Security Guard Services in Equatorial Guinea

In Malabo, government offices, banks and company headquarters are spread between the historic center and Malabo II, where offices, hotels and residences are concentrated, while Sipopo is home to conference facilities and hotels. On the mainland, Bata is the main commercial and port center, and the oil and gas sector has a presence at Punta Europa and in the ports of Malabo and Luba.

Security Considerations in Equatorial Guinea

A program in Equatorial Guinea usually covers offices and agencies in Malabo and Malabo II, stores and expatriate staff residences, and sometimes logistics facilities in Bata or linked to the energy sector. Because the country is divided between Bioko Island and the mainland region, supervision must be organized by area and take into account flights between Malabo and Bata. The program applies the same Post Orders, the same supervision and the same reporting format at every location.

Spanish is the working language of government and business, French and Portuguese are also official, and Fang and Bubi are spoken every day. English is requested at energy sector offices and hotels. The rainy season on Bioko and in the mainland region affects access routes and exterior posts, and summits and conferences in Sipopo increase demand for access control. Coverage plans should provide for relief officers and reinforcement for events.
