Elite U.S. Protection Firm to Offer Maritime Protection Services to Combat Indian Ocean Piracy
NEW YORK, May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- AT-RISK Protection and Investigations LLC announces the immediate availability of a range of operational, technical and crew training solutions in response to rising maritime client concerns about the growing threat of piracy off the East African coast of Somalia and Kenya. Each year, from the Gulf of Aden to Straits of Malacca, modern piracy accounts for hundreds of deaths and nearly $16 billion in economic loss around the world.
According to Chuck Tobin, President of AT-RISK PI, in 2008 there were over 100 attacks in the Gulf of Aden/Horn of Africa region, including over 40 successful ship seizures, resulted in hundreds of persons taken hostage. As of early May 2009, there have been 81 attempted pirate attacks, with approximately 18 of those ships successfully hijacked and 18 vessels with almost 300 crew still remaining in pirates' hands. Tobin stated piracy disrupts critical humanitarian aid deliveries to East Africa, sharply increases shipping insurance premiums along one of the world's most traveled routes to near-prohibitive levels, damages littoral economies by forcing vessels to divert around the Cape of Good Hope and raises the prospect of environmental disasters.
According to Tobin, his firm offers the following maritime security services:
A security element aboard ship while underway or in port
On-board security personnel training to the same standards as the high quality training currently provided to the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard for counter piracy/banditry measures while underway.
Counter-piracy crew training ranging from non-lethal hostile boarding deterrence measures to hostage endurance and survival techniques
AT RISK PI, LLC has a strong record of providing protective services, investigations, consulting and training to customers in high-threat situations domestically and internationally, with satellite operations in Beijing, Johannesburg and Abidjan. AT-RISK PI LLC has conducted and supported operations throughout Asia, Africa, Caribbean, Mexico, South America, Middle East, Europe and the U.S. With its global resources, AT-RISK PI LLC is ready to meet your maritime security and risk suppression needs. AT-RISK PI LLC is a premier training, security and investigative operations firm (www.atriskpi.com) headquartered in Northern VA, U.S.A.
