PATHFINDER MARITIME LLC
OAKLAND PARK, FLORIDA

Whether as a plaintiff or defendant, if you’re facing a trial involving a cruise line, merchant shipping company, seaport, or shore excursions provider, you know that the burden will be on you to provide credible testimony that is based on unimpeachable expertise, experience, and understanding of pertinent laws and regulations – and can withstand a Daubert Motion. And, if your expert testimony is not provided in an impressive yet clear, easy-to-understand fashion, jurors will be at best confused and at worst unsympathetic. Kim E. Petersen provides your team with singularly high-impact, world-class expert witness who can simply, effectively, and convincingly convey the facts no matter the complexities of your case. Kim helped to draft the ISPS Code, and later the MTSA here in the US. He has been the lead instructor on maritime security at the US Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, as well as a Visiting Professor of Maritime Security at the UN’s World Maritime University in Malmø, Sweden. He has trained the US Coast Guard, US Navy, FBI, and dozens of police agencies, and also led security assessments at over 100 seaports worldwide on every continent save Antarctica. He has briefed the White House and Congress on maritime security issues, and served as a consultant to the US and many foreign governments ranging from China to Haiti. In 2002, Kim was called - in the word’s of the Miami Herald - Florida’s Port Security Czar - when he was appointed to oversee and enhance the security of all of Florida’s deep-water ports. We provide attorneys with a high-impact, world-class maritime expert witness who can simply, effectively, and convincingly convey the facts no matter the complexities of a case.
