DENY BOARDINGS | STOP PIRACY
Effective vessel hardening can be seen as costly, but it cannot begin to compare to the real cost of improper vessel hardening.
Razor wire is both inefficient and ineffective when it comes to combating piracy. However, around fifty thousand vessels sail through High-Risk Areas (HRA) on a yearly basis, spending on average half a billion dollars on trying to protect themselves from pirates using razor wire. While it is often used to attempt to delay intruders, it has never prevented a boarding but the ABaC Anti-Piracy Barrier will, not once but every time.
ABaC SYSTEM
The ABaC Anti-Piracy Barrier System is a robust, lightweight and permanent defensive solution that protects vessels from intruders. It's a plastic modular system that straps to the guard rail of any existing ship, offering complete denial of access by preventing ladders and climbing poles from attaching.
DELAYING TACTICS DO NOT STOP BOARDINGS.
DENYING ACCESS DOES.
Equipping a vessel under established industry practices carries with it a number of hidden costs.
- Purchasing & Disposing Razor wire
- Supplying Operations
- Labour Costs Associated with Constant Installing/Decommissioning
- Damage to the Vessel
- Injuries to the Crew and Associated Medical/Insurance Costs
- Purchasing Safety Gear for the Crew
IT ALL ADDS UP
Based on 18-20 routine transits per year through a High-Risk Area, it would take 6 men, over two days to install/derig razor wire, which can cost a shipping company on average up to $45,000 a year.
In addition, during an average HRA transit, a company would be spending approximately $30,000 in fuel costs, in order to increase a vessel's speed by 3 knots. It’s a common practice, but all it does is simply delay the pirate attack by an additional 2-3 minutes.
It's both inefficient and ineffective.
While guaranteeing the safety & security of your crew, your company could potentially save thousands of dollars per transit, just by making one simple switch to our ABac anti-piracy barriers system.
