An anti-piracy system for a waterborne vessel comprises of a netting barrier 2 and 3 arranged to a plurality of sides of the vessel. The netting barrier in use extends from the sides of the vessel on booms 1 and the booms are provided with a means of extending horizontally and vertically from the vessel to prevent boarding. The booms may be extendable from the vessel independently from the netting barrier and the netting barrier may extend along the booms in use. The system may be deployed in a two-step process in which firstly the booms are extended from a storage housing and secondly the netting barrier is extended along the extended booms. Such extension may be manually or electrically driven, or capable of both manual and electric driving so as to allow for extension with no electricity present. Extension may comprise at least one winder mechanism |
