SOCP OTHER PRODUCTS

Title: SOCP Anti-Piracy Video

SOCP Anti-Piracy DVD, which has been developed to assist seafarers, vessel owners/operators, maritime unions, underwriters and government agencies in preparing vessel crews for piracy attacks.

The SOCP Anti-Piracy DVD includes two training sessions that are complimentary to each other

  • Onboard Anti-Piracy Measures for Mariners
  • Crew Hostage Situation Awareness and Response

The threat and success of pirate attacks on commercial vessels has had a significant impact on the maritime industry and on the lives of seafarers that crew the vessels.  Piracy continues to remain a major challenge to maritime nations. It is obvious that the maritime community must do more to end this threat to our sea-lanes and mariners.
