TRADITIONAL METHODS CREATE OPERATIONAL FRICTION
RAZOR WIRE
Inconsistent effectiveness and high maintainence.
OWNERSHIP BURDEN
Upfront cost, storage, inspection and disposal.
STORAGE CHALLENGES
Bulky equipment takes up valuable storage space onboard.
DEPLOYMENT INCONSISTANCIES
Variable installation quality across voyages/vessels.
DISPOSAL & ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Difficult and costly to remove and dispose of responsibly.

ENGINEERED SERVICE-BASED PROTECTION
NO OWNERSHIP BURDEN
Access and pay for protection only when you need it.
NO LONG-TERM ONBOARD STORAGE
We store the equipment - not you.
CONSISTANT, ENGINEERED PROTECTION
Designed for effectiveness and reliability.
CREW INSTALLED
No specialist teams required.
FLEXIBLE & SCALABLE
Deploy on one vessel or across an entire fleet.
HOW IT
WORKS
ENGINEERED ANTI-PIRACY PROTECTION
DESIGNED FOR COMMERCIAL FLEET OPERATIONS.
From vessel assessment to recovery, Paloemon anti-piracy
barriers are deployed to a structured operational process designed for high-risk maritime environments.

RECOVERY
We review vessel general arrangement drawings and operational requirements to determine the optimal barrier configuration and deployment plan.
Barriers are delivered globally
- to port or offshore - in line with your vessel schedule.
Crew install using simple tools
and our guidance.
Barriers remain deployed during high-risk transits, creating a continuous physical deterrent
without disrupting the vessel
operations or crew activities.
Barriers are removed at the end of the transit and returned to our network via port or offshore recovery for inspection, cleaning and redeployment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DEPLOYMENT
OPERATIONAL
Barriers can typically be delivered and deployed within 72 hours, depending on vessel schedule and regional availability.
No. Barriers are designed for installation by the onboard crew using standard ship equipment.
Installation time depends on vessel size and layout, but deployment is typically completed at approximately one minute per metre.
Yes. Equipment can be delivered alongside vessels at port or offshore locations, depending on operational requirements.
No. The system is designed to integrate into normal vessel operations without affecting navigation, cargo handling, or crew movement.
Yes — but operators can also off-hire and recover equipment when protection is no longer required.
Palaemon barriers are deployed across LNG carriers, tankers, container vessels, offshore vessels, and other commercial ship types.
The service model is designed for operational flexibility, allowing barriers to be recovered, redeployed, or repositioned as schedules evolve.
SECURITY
COMMERICAL MODEL
SECURITY
No. Barriers are available as a rental or service-based solution. Purchase options ARE available.
No. Operators can deploy barriers for single transits, rotating schedules, or fleet-wide programmes.
Palaemon operates through regional supply and return hubs, allowing equipment to be mobilised efficiently with minimal logistics burden on the operator.
In most cases, no. Because equipment is positioned strategically near major shipping routes and operational hubs, mobilisation costs are typically nominal compared to traditional ownership models. All logistics costs are made clear, with no hidden costs.
The system is designed to prevent unauthorised boarding attempts associated with maritime piracy and armed robbery.
The deployment approach supports vessel hardening measures consistent with BMP guidance and wider maritime security planning.
Traditional solutions such as razor wire can present operational, handling, and safety challenges. Engineered barriers provide a more consistent and scalable physical protection system.
