Product Overview
- 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.

- Offshore installations/platforms with security personnel conducting external inspections, vessel-berthing or transfers.
- 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.
