Specification Information. The Scourge of Piracy. The negative impact of seaborne crimes against commercial vessels remains a significant problem for seafarers, shipping companies and all those associated with international commerce on the high seas. In accordance with Best Management Practices 4, razor wire is recommended as a defensive solution to deter and deny access from unauthorized boarding by pirates. However, razor wire perimeters presently constructed can still be easily breached, they are highly corrosive, and easily cut by hand tools. Incorrect installation techniques, improper fitting, and over stretching further compounds their ineffectiveness. Borrowing from the principles used for land-based perimeter security systems, the concept of Piratefence™ was born to address the problems inherent with razor wire defences. MDS transformed the common principles of land-based perimeter security to apply to moving vessels transiting the high seas.
Piratefence™. • • • • • • •
Grapple Resistant & Anti-Climb. Uses Only Proven & Dependable Razor Ribbon. Extremely Durable Modular-Based System. A Highly Visual Deterrent. Easy to Use. Safe, Simple And Quick To Install. Roll And Leave In Place or Stow As Required. Easily Integrated With Current Vessel Layered Defence.
www.mobiledefensesys.com Grapple Resistant & Anti-Climb: Piratefence™ offers the only anti-grapple razor wire. Its frame is designed to limit scaling attempts. The goal of these features is to prevent a hook or pulling device from easily attaching. These delay tactics will “buy time” for crew to counter the threat.
Modular-Based System: Because razor wire barriers currently are erected as a single-piece construction, the defence system is extremely vulnerable and weak during an attempted boarding. When a grapple hook attaches, the barrier is likely to topple down entirely in ‘onefell-swoop’. In contrast, Piratefence™ is designed as a modular system- thereby fortifying a vessel against a complete system failure.
Durable Razor Ribbon: Razor Ribbon® has extremely sharp, razor blade-like edges and is intended for high security applications. Razor Ribbon® is designed to prevent passage by humans and to inflict serious wounds on any person attempting to breach it. Razor Ribbon® contains a galvanized core wire that resists cutting and requires high quality bolt cutters to breach. Each component of the Piratefence™ has been independently product-tested to withstand salt-water environments for 10+ years.
All edges are industrial ‘cut on touch’ strength razor.

www.mobiledefensesys.com Visual Deterrent: Piratefence™ aims to further harden vessels with the use of warning signs that serve as a visual deterrent for attackers who otherwise may have seen the vessel a "soft target".

Safe and Easy to Use: Crew injury is practically eliminated with Piratefence™ due to its roll up design when closed. The “roll” design means the unit can be quickly and easily “rolled-and-stowed” when vessels are alongside.
Vessel Layered Defence: Piratefence™ is easily integrated with other anti-piracy devices and is most effective when used as part of a vessel layered defence system.
