History

Founded in 2009 by Jonathan McConnell, Meridian Global Consulting was established in response to growing operational threats in the maritime sector. Originating as a firm focused on protecting vessel operations in high-risk environments, Meridian quickly gained recognition as the first U.S.-based company to earn ISO 28007 certification for mission-ready maritime services.

While our origins lie in high-readiness vessel support, Meridian has evolved into a full-service provider of offshore logistics, marine operations, and regulatory consulting—serving some of the world’s most complex commercial maritime environments.

Our core capabilities now include:

  • Incident Management & Operational Response
  • Corporate & Regulatory Compliance Support
  • Asset Deployment & Field Coordination
  • Maritime Training & Readiness Preparedness

We continue to build on a foundation of discipline, adaptability, and field-proven expertise—supporting vessels, infrastructure, and personnel across the offshore energy and maritime logistics sectors.
