Guardian anti-piracy barriers provide a physical barrier that has been proven to disable pirates from boarding maritime vessels. As of yet, no vessel protected by Guardian anti-piracy barriers has ever been attacked by pirates. Once installed by your crew, Guardian anti-piracy barriers can remain permanently in place, providing 24/7 protection that requires no human intervention to maintain. Guardian anti-piracy barriers last 8 years once installed, so your crew can operate without fear of pirate attacks during this time. Once you have bought your barriers, there are no costs associated with maintaining them.
