Vessel Patrol Operations

Vessel patrol operations involve monitoring and ensuring the security and safety of ships in ports, waterways, and open seas. Teams use various methods, including surveillance, physical inspections, and communication with crew members, to detect and prevent illegal activities like smuggling or piracy. These operations are crucial for protecting maritime assets, ensuring the safe passage of vessels, and maintaining adherence to laws and regulations. They typically involve coordination among government agencies, private security firms, and maritime authorities to effectively manage risks in busy marine environments.
