revision of the author's university certificated course of
instruction for use in training maritime professionals assigned
maritime security duties whether aboard ship or ashore. It is
loaded with the information necessary to understand and cope with
piracy, terrorism, crime, and civil unrest. The course is also a
familiarization source for working in an armed offshore
environment. This is a no nonsense book for a no nonsense reader.
The book deals with such topics as the use of a ship's systems in
defense, searches, various attacks and defensive methods, and the
handling of a support vessel in a security role. This book is ideal
for the reader who desires real insight into our maritime, the
security problems the industry faces, the methods used to protect
it, and new techniques designed not for the military or law
enforcement but for the maritime industry in its civilian context.
The professionals who have taken this course says that they had no
idea that the subject was so complex.
This book is in full color and is intended as a reference or
information source for anyone assigned leadership roles for
maritime security and defense. It is suitable for a ship or
facility library. Most photos and all illustrations are original by
the author. Loaded with useful information to meet the needs of
security and defense in the maritime industry, Concepts in Maritime
Tactics is a necessary onboard tool. Ship operators, Masters,
crews, and security personnel assigned to maritime security duties
NEED this information. This book was designed as an onboard
reference and has been considered the best comprehensive source
available for this need. Knowing how to pull a trigger if needed
has a relatively low priority in maritime security. How to avoid it
and if neceesary to win the fight are the essential skills. The
concepts within these pages have been reviewed and used
successfully by security team leaders in such pirate prone regions
as the Somali Basin. Differing from military and law enforcement
agencies, the maritime industry has its own methods, traditions,
and a history dating back 4000 years. These must be taught and
understood to meet the rigorous needs of today's anti-piracy,
terrorism, criminal acts, and civil unrest concerns. The security
of vessels is a 24 hour per day 365 days per year responsibility,
wherever the vessel happens to be. Vessels, port facilities, and
offshore facilities all fall under the maritime industry's
umbrella. The concepts in tactics found in Concepts in Maritime
Tactics pull it all together.
As a trainer in shipboard security and a university instructor in
disaster and emergency preparedness, I have received many requests
from the cruising community and members of the charter yacht
industry for a comprehensive source of practical information about
vessel security and defense. This book is the result. It is concise
and easily used. The information is foundational and can be built
upon as need arises. Security for Recreational and Charter Yachts
is structured for use by yacht owners, cruisers, and those who
visit distant ports at home and abroad. Recreational and charter
yachts have unique requirements that begin with yacht construction
for aesthetics rather than security, and the enjoyment of their
occupants rather than carrying out commerce and work. Although
yachts must follow virtually the same regulations as the commercial
industry, interactions with communities and port facilities ashore
tend to be quite different from the commercial industry. This book
will help the yachtsman cope with vagrancies of current threats and
prepare them for the dynamics of security that lead to the
evolution of future threats. This book is an excellent vehicle upon
which more advanced training can depend.
This book is in full color and designed as a reference and training
guide for multicultural crews; officers and security leaders. It is
easily read and understood. Most photographs and all illustrations
are original by the author. Maritime Security Team Officer/Leader:
This is the manual for a course of instruction for use in training
maritime professionals assigned to maritime security leadership
duties aboard ship or ashore. Many security leaders assigned to
ships have been hired for their weapons capabilities and not their
familiarity with the maritime industry. This has led to errors in
which innocents have been killed. This is a problem that this
manual helps resolve. Leadership in a multi-cultural environment
requires a unique set of learned skills. The teaching of these
skills is an essential factor for successful training on any
vessel. This manual supports many of these training skills. In this
manual are additional tactics, a tested decision making process, a
discussion about where a leader's authorities are codified along
with various explanatory excerpts.
