Following a long and distinguished operational career specialising in maritime counter terrorism amongst the ranks of British SBS, Peter King has compiled MARITIME ANTI-PIRACY, THE CAPTAIN’S GUIDEBOOK; the first fully-comprehensive and highly specific 394-page A4 solution to being potentially ill-prepared for the very real risk of high-jacking by pirates.
The book contains an extensive degree of information in text, illustration, chart and diagram format; it is simple to follow regardless of one’s literacy in the English language. Within the writing, Peter King also addresses in-depth the controversial debate, benefit and disadvantage of retaining Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel (PCASP) on board ships and the reasons behind shipping industry application of PCASP as of late 2011.
