Lots of people here not understanding the difference between a little steam coming if your shower, and high pressure boiler steam. One removed a little dirty. The other removes skin.
@@unrisesay i know. Its not like there is anyone you can turn to for help either. So wtf! If you're out their alone, and the pirates have guns, why can't WE have guns to defend ourselves? Smh
I dont know, I was thinking the same thing until they mentioned that the steam could have SULFURIC ACID added to it. Dissolve your pesky Pirate problem with SULFURIC ACID STEAM!
+Scott Wall yes we did, but we were not able to get a rifle on board. There are many laws and regulations you have to comply with and it depends on the people who are in charge in the office. Furthermore if there is a shootout and people get hurt or die and you end up in a international or national court, who will defend you, which insurance will pay for the left behind relatives of a shot crew member, etc. etc, it is not so simple. Later we had licensed armed guards with a rifle on board, who told us, they have to follow "Rules of Engagements" and cannot just shoot.
While guns sounds great, you need a large number (the ship is very big), and/or you are paying for people who are costing money, taking up resources only for the “maybe”. Having on deck deterrents which can cover the entire ship AND be controlled by one or two people who are safely locked away is far more effective. Does not make for great movie action scenes, but hey...
people dont seem to understand this is to make it the hardest possible to get into the boat the steam will make things slick and burning hot making it uncomftable
Sulfuric acid is a very strong chemical that is corrosive. Corrosive means it can cause severe burns and tissue damage when it comes into contact with the skin or mucous membranes
ahh yes, a weak RPG a super outdated AK47 (they would most likely have an AK74 or an AKM) or a tiny grenade that has a max range of 20 feet will do a lot of damage to multiple ton steel behemoth.
no, it is telling them we are prepared and not an easy target and they will wait for the next one. At a later stage we got four mercenaries with rifles. During the drill I asked them to go forward and try to enter our accommodation. They were unable to do so and confirmed our protection system is working.
We never got attacked, there was a reporting system in place, which immediately reported any sightings of pirates, so we deviated when some pirate activities have been ahead of us. At a later time we got four mercenaries on board with one rifle and during the drill I asked them to go forward and try to enter the accommodation. They were not able to, which proofed to me, our defence system was effective.
+gerald manong No, it cannot be installed on every ship, we had special equipment, huge air compressors for discharging cargo, which we were able to use.
All you need is to place a few bigger mouse traps at key locations. Or go high tech, IR detectors with high voltage shocks to kill. This system is completely waste of money.
It is not that simple to have guns on a ship. We go to many different countries and different laws apply, It is a complicated process, Police comes on board and confiscates the guns and just before sailing, guns are brought back. At that time we were not allowed to have guns. Who is going to operate the gun, the cook? Not everybody is willing to shoot another human being. Training is required, rules of engagement have to be followed, otherwise you get in conflict with international laws. If any accidents happen with the guns, is there any insurance who cover this, etc. We are not living in the Wild West.
Bro - it is not that simple, we are not living in the Wild West. First of all, people in charge in our company did not allow us to have weapons on board, for different reasons, we could hurt ourselves, we could hurt the wrong people, if there are accidents with the weapons, no insurance would pay for it. There are rules of engagement to keep, otherwise you get in conflict with the law. Furthermore if you enter a port, police will come on board to collect the weapons, lock them up ashore and bring them back before sailing, which can delay routine in port. Therefore to protect ourselves with means available tu us, as our company did not provide anything except barbed wire, we decided to install what you see in the video. Later on we received four mercenaries equipped with one rifle. During the drill I asked them to go forward and try to enter our accommodation. They were not able to do so, which proofs our defend system was effective and working.
Wtf you gonna spray steam at them for 2 minutes then I quote "slash water onto there boat" I thought it was a boat ? And I'm sure the acid bit is made up, glad I'm not on this boat
+Terry Rack yes, it sounds good, but our system was built entirely by ourselves on route, with items we had in our store and equipment which was on board. Your system has to be installed in a shipyard with considerable investment, e.g. powerful heaters to produce the boiling (sea)water.
+Wolfgang227 so where is your steam coming from for your very complex system?also I think you already have a very good water system on board for fire fighting and your engine is making lots of heat.if as you say you built that from ship stores you could do anything.
That’s not gonna work! Haven’t u seen captain Philips. And they have rpgs so the will just bust through that stuff. wait here’s an idea, a ar-15 could do the trick.
I could write and design a very effective package of solutions for this. Cost effective too. That was whimsy and if built in, expensive. I really dont get it... dont understand given the value of cargos and safety of crews that there hasnt been even a little investment and training in this and yet "international communities" are sending in Navys (cots how much) to counter "Dads Army" with AK47s and RPGS. No, dont make sense.
So you're going to spray heated and atomized sulfuric acid all over your vessel? Seriously? You must have a hell of a maintenance budget and a really understanding chief engineer! Not to mention godly powers over nature when deploying this "protection" as to not gas your own crew. I might suggest you find an out of the way place to quietly locate a locker to secure a few rifles and ask forgiveness later if discovered...
There's no sulfuric acid in ordinary water. Acid comes from combustion exhaust. On a large ship, fuel is burned to boil water, which turns to steam and is used to drive turbines to power the propellers. Alternatively, on a diesel ship, a separate oil-fired boiler normally for heating crew spaces generates the steam. The steam is completely separate from the burning fuel in both cases.
Yes, YES, YES, Definitely with the ACID! I LOVE IT, WITH ACID ....OMG! RITE-ON, looks like you had a nightmare, woke up and quickly drew up the plans for that system. That's so sinister, I freaking love it 😀
Yes, we were scared, the company did only supply some rolls of barbed wire which is troublesome to rig after leaving port and to remove while entering a port and is more to fence off cows or sheep but not pirates. So we took things into our hands and installed what we had already on board. The idea was to show approaching pirates that we are prepared and not an easy target and hopefully they would wait for the next passing ship. I was also planning to build some kind of flame thrower.
I believe you. It's 2022, brother It's just hard to believe pirates are still kicking about doing pirate shit. One of those things you'd think went the way of the Doo-Doo bird in history. Amazing! Are you pretty much on just the one ship with the same crew members or does the company move you around like a temp worker to wherever your needed? Have you had close calls or even border before?
@@Brunzy1970 - You mention the Doo-Doo, I saw some stuffed one in a museum in Mauritius. The company tried to put us back on the same ship but this is not always possible and no, we were lucky, we had no closed call or boardings.

This system sucks on ice, the same creator of this video said they did not harm the pirates, this was made to "scare them", well if some of them don't get scared from real guns, ¿why would they get scared from some water and Steam?, and also all the money you have to use in this stuff, its 100% get a guard or mercenary for the ship, learn how to use a gun is east as heck.
I find it interesting that companies are willing to spend all sorts of money on different anti piracy systems when a few moderately trained crewmen with rifles can stop them long before they come aboard. Guns and ammo are a whole lot cheaper than all these different contraptions and systems they setup.
Yes, easy to say but nobody was willing to give us guns. Perhaps reputation of seaman's are not that good, they worried we will shut each other or if there is an accident no insurance will cover it. So we had to come up with some defence system. Company only provided us with a few rolls of barbed wire. So we built our system on our own with material we had on board.
Yes, understood. Our defence system was created out of the need to have some kind of protection against pirate attacks. As our company did only provide us with barbed wire and barbed wire is more for fencing of cows or goats or for prisoners, who have no tools or any protection to pass the fence. Further barbed wire has to be rigged when leaving a port and has to be removed when entering a port, it corrodes and is troublesome for the crew to handle it. Therefore we took what was available to us and installed it. At a later stage we got finally four mercenaries with one rifle to escort our vessel. During the drill, as shown in the video, I asked them to go forward and to try to enter our accommodation, they were not able to do so and confirmed to me that our defence system is actually working.

They always come using a ladder. have someone hidden on deck with a device like a long pole to lift the hooks from the ladder as soon as it lands on deck. It will not only push back the ladder but will certainly make the ladder to flip back and fall in the ocean. Case solved.... Now you owe me $5,000 for my idea.
It is not that simple, the deck has an open railing, the pirates can see you and they have rifles. I would not risk the life of our crew, if pirates approach, we start our defense system and we enter our panic room.
@@rickysmyth Not an expert per see. Just been there 8 months protection... And you, you must be an expert to be able to say if someone knows or don't know. Right? FYI, Mister Smyth the expert, the fact is that some devices have been developed to spring back the ladders. The ones I've seen are spring activated poles. And Wolfgang made just a "little" mistake. When do they use the ladder? When they're far away and can see the top of the deck or when they,'re next to the hull? So, do you really think they can see and shoot on the deck when they're against the hull? If so, you and I live in a different dimension... They can only see and shoot when either far away, either at the top of the ladder or on deck. Now Mr. Smyth is going to say that those pirates are using Voodoo to see and levitate the weapons before they get on board... *sigh*
@@rickysmyth Too dangerous and go lock the doors? Sorry, but any "protection", "mercenary", or whatever word you guys uses, is NOT what they're paid for. FYI, these pirates may have one or two boats and a mother ship (most of the time). Once on board they go for the windows of the bridge, shoot them and get in. And they go for the engine room. Good ships will have bars over the windows so even if they shoot these...no go! Then the crew will lock all doors and will lock themselves in a room where they have previously stocked some water and food (very few stock these tho and it's a BIG mistake). The "operatives", are trained and paid for, to do the "protection" part. They are the ones staying on deck and doing the fight...IF necessary.
You've got the right idea but you need to let people who do this on a daily basis on board, to train and assist you. Yes, the defences you've put up will be a deterrent but NOT in the way you think. All it will serve to do is alert any attackers that you're aware of their presence IF you switch them on when you see them/ they see you. Even a small 'wiggle' of the vessel (small enough to avoid washing off speed over ground) is sometimes enough to thwart an attack as it stops the attackers thinking they still have the element of surprise. Moreover, you need to think on a personal level. These attackers will be filled with adrenaline and heavily drugged up (usually khat). All the steam will serve to do is annoy them and probably make them more violent. There are tried and tested methods that professionals can offer to your crew. BMP4 isn't the last word on effective anti-piracy...experience is. Good effort though Sir. 👍
Lots of people here not understanding the difference between a little steam coming if your shower, and high pressure boiler steam.
One removed a little dirty. The other removes skin.
Not boiler steam. Hot air from cargo compressors mixed with seawater, and sometimes sulfuric acid and old oil.
@@leoperez8916 not sure I like the sound of hot oil. Sounds a bit medieval.
the pressure they have is way too small.
Some people want gun. Sometimes, if I hold it just right it will make my shadow look VERY manly.
@Sean Price you won't survive that... you might survive this and you wish you would not.
I like the one with paid snipers on board better. This way may be greener however, but the snipers feed the sea life.
How bout how both sniper AND armored ship/armored cabins...
theres this whole thing about not being able to have firearms on-board in international waters unless your a NAVY...
@@unrisesay i know. Its not like there is anyone you can turn to for help either. So wtf! If you're out their alone, and the pirates have guns, why can't WE have guns to defend ourselves?
Smh
sniper cost way more then water and oil mixed with sulfuric acid to burn off some skin
@@Pr0toc01 That's not true, there can be problems when entering many territorial waters but firearms are fine in international ones.
just bring 2 mercenaries. that's so much better
nothing says a happy crew like communal shower time.
and nothing says back off like a scalding steam burst 😀
Add sauna and body care to that steam ,, I am sure the pirate will enjoy this SPA treatment
not when they add oil and sulphuric acid.
pirates will have a steam bath...
Who needs guns when we have steam!
Very nice! Is it still holding up and effective?
Rofl those "Steel Devices" on the doors
to me, this doesnt look very effective
I guess you didn't see the part where they could optionally inject oil or sulfuric acid into the mix.
I dont know, I was thinking the same thing until they mentioned that the steam could have SULFURIC ACID added to it. Dissolve your pesky Pirate problem with SULFURIC ACID STEAM!
They're using a "Proactive" approach
The real effective measure is using Windows XP to operate the ship and its measures.
Haha glad you noticed that.
If that blasted on any part of you for even a split second you would need a new set of skin because yours will be on the ground.
Thank you for sharing 🌻
That's some pretty poor engineering right there. Ineffective measures that reduce safety at the same time.
I agree. All I see is another means of drowning or being burned out.
I'm not even sure if this is a troll video.
Wondering if you ever considered a .223 Colt rifle??
+Scott Wall
yes we did, but we were not able to get a rifle on board. There are many laws and regulations you have to comply with and it depends on the people who are in charge in the office.

1 guard will do more than the steam i'd imagine.
Not as efficient as sulfuric acid XD

Couple of well armed snipers make a lot more sense.

>using windows xp
>current year is 2013
The pirates that take your skip will have touchable soft skin.
everyone below thinking the steam is 90 degrees fahrenheit
Pouring sulfuric acid basically spells overkill for pirates.
A few .308s will replace all this expensive equipment.
Its a way of telling them to bring their own tea/cofee and are welcome on board ...
no, it is telling them we are prepared and not an easy target and they will wait for the next one.

I’m not confident that opening their pores for a facial will deter pirates

Maybe, So that people don't kill each other overboard.
LMAO! Did anyone else read that? Lol injection of sulfuric acid. Some strong stuff.

Further barbed wire has to be rigged when leaving a port and has to be removed when entering a port, it corrodes and is trouble some for the crew to handle it.
Therefore we took what was available to us and installed the shit. At a later stage we got finally four mercenaries with one rifle to escort our vessel. During the drill, as shown in the video, I asked them to go forward and to try to enter our accommodation, they were not able to and confirmed to me that our “shit” is actually working.
@@Wolfgang227 what do you need my friend is to be unionized walk out on the company till they get you proper protection
@@D.Garcia007 Ok, understood, but running away is not always an option or let’s say not always the best option, sometimes we have to stand our ground.
They always come using a ladder. have someone hidden on deck with a device like a long pole to lift the hooks from the ladder as soon as it lands on deck. It will not only push back the ladder but will certainly make the ladder to flip back and fall in the ocean. Case solved.... Now you owe me $5,000 for my idea.
It is not that simple, the deck has an open railing, the pirates can see you and they have rifles. I would not risk the life of our crew, if pirates approach, we start our defense system and we enter our panic room.
Someone who thinks they are an expert but know nothing about piracy
@@rickysmyth Not an expert per see. Just been there 8 months protection... And you, you must be an expert to be able to say if someone knows or don't know. Right?
FYI, Mister Smyth the expert, the fact is that some devices have been developed to spring back the ladders. The ones I've seen are spring activated poles. And Wolfgang made just a "little" mistake. When do they use the ladder? When they're far away and can see the top of the deck or when they,'re next to the hull? So, do you really think they can see and shoot on the deck when they're against the hull? If so, you and I live in a different dimension...
They can only see and shoot when either far away, either at the top of the ladder or on deck. Now Mr. Smyth is going to say that those pirates are using Voodoo to see and levitate the weapons before they get on board... *sigh*
@@DiabloOutdoors too dangerous. it would be safer to get inside and use that time to lock the doors.
@@rickysmyth Too dangerous and go lock the doors? Sorry, but any "protection", "mercenary", or whatever word you guys uses, is NOT what they're paid for. FYI, these pirates may have one or two boats and a mother ship (most of the time). Once on board they go for the windows of the bridge, shoot them and get in. And they go for the engine room. Good ships will have bars over the windows so even if they shoot these...no go! Then the crew will lock all doors and will lock themselves in a room where they have previously stocked some water and food (very few stock these tho and it's a BIG mistake). The "operatives", are trained and paid for, to do the "protection" part. They are the ones staying on deck and doing the fight...IF necessary.

You've got the right idea but you need to let people who do this on a daily basis on board, to train and assist you. Yes, the defences you've put up will be a deterrent but NOT in the way you think. All it will serve to do is alert any attackers that you're aware of their presence IF you switch them on when you see them/ they see you. Even a small 'wiggle' of the vessel (small enough to avoid washing off speed over ground) is sometimes enough to thwart an attack as it stops the attackers thinking they still have the element of surprise. Moreover, you need to think on a personal level. These attackers will be filled with adrenaline and heavily drugged up (usually khat). All the steam will serve to do is annoy them and probably make them more violent.
There are tried and tested methods that professionals can offer to your crew. BMP4 isn't the last word on effective anti-piracy...experience is. Good effort though Sir. 👍
