1215 Working With Maritime Security Guards - Trailer

As part of their anti piracy measures, many shipping companies now employ armed security guards aboard vessels that transit pirate waters. However, there are legal and safety risks associated with the use of armed guards, and it is vital to choose a Private Maritime Security Company (PMSC) that offers highly competent and professionally trained guards who have experience in protecting ships against pirate attacks. WORKING WITH MARITIME SECURITY GUARDS is intended to give shipping companies and personnel on board ship useful guidance on how to engage and work successfully with armed guards, from selecting the PMSC through to the guards' disembarkation at the end of their deployment. It is a companion programme to Videotel's PIRACY AND ARMED ROBBERY, EDITION 3, which deals with piracy prevention on board ship.
