With this service GoAGT provides an armed team of 4 men, all of whom are ex-military personnel. The team consists of 1 Team Leader and 3 Team Members, all of our personnel are english speaking. The team have extensive experience in dealing with Somali pirates and are hand-picked for these operations in addition to being armed with long range rifles. They follow strict rules of engagement as devised and directed by GoAGT. Armed teams are embarked/disembarked at Outer Port Limits.

The master’s responsibilities when on passage through the Gulf of Aden or Indian Ocean are immense and his crew rely on his authority and experience to ensure they get to their destination safely. Not all masters are security experts and not all masters are entirely comfortable transiting the region, so our Ship Support Service is the perfect antidote to make the master feel confident and supported. 
We provide advice on enhancing Best Management Practise and effective countermeasures, we provide expert advice on Citadels and procedures for their use, and we deliver daily telephone support and intelligence for vessels transiting or anchoring in high risk piracy areas.

The Propeller Arresters have been developed as an integral component of a layered defence system advocated by MMWC but unlike traditional countermeasures used in this method, their onboard deployment creates an on-water impenetrable security perimeter around a vessel. When crossed, the Propeller Arrester causes failure of the attacking vessel’s propulsion; rendering it disabled and no longer a threat.
