Overview

This book is in full color and is intended as a reference or information source for anyone assigned leadership roles for maritime security and defense. It is suitable for a ship or facility library. Most photos and all illustrations are original by the author. Loaded with useful information to meet the needs of security and defense in the maritime industry, Concepts in Maritime Tactics is a necessary onboard tool. Ship operators, Masters, crews, and security personnel assigned to maritime security duties NEED this information. This book was designed as an onboard reference and has been considered the best comprehensive source available for this need. Knowing how to pull a trigger if needed has a relatively low priority in maritime security. How to avoid it and if neceesary to win the fight are the essential skills. The concepts within these pages have been reviewed and used successfully by security team leaders in such pirate prone regions as the Somali Basin. Differing from military and law enforcement agencies, the maritime industry has its own methods, traditions, and a history dating back 4000 years. These must be taught and understood to meet the rigorous needs of today's anti-piracy, terrorism, criminal acts, and civil unrest concerns. The security of vessels is a 24 hour per day 365 days per year responsibility, wherever the vessel happens to be. Vessels, port facilities, and offshore facilities all fall under the maritime industry's umbrella. The concepts in tactics found in Concepts in Maritime Tactics pull it all together.
