Explosives detection dogs Kiel – Harbor, TKMS shipyard, Navy & Kiel Week
Kiel is the state capital of Schleswig-Holstein, an important naval base, and home to the world's largest sailing event. The Port of Kiel connects Germany with Scandinavia and the Baltic States – cruise ships and ferries depart daily. TKMS builds submarines and frigates here for navies worldwide. MK9S offers LBA-certified K9 teams with real maritime operational experience for all these areas.

Kiel unites maritime logistics, the armaments industry, the military, and major events – a combination that exists nowhere else in Germany in this form.
The Port of Kiel is a central hub for ferry and cruise traffic in the Baltic Sea. Shipping companies such as Color Line, Stena Line, and DFDS regularly call at Kiel. We conduct ISPS-compliant explosive detection dog checks on ships, terminals, and cargo – coordinated with port operators, shipping companies, and ship captains.
ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) is one of the most significant submarine and frigate builders in the world, with its headquarters in Kiel. In addition, the Kiel-Wik naval base serves as an active Bundeswehr location. This combination of civilian defense industry and military infrastructure places the highest demands on discretion, reliability, and governmental coordination.
Kiel Week is the world's largest sailing event – with around three million visitors, dozens of stages, hundreds of ships in the harbor, and an event program that extends throughout the city center. We create a site-wide security concept, conduct preventive searches, and maintain a discreet presence during the event. For events of this size, we recommend contacting us several months in advance.
Why MK9S for Kiel?
Real maritime operational experience
Our founder has 16+ years of experience in the German Armed Forces – including maritime operations. We know the processes in ports, on ships, and in shipyards from our own experience, not from a textbook.
Government Coordination
Military facilities like the Kiel-Wik Naval Base require special coordination with authorities. Our team is familiar with these procedures and communicates on an equal footing with military and civilian security agencies.
Experience with million-dollar events
Kieler Woche is one of Germany's largest public events, attracting three million visitors. We develop cross-location security concepts for events of this magnitude.
Plannable Availability
For Kiel, we are planning for approximately 3-4 hours of travel from the Harz region. For all deployments, we recommend a lead time of at least 72 hours – for Kiel Week, we coordinate significantly earlier.
Our Background
Our founder is a lecturer at a university of applied sciences for police in the field of IEDs (unconventional explosive and incendiary devices). Our security concepts are based on real operational experience from the German armed forces, police and international missions - not theory.
