Commercial shipping needed an effective way of protecting their crews, ships and cargo from pirates hijacking and kidnapping them. Anti-piracy barriers are traditionally really good but they are just too expensive to buy and always raised the question of who should pay for them, the owner or the charterer? And where do you store them afterwards? Razor wire is cheap but everyone knows that it's really not that effective right? Palaemon was set up with one goal; to protect sailors by making the best safety equipment available and affordable. We do that by renting our super-effecrtive, quick and easy to instal anti-piracy barriers available to rent for as long (or short) a time that you need them. No huge investment, no difficult storage, just the best equipment for the job and only when you need it.
