CASE STUDY
CONTEXT
A technical superintendent responsible for an LNG fleet was looking to move away from improvised ship protection methods and implement a more consistent, engineered anti-piracy barrier solution across the fleet.
Previous options required outright purchase of equipment - creating challenges around scaling across the fleet, lack of flexibility, and long-term storage onboard.
Palaemon barriers were introduced as a service-based anti-piracy barrier solution, allowing deployment across vessels without ownership constraints.
A commercial structure was developed to support flexibility across the fleet, with initial deployment to a lead vessel to validate operational fit and gather crew feedback.
APPROACH
DEPLOYMENT
Barriers were delivered to the vessel and installed by onboard crew.
After initial familiarisation, installation became efficient, streamlined, and time-effective - with no specialist support required.
Installation on standard railings was straightforward, with barriers fitting securely and as intended.
Barriers were deployed along vessel perimeters to provide effective protection during high-risk transits.
CREWFEEDBACK
"The barriers are lightweight, robust, and well designed for their intended purpose."
"After the initial installation, the overall process became smooth, streamlined, and time-effective."
"Once the crew became familiar with the installation method, the barriers could be installed efficiently and without difficulty."
OPERATIONAL NOTES
Installation around mooring chocks presented some alignment constraints, although this did not prevent effective coverage of key areas.
Feedback has been incorporated into ongoing design improvements to further enhance adaptability.
OUTCOME
The solution is now deployed across the managed fleet, establishing a consistent, engineered anti-piracy barrier protection standard across the fleet.
​
There is active encouragement for adoption across partner and chartered vessels, with the aim of setting a higher industry baseline.
​
The approach continues to scale as additional vessels enter high-risk trading routes.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
01 / MARITIME RISK & PIRACY
Maritime piracy remains a persistent threat to commercial vessels operating in high-risk regions including the Gulf of Aden, West Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Boarding attempts typically rely on speed, ladders, and vulnerable access points along the vessel perimeter.
02 / LIMITATIONS OF TRADITIONAL PROTECTION
Conventional ship protection measures such as razor wire and improvised barriers often create operational challenges around storage, handling, maintenance, and deployment consistency across fleets.
03 / ENGINEERED ANTI-PIRACY PROTECTION
Palaemon anti-piracy barriers are engineered to prevent unauthorised boarding through scalable perimeter protection designed for commercial vessels operating in high-risk maritime regions.
> Delivered as a service, barriers can be supplied, deployed, recovered, and redistributed without long-term ownership commitments or capital expenditure.
> Suitable for LNG carriers, tankers, container ships, and other commercial vessels.
＞ Integrates into existing workflows without disruption to crew or operations.
