Marine Armor System

Marine Armor System (MAS) is specialized in Ship Hardening and Maritime Security Systems by protecting ships, oil rigs, vessels or yachts from piracy attacks. MAS is an innovative non-lethal protection maritime security system based on ballistic blinds which protects vessels and rigs against pirate attacks and other potential threats such as armed robbery, terrorism and acts of sabotage. As manufacturer, supply and install MAS security hardening products for ships and yachts worldwide, providing ballistic protection to the crew and assets. Following the IMO recommendations on the issue of pirate boarding, MAS system is also designed to create citadels or safe rooms on board, to protect your crew with a bullet-proof barrier.

This model is recommended to block access to the inside of the vessel and to protect the cargo and restricted areas, but is not suitable to create safe rooms or citadels to protect the members of the crew.

In accordance with the European Standards UNE-EN 1627:2011 and UNE-EN 1522:1999 MAS offer different security and armor levels. MAS qualified surveyors together with the ship’s security officers will do a risk assessment of each vessel to determine what level of protection is best for each area and will submit a report with a security hardening proposal, considering itinerary, schedule, threat level and other existing self-protection measures on the ship.

This model provides high protection against heavy military weapons, like the M16 or AK-47 (Kalashnikov), the most frequently weapon used by African pirates. Kriptonia 100 is recommended to block accesses to the inside of the vessel and the bridge as it is suitable to create a bunker or citadel to protect the crew in the event of armed pirate attack.

It is recommended to protect the cargo and restricted areas inside the ship or oil rig, such as the radio room, battery room, machinery, etc, but NEVER to protect the crew.

This solution increases degree of protection on the bridge against RPG7 attacks or similar and it consists of a double protection created with a high-strength settle wire mesh that prevents the triggering of the shaped charge and development of the plasma jet, minimizing the impact on the armor protection placed on the perimeter of the bridge.
