Counter Piracy
Our highly trained and experienced onshore and offshore security and support staff provide comprehensive and reliable anti-piracy services to safeguard your ship`s transit through high-risk areas such as the Gulf of Aden, West Africa and the Malacca Straits.
MUSC`s comprehensive anti-piracy solutions are industry leading, combining best practice and over 30 years of experience to protect your assets and crew. We are widely recognised by insurance companies as a proven supplier of maritime security solutions. In conjunction with Special Contingency Risks Ltd (a divsion of Willis Insurance) we contribute to an innovative piracy insurance package.
In line with IMO advice, our preferred approach is to use highly trained on-board security officers, trained in non-lethal defence combined with onshore marine intelligence, however, if you feel your transit requires additional security MUSC also provides armed guards. Our Counter Piracy Services include:
- Onboard Maritime Security Liaison Officers
- Route-planning & vessel monitoring from our 24/7 operations room
- Ship security assessments
- Best Management Practice (BMP) & vessel hardening
- Crew and management training
- Vessel Shield*
