Anti-pirate system for ships

Abstract

An anti-pirate system for ships mainly comprises a water heater, a water pipe, a valve and a spray nozzle. The water heater can provide scalding hot water; the spray nozzle is arranged at or near the joint of an upper deck and a rubbing strake or fixed outside the rubbing strake and can spray the hot water overboard; the water pipe is used for transporting the hot water to the spray nozzle; and the valve is in charge of control of close and open of hot water flow. The anti-pirate system does not work at ordinary times after being installed on broad, the valve is opened to cause the hot water to be sprayed overboard from the spray nozzle when seeing that pirate ships are approaching, and the sprayed hot water (6) forms a daunting 'protective screen'. Pirates dare not to approach the ship with fear of being hurt by the hot water (6), thereby being unable to board. The system of the invention has low cost and simple installation without undesirable impact on performance and function of the body of ships. Most important of all, the system can get anti-pirate effect instantly without violating relevant international laws. A merchant ship and a civil ship, after applying the invention, can effectively prevent boarding and hijacking of pirates and protect the ships and crew.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a ship anti-piracy system, in particular to a system for preventing pirates from boarding a ship. Background technique [0002] In recent years, piracy activities have become increasingly rampant, and the success rate of pirates robbing ships is also high, which has caused considerable impact on maritime transportation in various countries. Due to relevant international laws, merchant ships cannot possess and use weapons, which has caused merchant ships and civilian ships to be unable to effectively prevent pirates from boarding ships because they do not have reliable anti-piracy facilities. In front of well-equipped pirates, an unarmed merchant ship is like a lamb that has been slaughtered arbitrarily, without the ability to defend itself. Therefore, when merchant ships sail in dangerous seas, they must rely on naval warships to escort them for safety, and the cost of relying on warships to escort them is too high, and the sh...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In order to solve the problem that existing merchant ships and civilian ships (especially large-tonnage ships) have no ability to prevent pirates from boarding, the purpose of the present invention is to prevent pirates from boarding and robbing by setting anti-piracy (anti-piracy) systems on ships. behavior of the ship, thereby protecting the safety of the ship and the life safety of the crew
