Anti-Piracy

International shipping groups and governmental agencies are paying significant attention to the piracy problem and have provided a great deal of assistance in mitigating the risks in the most affected areas. But with all the defensive technology available including the presence of patrolling warships, piracy has not disappeared and indeed seems to have flourished.

GlobalMarine and its global agent network is geared to provide information, education, technology and professional staff assistance in support of threat mitigation, preparedness planning and defensive protection against acts of piracy worldwide.

Sample program options

1. Instruction and training of existing personnel.
This program offers basic crew training, including how to better deal with the pirate threat with existing equipment like hoses, lights etc. This training provides necessary basic knowledge that gives a crew confidence to face up to and deter a small group of pirates.

2. Supervising and reviewing readiness of personnel and vessel.
Experienced supervisors make periodic surveys and consult the company on what measures are useful and available to improve its defense against future attacks. Some options are considered that are non-extreme but efficient.

3. Temporary manning of cargo vessels with armed or unarmed security teams.
Small teams of highly trained ex-military security officers can board the vessel for short or long term periods, before and during transit of danger zones. This provides the best defense and has proven its efficiency several times recently. To run this program, security officers need to be equipped with specific measures that have to be provided.
