Transit Vessel Protection Teams (VPT)

Teams can be deployed both armed and unarmed while the vessel is transiting through high risk waters. Our teams will conduct crew training, deployment of ship’s passive defense measures, and conduct 24/7 anti piracy watch during the transit.

Static Offshore Facility Protection

This service is offered to the oil and gas industry to provide a flexible and layered approach encompassing: static marine facilities, supply vessel movements, security escort vessels, VPT teams, trained coxswains, and vessel hardening.

Ravenhill can coordinate with host government naval forces to provide both armed and unarmed personnel.
