The oceans have always been our main channel for shipping goods between countries. At any one time there can be billions of dollars of cargo at sea. For as long as we have been trading by sea pirates and piracy have always been a problem, a problem that still exists today and one that has recently attracted the attention on the world. Hijacking, ransom and, in some cases, physical assult have become common place once again. Our crews and their cargo are now facing a modern day, well armed pirate and in certain regions of our vast oceans constantly in fear of attack.

As the worlds leading manufacturer of tank cleaning equipment Scanjet has over the years established a strong bond with our marine customers. We have listened to their wishes and demands and built our equipment to suit. There is no other company with a better understanding of water jet technology than us. We have been using water jet technology to clean some of the toughest tanks in the harshest environments for decades, so when we were approached to see if we could adapt our existing technology to be used in the line of defence against the modern day pirate, we were more than prepared to accept the challenge.
