A recognised training for armed guards
A recognised training for armed guards
How can a shipping company with ships bound for piracy infested areas be sure that any armed guards that are placed on their ships are properly trained?
There is no shortage of tempting offers flashing into the e-mail boxes, from firms offering “former special forces” teams for hazardous passages, usually accompanied by a tariff. Few, on the other hand, will emphasise any qualifications their operatives might have earned, the assumption being that their military training will be sufficient to equip them for their role as a maritime security operative on a merchant ship. Such an assumption is incorrect, suggests Ray Quarrie of the security training company 3rg, which provides a range of security training from its base in Poole, which seems to have become something of a “hub” for marine security in the UK. Formerly a Royal Marine and long-serving member of the elite Special Boat Service, he believes that while the military provides core skills and the right background for the maritime security operative, additional training is very necessary before such people can be introduced into the unfamiliar world of the merchant vessel. The trainees go through background checks provided by Sterling Check before joining the training and then one more where they will provide their services.
