Anti-Piracy water system started
-
US-based SAFE Solutions is launching anti-piracy system today with a demonstration at the Bayonne Drydock New Jersey. The ship Horizon Challenger is being outfitted with the Nemesis 5000: a non-lethal, extremely high pressure water system intended to repel and deter pirates.
The company says: “The Nemesis 5000 was designed and invented by a
former member of the British Special Boat Service with more than two
decades experience in dealing with maritime issues.”SAFE’s president, Hector Delgado, says: “If you are a pirate, business
is booming: According to the ICC International Maritime Bureau’s Piracy
Reporting Centre (IMB), piracy attacks around the world more than
doubled to 240 from 114 during the first six months of 2009 compared
with the same period in 2008. It is something that, ultimately, affects
all of us. In fact, Lloyd’s recently stated that the cost of insurance
for vessels going through the Gulf of Aden now costs approximately
$20,000 per vessel, per voyage. This is staggering considering that
just a year ago the same insurance coverage cost just $500. This cost,
at least in part, is being passed on the consumer.” The Nemesis 5000 is
non-lethal and surrounds the ship with a “wall of water” which prevents
pirates from boarding the ship. Further, it does not require
specialists for its installation, maintenance, and use. By connecting
directly to the ship’s fire suppression system, adequate water pressure
is guaranteed. And, if a fire (or even multiple fires) breaks out on
board the ship in the midst of a pirate attack, the Nemesis 5000 will
not affect the performance of the fire suppression system.Source: Maritime Global Net
