Nemesis Boarding Deterrent
The Nemesis 5000 machine is a high pressure vessel boarding deterrent and is driven by seawater at pressures of between 3.5 and 5 bar from the vessel’s fire water system. Installation does not require any class approval as it does not affect the design or operation of the fire system.
The system works by producing high pressure water jets which, when multiple machines are used, creates a moving curtain of water around the ship. The machine is designed to only send water below the horizontal, this ensures the best use of available water. Machines are mounted over the side of the ship either from the hand rail or the fish plate, approximately 20m apart around the vessel.
