Use of Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel (PCASP)
Industry Guidance on the Construction and Use of Citadels
EUNAVFOR are still concerned that a large number of vessels are not following Best Management Practices when transiting high risk areas, and in particular not registering with the authorities. We would suggest that the relevant parts of BMP 4 for individual ships are incorporated into the Ship Security Plan, and that owners take into account the guidance offered in MSC.1/Circ 1334 on preventing and suppressing acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships and MSC.1/Circ.1390 on preparation of a company and crew for the contingency of hijack by pirates in the western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden.
Further advice and information about registration can be found on the websites of the Maritime Security Centre Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) and NATO's Counter Piracy Operation Ocean Shield.
