Our Floating Security Barrier designs and builds protection from a big, small, or fast marine vessels. Our Floating Barrier is an ideal solution for all maritime places needing security. Mavi Deniz offers three types of Floating Security Barriers; Port Security Barrier, Floating Demarcation Barrier, Boating Barrier, and Jet Ski Barrier, preventing sea threats. We develop the project to shape customer demands, include flexible and cost-efficient solutions, and avert terrorist attacks, especially high-speed boats.
Military Installations
The Need: After the terrorist attack, the Navy ordered the marine floating security barrier to establish a defense perimeter at naval bases worldwide.
What We Did:: The Harbor Offshore Barriers team installed and continues maintaining Navy barrier systems in continental Turkey, Guam, Hawaii, Japan, Iraq, Pakistan, Italy, and Spain. The Navy consistently rates Harbor Offshore Barriers’ performance as Excellent or Very Good, resulting in a bonus for 95% of 26 task orders from 2003 to 2015.
LNG, Oil Production, and Transportation Facilities
The Need: Offshore and coastal oil and gas facilities require significant construction and operational investment. Protecting these assets from malicious and destructive attacks by installing a marine floating security barrier shows investors and insurers that the operating owner is a credible business directly addressing high risks to operational stability. Technology driving the expansion of floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) and floating, storage, and re-gasification units (FSRU) alone increases the demand for meeting the highest marine floating security standards.
We Did: Harbor Offshore Barrier specialists use high-performance computer modeling to examine barrier reliability and efficiencies under simulated conditions to design an offshore system. These include sea and weather conditions, water depths, and wave action to replicate “real-world” engineering requirements.
Ports and Marinas
The Need: Port operations, whether for containerized, bulk, or break-bulk cargo, cruise ships, fishing vessels, and pleasure boats, occur in urban areas of the world’s cities. A visible floating fence must deter the threats of sabotage, theft, smuggling, and fatal explosions to keep out intruders while allowing vessel traffic operations to proceed as scheduled.
What We Did: While patrol vessels rapidly move to an area under threat, Harbor Offshore Barriers’ marine floating security systems are demarcation barriers beyond which no one should pass. They provide that extra security measures deter even the idea of attacking a vessel in a port or traffic channel while complementing marine patrols.
Nuclear Power Plant
The Need: Government agencies are required on-lake nuclear power plant owners to install underwater barriers to prevent access to intake pipes.
We Did: Harbor Offshore Barriers’ site visit team determined that the lake’s bottom and environmental conditions required a customized 152 m structure. The system included a single 30.5 m bridge span unit and a gate. The client found that we were the only company that could meet their nuclear power plant requirements.
Dams
The Need: The government has found that protecting dams from domestic and foreign terrorist attacks is in the public’s interest. An attack would cause massive flooding, loss of life and property, and destroy hydroelectric power facilities.
Swimming Areas
Barriers physically keep vessels, boats, and jet skis out by providing a ‘fence’ above the water. Float lines delineate visually, and buoys provide signage to deter entry. Buoys used to exclude boating from an area should be sufficient in number to create the impression of a boundary over which boats should not pass. Buoys are all moored in a reasonably recognizable boundary line.
What We Did: The Bureau of Reclamation engaged Harbor Offshore Barriers to install coastal barrier systems for several dams and waterways. Our project manager successfully designed and executed a logistics strategy for transporting significant components and equipment to remote locations.
Maritime power is primarily a defense policy requirement; however, no economy can survive without international trade support and the centuries in today’s global world. Sea transport constitutes the dominant business network; protecting these routes and bases and harbors in the main stops prioritizes all states. Therefore, within security strategies shaped with the “a better and safer world” slogan, the first recurred thing becomes terrorism. Preventing this threat increases the importance of sea security and this context for base-harbor defense.
Physically keep vessels away.
The targets for these new types of threats include:
- Military Installations
- Offshore crude oil and natural gas terminals
- Nuclear facilities
- Desalination plants
- Port facilities for cargo vessels
- Port facilities for cruise ships
- Dams of hydroelectric power plants
- Swimming Areas
