Hostile Water Training for the Private Mariner
A hostage situation is one of the most harrowing experiences an individual will go through. The dangers of physical injury, psychological stress and emotional trauma can endure for years after the hostage situation has ended.
Taking hostages has a long history as a method of securing concessions from individuals, organisations and governments. More recently it has become a popular tactic amongst terrorist organisations targeting both the individual and commerce alike.
Awareness of risks, identification of threats and practical common sense precautions can make a huge difference to the safety of the private mariner whether it be the individual or captain and crew.
The Blue Mountain Group provides a two day awareness course for yacht owners and crew alike.
These seminars provide you with the knowledge and the know how to mitigate potential attacks on your vessel, yourself and the crew.
