Protection of Sea Vessels

Development of the Anti-Pirate Sea Vessel Protection System

The Anti-Pirate engineering protection system for sea vessels was not developed by chance. In recent decades, pirate activity has increased significantly in many regions of the world, for example, in the Somalia region. Somali pirates are capturing tankers, dry cargo ships and other large vessels one after another, demanding a multi-million ransom for their release. The capture of a vessel is usually carried out while underway, the pirates board the vessel and take the crew hostage. Sometimes vessels manage to avoid capture by Somali pirates, and they are usually helped in this by high speed and barbed wire stretched along the perimeter of the vessel, sometimes with an electric current.

Razor Wire and Pirates

However, barbed wire permanently installed on board a vessel has a number of disadvantages. Razor wire barriers are constantly exposed to salty and humid atmospheres, which reduces their service life several times, requiring regular replacement. In addition, permanently installed razor wire interferes with the normal operation of the vessel - loading and unloading operations, mooring and the daily work of the vessel's crew.

Quickly Installed Barrier for Sea Vessels

The Anti-Pirate system developed and manufactured by us is devoid of the disadvantages of stationary concertina wire barriers - the Anti-Pirate system is brought into operation only in the event of a danger to the vessel from pirates. Due to this, the service life of the Anti-Pirate system is much longer than that of barbed wire permanently installed on board the vessel. The Anti-Pirate system does not interfere with the daily operation of the vessel, while at the same time providing it with reliable protection in the event of a danger of capture by pirates.

Egoza Razor Wire as Protection Against Pirates

The Anti-Pirate system is a concertina wire barrier made of Egoza-Cayman, Egoza-Alligator or Egoza-Super razor wire, placed on rotating brackets with tensioning devices. In its normal state, the Anti-Pirate system is stored in the form of covered coils of barbed wire, and in case of danger of the vessel being captured by pirates, it is quickly brought into working position using tensioning devices. The Anti-Pirate system is simple and reliable, while it significantly reduces the risk of the vessel being captured by pirates.

Design Features of Anti-Pirate Systems

The design of the Anti-Pirate system is developed individually after studying the design features of the side of the vessel on which the Anti-Pirate system will be used. Our specialists carry out professional installation of the Anti-Pirate system on various types of sea vessels, a long-term guarantee is given for the Anti-Pirate system and installation work.
