■ Introduction
PSJ1008 is an innovative water-jet system which defends the vessel against forced
boarding by the pirates. It consists of two water jet guns mounted on the shipside,
rotating 90 degrees and continuously shooting a high pressure stream of water.
It can be installed on all kind of vessels and is especially suitable for oil, chemical,
LPG and LNG ships as it is intrinsically safe.
PSJ1008 is easy to install and operate, because it uses the existing facilities of fire
fighting pumps, pipelines and hoses. Therefore no additional installation is required
onboard the vessel. However, special hoses can be supplied for the machine on
demand.
TANKTECH, has various series for PSJ1008 and the machine can be customized
according to the need of the customers. In an effort to help better understand the
machine’s installation, operation and effect we can provide a video.

by pirates almost impossible. The system can be operated for an indefinite amount
257 of time and can be started from a safe location within the accommodation.
