The “Counter Piracy Net” invented and sold by APMSS, will turn the tables on the pirates as any ship with the nets deployed is going to be a target they will not want to get close to for fear of ending up in the water with a disabled boat.
The nets are fitted to any vessel from the bow to a line level with the stern gear down the sides with 6 mtr steel booms holding the net out.
The stern net attaches across the full width of the stern and trails 50mtr behind the vessel.
All of the nets are fitted with orange warning buoys to act as a visual deterrent and to warn of danger.
The nets are shipped in heavy duty plastic bins and remain as part of the ships stores enabling them to be deployed whenever and wherever the master feels heightened security essential.
How they work:
The nets are securely attached via a bowline knot or Pelican clip to the vessels stern or side booms
Vessel can deploy or recover nets by hand at 2 kts
Nets have max operating speed of 15 kts
The nets are dragged through the water floating on or just below the surface.
Any pirate speedboat propellers immediately foul that try to penetrate the net
When not in use they can be safely stored on deck in their own containers
They can be deployed in under 20 minutes
