Maritime Terror: Revised and Updated: Protecting Yourself, Your Vessel, and Your Crew Against Piracy

High-seas hijackings, hostile boardings, and robberies at port or anchorage have exploded world wide, and today's pirates are more daring, sophisticated and violent than ever before. Before a ship sets sail, a comprehensive maritime security plan is essential to ensure the safety of vessel and crew. This revised and updated edition of Maritime Terror is designed to help modern seamen, from commercial ship captains to yacht owners, formulate that plan. It offers sound advice on how to recognise and defend against a broad range of threats-from stowaways to terrorist suicide attackers. Drawing on decades of naval and SEAL team training and professional experience, the authors provide guidance on detecting, deterring, and, if necessary, destroying maritime attackers.

Make sure your maritime travels don't run into catastrophe at the hands of pirates or terrorists. Let Maritime Terror help you formulate, provision, train, and test a vessel security plan to ensure a safe and successful transit through hostile waters.
