Hello all, new to the forums here. I’m glad to see like minded individuals thinking about dealing with this issue together.
first I want to say, that I dont have formal security training in the maritime area, my security expertise is closed protection and transportation of people. I do have a skill set that ranges from paramedicine to combat operations to more clandestine oreinted avenues.
I would like to apply my self to something a little larger then protecting the top 20% of society. I see the need for these counter piracy companies, and I see the risk, not only to life and economies, but to the enviroment. This is why I feel that I should be involving my skill set and abilities to this cause. The thing is that I am finding, every one and their dog has starting a security business for this cause, and its getting saturated with bullocks, ego and secrecy. Not to mention that there is no one to train, licence and regulate this new industry.
My wonder is: what do I need to possess to be able to offer my services?
what do I need to learn or demonstrate so that I can work on these vessels. As a temporary crew member or security officer/specialist.
Any imput is welcome.
