work with all port professionals: mooring, piloting, towing, dredging, bathymetry, etc.
Shipping companies
There are many workers in the sea and their jobs are as diverse as they are varied. From diving clubs to wind farm maintenance vessels and nature conservation associations, they all entrust us with their equipment.
The shipyards
Nothing beats a well-born boat. We work with shipyards to design and integrate the rescue boom, so that situations at sea can be anticipated even before the hull hits the water.
Offshore racing
High-tech boats, pushed to their maximum performance, far from the coast: we are at the skippers’ side so that every difficult situation can be mastered.
Boaters
Ouest Sécurité Marine overhauls the survival equipment of yachtsmen: rafts, life jackets, wetsuits, beacons. Skippers deal with their shipchandler or directly and we act behind the scenes, at your side.
