• Theft of cargoes.
• Death or injury to crew (less so in the Horn of Africa/GoA region)
• Cargoes recovered damaged.
• Theft of or damage to ships
• Risk of pollution incident
• Danger of collision (involving more thanjust the pirated vessel)

Piracy has long been big business in S E Asia, highly organised on commercial lines. Now we see a similar degree of organisation and tactical planning creeping into the so-called Somali piracy activities, although with less risk of loss of life. 

Until 1995, there had been no organisation offering an organised, hands-on, response to piracy able to intervene rapidly to counter and respond to pirate attacks. As a result, pirates were, literally, getting away with murder.

Prevention offers the best and most cost-effective means of combatting the piracy risk (and that includes S E Asia), and this is being realised by an increasing number of Shipowners. Unfortunately, it has also been recognised by an increasing number of untrained, discredited quasi-military personnel possessing no knowledge, experience or training in maritime operations, who now offer themselves as "Maritime Security" resources. Utilising these organisations is a dangerous precedent that could increase risk rather than eliminate it.

Drawing together our unique expertise in locating and recovering ships for mortgagee banks, high-technology satellite ship tracking systems, unique and global intelligence network, and employment ONLY of Maritime Special Forces personnel, each one with many years of maritime counter-terrorism experience, we are ready to put our Anti-Piracy service to work for you.

Whether your requirement is recovery of a seized vessel, prevention of seizure, use of lethal or non-lethal methods, we stand to serve.

Clients may take advantage of our ongoing research and development into non-lethal assets, gained from many years of operational maritime experience, and in association with leading scientific bodies, university research units and government agencies.

In addition to our Operational Personnel, every single member of the MRM SA organisation is from a maritime background - some, including the Founder and CEO, with decades of relevant seagoing service. We know the sea, we know ships, we know the industry better than anyone else. You can trust your maritime assets to the world´s first and foremost Maritime Security specialist.
