We provide all aspects of Maritime Security solutions including armed anti-piracy missions, training and crew safety.  We work with the leading shipping and insurance companies in the Indian Ocean and specialise in the needs of Oil and Gas, Sub Sea Construction, Survey and Cable Laying Operations.

Our teams of highly trained and qualified Maritime Security Specialists are handpicked in New Zealand for their experience and professionalism, and deployed to meet your needs, where and when you need them.

We specialise in Piracy Suppression within the Indian Ocean, however, our Teams are able to be deployed anywhere protection of shipping is needed.

Other areas of expertise include the assessment and delivery of vessel ‘hardening’ techniques to provide protection during transit through hostile seas, armed Piracy Suppression Missions and crew training with vessel readiness for transit without a Security Team.

We also have vast experience in the area of Electronic Surveillance Systems including CCTV (including thermal imaging and I/R), Access Control, Alarm Systems, as well as monitored electrified barriers, with access to the most advanced systems available.

At Barantas, we lead the way in setting the standards in the industry and will not compromise on quality of service, safety and security.

We understand and comply with International Shipping Laws and country regulations, and meet and exceed all international security guidelines. Our resources and logistics in support of our operations are of the highest order to ensure our target of Quality Service Assurance is achieved every time and we do not impede your normal course of business.
