The Anti-Pirate system is a specialized concertina wire barrier designed to protect large sea vessels from being boarded by sea pirates. Unfortunately, the problem of piracy has become quite serious in recent years, and there has been a need for means of protection that make it difficult for unwanted individuals to board a vessel. It was for this purpose that the Anti-Pirate protective system was developed.
Pirate attacks on tankers and other vessels transporting valuable cargo have long become a reality. Somali pirates hijack ships in order to obtain ransom money, catching up with a tanker on high-speed boats and boarding the vessel while it is moving. Some ships have managed to escape pursuit by Somali pirates largely thanks to homemade razor wire barriers installed around the perimeter of the vessel. But the operation of a permanently installed concertina wire barrier or razor wire causes a number of difficulties - this includes inconvenience during the daily operation of the vessel, and rapid failure of the razor wire due to the impact of the salty sea climate.
The Anti-Pirate system is free from such disadvantages of stationary concertina wire barriers on sea vessels. The Anti-Pirate system is specially designed for use on board a vessel. The Anti-Pirate protective system is a concertina wire barrier made of razor wire, installed on special rotating brackets. In the transport position, the Anti-Pirate system is stored in the form of compact sheathed coils of Egoza razor wire, placed along the inner side of the vessel. Since the Anti-Pirate system is brought into working position only in the event of a threat of seizure of the vessel by pirates, the impact of the environment on the Egoza razor wire is minimal, and the service life of such a barrier is significantly increased compared to stationary razor wire barriers.
The Caiman Production Group manufactures standard modules of the Anti-Pirate system – pivot bracket assemblies, tensioning devices, and concertina wire barriers made of Egoza razor wire. The Anti-Pirate security system itself is developed individually for each client, since the differences in the side design on different types of sea vessels are too great. The installation and adjustment of the Anti-Pirate system are carried out by specialists from the Caiman Production Group, who have extensive experience in installing similar and other perimeter security engineering systems.
