High-protection ballistic vest designed for marine and vessel security, anti-piracy and high-risk deployments.
Listed under the “Anti Piracy / Security” category of SeaonBag’s product range.
Intended to provide wearable torso protection for crew members, security personnel or boarding teams operating in hostile environments.
Key Features
Ballistic-rated protection: Designed to defeat handgun rounds or fragmentation threats typical in maritime piracy scenarios (exact rating to be confirmed).
Full-torso coverage: Covers vital organs, front and back, and likely includes side panels for additional protection.
Adjustable fit: Velcro or strap closures allow the vest to be fitted securely to different body sizes/frames for optimal protective coverage.
Durable build for marine use: Designed for harsh maritime & offshore conditions—salt spray, high humidity, motion/vibration, tight spaces.
Recognised security gear: Fits into marine security protocols as part of a layering of deterrents and defensive equipment.
Benefits of Use
Provides a visible security enhancement, signalling that the vessel or installation is prepared and protected, enhancing deterrence.
Offers functional protection for personnel in transit through piracy-prone areas or boarding/inspection operations—reducing risk of injury or casualty.
Integrates into a broader security approach (watch-keeping, surveillance, barriers, look-outs), rather than replacing other measures.
Relatively low maintenance compared with full armour systems; wearable and ready for deployment with minimum additional kit.
Enhances confidence of crew/security operatives, which can contribute positively to overall security posture.

Private maritime security contractors or boarding teams requiring lightweight protective wear in dynamic conditions.
Any high-risk transit, crew-transfer or vessel mooring/anchoring scenarios where ballistic protection for personnel is required.
Additional Notes & Advice
This vest should be used as part of a layered security system; it is not a standalone solution for all threats. Personnel protection must be supplemented by watch-keeping, training, clear protocols and physical barriers.
Confirm the ballistic rating (for example, whether it is rated to stop 9mm FMJ, .44 Magnum, fragmentation) and ensure it meets your risk model for the vessel/region. Reference materials on body-armor explain the different protection levels.
Fit is critical: ensure the vest covers torso and vital organs without restricting mobility; conduct sizing trials for all personnel.
Maintenance & inspection: Because of maritime conditions, inspect seams, closures, panels regularly for corrosion, damage or wear; maintain a service/inspection log.
Storage and readiness: Store the vest in a protected, dry environment when not in use; ensure it is accessible in rapid-deployment scenarios.
Training: Personnel should be briefed on correct wear, adjustment, donning/doffing in case of emergency, and what to do in a ballistic incident or breach scenario.
