Hello:

I am conducting research for a master's level research paper on anti-piracy/maritime terrorism and I would like to be able to interview someone via email.

I know that there are a number of UK companies out there involved in counter-piracy off the horn of Africa. I was hoping one of you might be available for an email interview over the few days/week.

If anyone has significant and up to date experience on countering maritime terrorism/piracy and would be available, please let me know.

Thank you,

Ronin

Hi mate,

I've been up and down the Malacca Straits on quite a few occasions escorting vulnerable shipping. Also worked offshore in Nigeria last year. Feel free to give me a shout if you think I could assist. You could also try security-maritime at yahoo groups.

Steve.

Hi Ray,

Check out the thread on Maritime training. If you are UK based then give IMSA a shout, they will give you good advice. With regards to getting the work, same as CP/PSD mate, network, network, network.

Sorry, me being stupid; I meant who/what is the IMSA. Maritime side is very new to me, but holds interests.

Go to the maritime training thread mate, and all should become evident.

Maritime Security Courses

Hope that helps.
