Service Highlights
Enhanced protection against pirate attacks<br />
With crew safety paramount in the minds of owners and operators, citadel protection offers a tried and tested security concept to safeguard<br />
personnel in case of a pirate attack. Sandwich Plate System (<strong>SPS</strong>) is the ideal means to reinforce ship citadels and deter a sustained attack by<br />
the most determined hijacker trying to gain access.<br />
<strong>SPS</strong> is a structural composite material made up of two metal plates bonded with a polyurethane elastomer core to deliver high strength,<br />
superb impact resistance and enhanced rigidity as a robust alternative to conventional stiffened steel structures. It is used in a wide variety of<br />
products including structural flooring, stadia and arena terraces, blast enclosures, ships, offshore structures and bridges.<br />
Strengthened <strong>Citadel</strong> <strong>Protection</strong><br />
Installing <strong>SPS</strong> <strong>Citadel</strong> <strong>Access</strong> <strong>Protection</strong> to entrances of designated ships’ citadels,<br />
owners and operators significantly enhance the security for their crew. The protective<br />
panels form a formidable final barrier to delay pirates while the crew maintain<br />
command and control of the vessel until outside help arrives.<br />
Installation Process<br />
<strong>SPS</strong> <strong>Citadel</strong> <strong>Access</strong> <strong>Protection</strong> panels, typically installed 125mm inside the doorway to<br />
the safe refuge, delay and deter entry to pirates and can be installed on new-builds<br />
or retro-fitted to existing vessels.<br />
Made up of a solid steel frame, <strong>SPS</strong> panels and clamps the installation is simple. The<br />
frame, constructed from standard steel profiles, is fully welded around the existing<br />
doorway and the <strong>SPS</strong> panels are then secured against the frame using specially<br />
designed clamps. The barrier may be constructed from a single hinged <strong>SPS</strong> door or<br />
interlocking <strong>SPS</strong> panels. The panels slot into position and are secured by tightening<br />
tommy screws in the clamps.<br />
When closed, the <strong>SPS</strong> barrier creates a detail free surface that can be rapidly deployed<br />
within 90 seconds. The panels create an extremely strong barrier that can withstand<br />
far higher impact loads than equivalent steel structures. Its triple-barrier protection<br />
is superior to standard steel water-tight doors and offers excellent protection against<br />
ballistics and shrapnel damage. European Standard FB6 ballistic compliant panels<br />
constructed from hardened steel are also available.<br />
