DESCRIPTION

A portable security room

The present invention relates generally to a security room and a method of assembling a security room and particular, but not exclusive, findings useful for providing a security room in merchant ships.

The last pirate, which has been under way in one way or another for centuries, is now showing a rebirth in public perception with catches of large ships and / or its crews becoming frequent news. On the other hand, the rescue levels that have been paid by insurance companies and shipping companies are increasing. This aggressive expeditionary piraterla is not only a topic on the shores of Somalia and the Horn of Africa, but also occurs to a lesser extent, on the west coast of Africa (Nigeria), Latin America (including the Caribbean) and the seas of the southern China (Strait of Malacca).

Recent successful attacks include the MV Sirius Star, a 330-meter long Saudi-owned tanker that carried about £ 66 million in oil, which was finally released after its owners paid a reputed rescue of $ 17 million. £.

There has been a large-scale shipment and the security industry's response to this piracy problem. This response includes preventive measures, such as armed (and unarmed) custody, laser glare systems, acoustic devices and ship modifications, along with activities such as post-capture behavior training for crews and boarding services. rescue negotiation.

By comparing studies of kidnapping cases that go back for several years, it is clear that, although there is no approach to counteract the problem that is infallible, or indeed without risk, once the pirates have successfully addressed the The only technical vessel that has proven to be systematically successful for the crew is to shut down the main engines and retreat to a safe area or "Fortress" where they can wait for the possible arrival of the maritime security forces (normally 1-7 hours in the corridor of internationally recognized safe transit (Horn of Africa).

For example, the German heavy-duty ship Beluga Fortuna, a ship with a deadweight of 12,744 tons, was apparently boarded by pirates about 1,200 nautical miles off the coast of Kenya on October 24, 2010. However, the pirates They were apparently unable to navigate the ship to the African coast, because the engine and shelter feeding systems had been closed by the ship's crew, who were hiding in a fortress room. The attackers fled when the British frigate HMS Montrose arrived on the scene.

Another German Vessel, the MV Magellan Star, was attacked and boarded in September 2010. Once again the crew managed to isolate itself within a safe part of the ship and await the arrival of the security forces.

Although there is some evidence that the use of fortresses or security rooms is successful, there are issues faced by transport companies, such as the cost and time needed. For example, it usually takes about 4-5 days to install and then requires an evaluation by a maritime architect. The actual cost of the modifications is not the only factor, however, since the charges related to berthing and the loss of income must also be taken into account. It is understood that generally operating a super oil tanker costs between US $ 45,000-60,000 per day.

DE20315249U1 describes a type of reinforced air shelter. WO0123261 describes a method of using modules with containers. WO03080966, WO2008150174 and DE102004018368A1 describe various ways in which the reinforcement can be added to a transport container. DE202007008313U1 describes an extensible fortress inside an extensible security room container. US2008196329A1 describes a mine shelter for use in underground mines. However, none of these documents reveals ways to provide a relatively cheap, portable security room for use on ships.

Consequently, there is a need for a much easier, faster and less expensive way of providing a safety room on a ship.

In this sense, although the description refers to a ship the concept is transferable to other environments and places such as remote oil facilities, gas and mining on land or at sea.

In a first aspect, the invention provides a portable security room, comprising an ISO standard transport container, the container having a shield plate located substantially adjacent to its inner wall, the container that includes a fortress located inside the interior. armor plate, the fortress includes means of communication to communicate with remote locations, and water storage means, the security room includes air conditioning equipment to provide air conditioning inside the fortress.

In this sense, a standard High Cube ISO container has a standardized width of 2.4 m, a standardized height of 2,695 m and a selectable length of 6.1, 12, 14, 15, or 16 m, although there are other dimensions for standard ISO containers. The ISO container can be known as an equivalent twenty foot unit or "TEU".

The container may be camouflaged since it appears from the outside to be a regular cargo container so that when stacked among other containers it is difficult to know in which container the crew can be hidden.

Alternatively, the container may be deliberately marked so that it is immediately recognizable as a security room. This can be useful to prevent injuries to the crew in the security room, if the ship is attacked by anti-pirate agencies. In addition, it can have a deterrent effect on which pirates can consciously avoid ships that have a safety room, since they know it will cause them problems.

In one embodiment, the invention provides a security room or strength to be at least partially manufactured or assembled, before being inserted into a container. This allows greater freedom in the design of the security room and / or strength, such as the quantity, location and characteristics of the armor plate, and in the provision of equipment such as communication and air treatment. It also allows the fort to move from one container to another if necessary. Another advantage is that the integrity of the fortress can be determined and / or tested before being inserted into a container thus avoiding! Any damage to the container.

The container and the shield plate can include a first ventilation duct for communication with the air conditioning equipment, an additional piece of shield plate is provided within the first ventilation duct, the additional piece that includes a second ventilation duct out of phase with respect to the first ventilation duct to avoid the direct line of sight through said first and second ventilation ducts. In this way, the bullets cannot be fired through the first ventilation duct thus damaging! the air conditioning equipment and / or any other equipment or personnel inside the container.

The first and / or second ventilation ducts may be provided by one or more holes. The holes can be provided on the shield plate.

A fan can be provided between the shield plate and the additional piece of shield plate. This can prevent air stagnation in the gap between them to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of air conditioning equipment.

The shield plate around the interior of the side walls can be arranged immediately adjacent to the walls. It has been found that if a space is provided between the armor plate and the container wall a bullet of a high-speed rifle (especially one fired from an AK47 - 7.62 mm x 39 mm) can be stripped of its outer copper layer through the wall of the container without any substantial loss of speed which allows the narrower bullet to pass through the armor plate.

However, because the wall of the container is often undulated there will be some spaces between it and the armor plate. The separation effect has been found to occur only rarely and with strict conditions, such as temperature, thickness of the container wall and most importantly the angle of attack on the container wall. In one embodiment, material will be inserted into these spaces. The material can be fixed to the inner surface of the container wall at these points. Such materials include ceramics, gravel, plate, tubes and rods, possibly of steel, resin and ace! successively. Any one or more of these materials can cause bullet deflection or deformation which prevents their penetration through the shield plate.

The armor plate can be held in place by a framework that includes clamps. This eliminates the need for expensive welding and can weaken the armor plate. According to the above, in one embodiment, the shield plate does not include any direct welding.

Another benefit observed is that when the containers are lifted (or hung up), some minor torsion and deformation is possible, with welded plates there is not enough movement to flex and cracking of the welds or the edges of the plate can occur. This problem is not experienced when the plates are held because they have the capacity to move fractionally as the weight of the container is experienced.

The security room may also include a shield plate arranged below, and separated from the top of the container. A space can be provided between the shield plate and the container to promote ventilation as will be discussed later.

The upper parts of the containers usually have thinner steel (1.5 mm) than the walls and it has been found that the separation effect discussed above does not occur and therefore the need for not having a space between the container and the shield plate is decreased.

The container may include doors at one end thereof and a door with the armor plate is immediately disposed within said doors. The container doors can be the standard ones supplied with such containers. The shield plate door can be a sliding door.

A vestibule can be arranged between the container and the fortress, inside the door with the armor plate, and at least some of the air conditioning equipment can be located inside said vestibule.

This lobby can be useful in the camouflage of the fortress in which the merchandise can be stacked in the lobby so that if the container is opened it appears to be a regular cargo container. Other uses for the lobby are also possible.

The fortress may include a hermetic door that can be opened outwards only. The door can be opened outwards in the hall.

The security room may also include a first layer of insulation provided between the fortress and the armor plate.

The first insulation layer may include an acoustic insulation layer and a heat insulation layer. The acoustic insulation layer may include a rubber layer. This can be 5 mm thick. It can also include a 25mm dense acoustic foam of class "O". The heat insulation layer may be a "O" class sheet.

The first insulation layer may not be structural in that it does not provide any structural integrity to the security room or any significant reinforcement.

An air gap may be provided between the first insulation layer and the shield plate.

The fortress may include a second layer of insulation adjacent to its inner wall. For example, a 50 mm insulation board such as the Kingspan (RTM).

The fortress may include a gable roof. This can help direct any condensation dripping from the underside of the upper part of the container below the fortress. This can avoid stagnant water and therefore the elimination of bacterial hatcheries.

The security room may also include an electrical supply. The electrical supply may be a generator, such as a gasoline or diesel generator, and / or batteries. In one embodiment, the batteries are the primary source of electrical energy, being assisted or replaced by the generator as necessary. A means to connect the security room to another source of electric power can also be provided. For example, a cable can be provided to connect to the electrical network of a ship. Batteries can provide a minimum period of 8 hours of quiet operation before the generator is required. The acoustic layers described above can help prevent noise such as a generator coming out of the container and therefore reducing the risk of being discovered among other containers.

The generator can be arranged essentially inside the lobby. This can reduce the effects, such as gases, noise and heat emanating from it, on personnel within the fort.

The fortress may include ventilation ducts. These may be located at the low and / or high points within it to promote ventilation.

The container may also include ventilation ducts. The air can then circulate between the fortress, the inside of the container and the outside of the container.

The shield plate disposed in the upper part of the container may include a ventilation duct and an additional piece of shield plate may be disposed separately from said vent duct to avoid the direct line of sight through said vent duct. For example, the additional part of the shield can be placed 20 to 25 mm directly below the vent in the shield and can be larger than the vent.

The fortress can be ventilated by a passive stack ventilation system. This is where the air inside the fortress, is heated by its inhabitants, rises and leaves the fortress from the top, the fresh air being sucked through ventilation ducts at the base of the fortress. Because the container includes ventilation ducts to the upper ends of the side walls, air can flow through the container through the top of the fortress. This air flow can drag hot air upward from within the fortress and take it out.

The shield plate may be of the type that is substantially bulletproof. In this regard, it may be able to stop the penetration of bullets fired from an AK-47 Kalashnikov (7.62 mm x 39 mm) or similar type assault weapons including those that fire 7.62 x 51 NATO bullets. The characteristics of the armor plate may vary as necessary. The ballstico standard for the plate can be the EN1063 standards with (7.62 x 51 mm of 5 bullet cartridge). The steel plates can be any of the EN1063 standards.

The security room of any preceding claim, wherein the fortress includes means for sliding in the container. Such means may include a stowage below. The stowage can take any shape and can have armor plate. The fortress can be lifted and / or assembled on the cargo stowage to facilitate transport. In this regard, the stowage may include slides, and / or rollers, to slide the fortress into the container after it has been equipped with the armor plate, and / or the lifting of fixing means for the elevation of the fortress. With a crane. Another possibility is the provision of external grooves for the accommodation of spikes, of the type used with telescopic handlers and forklifts, so that the strength is insertable in a standard ISO shipping container with relative ease.

The security room may also include means to effect the tightness of the strength seal. The security room may include means for providing a substantially hermetic chamber within the Security room and / or seal strength.

The fortress may include underground storage located between a base liner and the base of the ISO shipping container. This storage can take the form of the container or empty spaces, possibly with a lock.

20 The security room may include storage in the wall to the outside of a side wall of the fortress. In other words, empty spaces and / or cabinets can be provided in the space between the side wall and the insulation and / or the surface of the inner wall of the container.

The security room may include treatment means to treat the air inside, and / or entrance, to the security room.

The treatment means may include one or more carbon dioxide treatment means to eliminate or reduce the presence of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide treatment means for the elimination or reduction of the presence of carbon monoxide, means of Humidity treatment to control air humidity, and temperature treatment means to control air temperature. The treatment means may contain a filter system to purify the incoming air and for the reduction or elimination of potentially harmful gases, fumes or stinging (pain caused by gases) such as CS gas.

Modifications to the container may be necessary to allow some of these means to operate correctly. For example, specialized ventilation ducts may be necessary.

The carbon dioxide treatment means may include a carbon dioxide absorption system based on lithium hydroxide or soda lime absorbed CO2 material. The carbon dioxide treatment means may include a carbon dioxide washing system of the type found in hyperbaric recompression chambers.

The security room may also include a reserve of oxygen, oxygen enriched air or pressurized air.

Sealing means for doors can be included as rubber seals to ensure air tightness. Any door can be armor plate.

40 The security room may also include a second access / exit point. This can be located at one end of the security room in front of the container doors, or it could be on another wall, the floor, or ceiling. Appropriate holes, if necessary, can be made in the container to allow access through it as necessary. If a hole is made in the upper part of a container and the second access / exit is in the upper part of the fortress adjacent to this hole then the personnel can escape through this second access / egress point if necessary . This would only be possible even though there is nothing at the top of the second access / exit point, such as another container, or if a corresponding hole has been made in the top container to allow access to it. In one embodiment, therefore, the invention contemplates interconnected containers / security room.

A layer of condensation reducing paint can be provided at the bottom of the top of the container. This can be a Grafo-Therm (RTM) product.

The media can be arranged to receive images and sounds from remote monitors and / or external to the security room.

The security room may include control means to control certain aspects of remote installations. The remote installation can be a ship or offshore installation.

The control means may include drive control means to prevent the engine (s) from driving the ship.

The control means may include direction control means to prevent the ship's direction means from governing the ship.

The security room may include GPS means to provide the location of the security room.

The security room may include one or more letters / maps, medical supplies, food, sanitary facilities, batteries, hammock and electricity.

The security room may include remote monitoring equipment to monitor an area outside the security room.

In a second aspect, the invention provides a method of assembling a security room comprising the steps of: providing an ISO shipping container; lift an inner frame of said container and use it to hold the shield plate in its essentially adjacent place on three of the four side walls and the top of said container; providing a fortress; sliding said fortress into said container; arranging the shield plate on said fourth wall; and arrange the sliding doors inside said container doors.

The step of the method of inserting the strength into the container can be affected by the use of a forklift or telescopic handler.

The method may further comprise the step of installing in the security room any of one or more of the air treatment means, an oxygen reserve, oxygen enriched air or pressurized air, a first access / egress point sealed with a hermetic door, a second access / exit point, means of communication for communication with remote locations, control means for controlling certain aspects of a ship over / inside the security room when it is in use, by GPS, letters / maps, medical supplies, food, water, sanitary services, lighting and an electricity supply, and remote monitoring equipment to monitor an area outside the security room.

In a third aspect, the invention provides an air conditioning system for a portable security room that includes a bulletproof ventilation duct. The characteristics of this can be discerned from the description in this document.

The security room may include a frame that has a means of joining the shield plate to which the shield plate is attachable. The frame can be placed on the floor of the container. The frame may be made of mild steel or aluminum although other materials are contemplated. The elements of the frame can be square and / or round in cross section. Other forms such as "I" or RHS beams are contemplated. The fixing means of the shield plate can be in the form of clamps or other protruding elements outwardly from the frame, the shield plate will be placed by these clamps and will be held in place against the container walls. The plates can support each other.

In one embodiment, the fortress is constructed in a modular manner that has standard lengths of frame elements that can be assembled to create one of several strengths of standard size. For example, the final strength may comprise two smaller units.

The shield plate can also comprise standard size panels. For example, the panels can be approximately 8 'x 4' in size and can be 5 mm thick. They can be 300 mm wide. Other thicknesses are contemplated such as 6 mm and 6.5 mm. The plate can be made of steel and can have at least 500 Brinell hardness. This may allow the use of industrial wear plate instead of ballstico steel and may help reduce its price. Although undesirable in one embodiment, the plates may be welded together so that they are extremely difficult to remove the plates from outside the safe room when in place within a container.

To reduce the cost of the security room, the armor plate can only be arranged along one of the walls exposed to the outside, the other walls, floor and ceiling are protected by other containers and / or part of the structure of the vessel.

The security room may include heat-resistant material located outside the fortress to substantially avoid or hinder the use of cutting equipment to cut through the walls of the container / roof / floor, thus providing! greater protection for the occupants of the security room. You can also provide a

fire protection In one embodiment, a jacket full of water is provided between the armor and the fortress.

The shield plate located on at least one wall can be inclined with respect to the vertical and / or the horizontal. In this way, the thickness of the cross section in a plane parallel to any of the horizontal or vertical respectively is increased by providing as! greater protection against firearms. In one embodiment, adjacent sections of Shielding plate may be arranged in a zigzag shape.

The media can be for communication with places away from the ship, such as ports, anti-pirate agencies, shipowners, and the coast guard. The media can also allow communication with places inside the ship, such as the bridge, machine room, etc. These means of communication may be arranged to receive images and sounds from remote monitors and / or external to the security room. For example, CCTV cameras placed around the ship, even outside the security room, can transmit their images to the security room. These transmissions can be wireless and / or wired.

The security room has been designed and developed to remedy the problem of the hostages that have been taken. The security room is portable, easy to implement and based on a standard ISBU (ISO) shipping container.

Broadly speaking, ISO container units are common to all major ports in the world and marine crane systems allow them to quickly equip ships without the need for external modifications. The unit is shielded and can be bulletproof, and can contain its own air supply, electrical system, communications set and a facility to close most marine diesel systems remotely from inside the unit. Each unit has capacity for approximately 24 people for a maximum of 96 hours, if necessary, although 48 hours is preferred.

The security room may have certain advantages compared to an internal fortress of the ship, in which from the outside the general appearance of a standard ISO container is preserved and could be made undercover if necessary. It avoids the need for expensive and long structural works for navigation, so it is suitable for deployment on a temporary basis for "unified exit transit" of hazardous areas. In addition, due to the highly portable nature of the invention, it is possible to provide an independent security room that works either on land or at sea in a relatively short time.

The security room can have an exterior locked door through which access to it can be controlled. It can be locked from inside to secure the security room. The security room may also contain a separate emergency door to provide an alternative means of exit.

In an emergency, when the air supply in the security room is compromised by physical obstruction or by external attempts to influence the air supply inlet, an installation may exist to isolate the security room from the atmosphere external and provide a breathable internal atmosphere for a limited period of time.

The security room may contain, if necessary, a device capable of transmitting a signal to turn off the main propulsion system of the central ship (if it is being used at sea).

Provision of a safety room on a ship can reduce insurance premiums for the ship's owner.

The term "portable" refers to the fact that the safety room can be lifted and moved by normally available crane and forklifts.

The foregoing and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, Taken together with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention. This description is given by way of example only, without limiting the scope of the invention. The reference figures quoted below refer to the attached drawings.

Figure 7 is a plan view of a portion of a different security room.

The invention will now be described by a detailed description of various embodiments of the invention.

A general arrangement of a security room 10 is shown in Figure 1. Not all features are shown and in particular some of the walls have been removed for reasons of clarity. It consists of a container 20, being a standard shipping container, including a fortress 30 inside. The security room has a sliding door 40 within the conventional doors (not shown) of the container. A door 50 is provided within these doors that allow access to the fortress 30. A ventilation duct 60 is provided at one end for the air conditioning unit as described below.

In Figure 2 the plane of the container 20 is depicted including within a liner 70. This liner 70 includes shielding plate and insulation as will be described with reference to Figure 3 below.

Coatings 70 are provided along the four side walls. A gap is shown between the interior of the walls of the container and the liner 70, but this may not be present in one embodiment.

The container 20 includes two conventional doors 25 that open outwards. They can be welded or otherwise fixed, permanently closed after the assembly has been completed.

A sliding door 40 is provided within conventional doors 25.

The fortress 30 is shown inside the container, although it will be observed that a vestibule 45 is formed at the end of the door since the fortress 30 is somewhat shorter in length than the container 20. The fortress 30 includes a door 50 that opens outward in hall 45.

Lobby 45 includes an air conditioning unit 82. This unit 82 is linked to the outside environment through a system 80 of air ventilation ducts, which will be described below with reference to Figures 5 and 6. A generator (not shown) may be located above or below the air conditioning unit 82. The batteries (not shown) may be located within the fortress 30 for, not least, the purpose of temperature control.

An example of the liner 70 is shown in Figure 3. The wall of the container 20 includes an armor plate 74 pushed against it. This is held in place by clamps (not shown) at the top of each plate 74. The clamps are attached to a frame (not shown) that is attached to the base of the container and extends around the inside of the container 20.

Inside the shield plate 74 is an isolation device 76. This can comprise both acoustic and thermal insulation in the form of various foams, rubbers and sheets. An air gap 75 is maintained between the liner 70 and the insulation 76.

The wall of the fortress 30 is shown inside the insulation layer 76. The insulation can be fixed to the wall of the fortress so that the entire assembly of the fortress 30 and the insulation layer 76 slide inside the container after the armor plate has been raised inside.

The spaces 71, within the corrugations, between the wall of the container 20 and the shield plate 74 can be filled with material to produce somersaults in the bullets fired through it.

To maintain the flow of air through the fortress for the inhabitants, the ventilation ducts 100 can be provided at the base of the container walls, or at their base, as shown in Figure 4. The air can also be sucked and / or pulled out through the ventilation ducts 120 provided on top of the walls of the fortress 30. The air will be heated by the occupants and equipment inside the fortress 30 and will be lifted. This will exit through the ventilation ducts 130, 140, provided on the roof of the fortress 30.

The air will then exit through the ventilation ducts 150 provided in the shield plate 74 above the fortress 30.

The air flow is aided by the effect of the passive ventilation stack whereby, the wind 160 on the side of the container will blow through a ventilation duct 110 provided above the shield plate 74 and pass through and out. of the ventilation ducts 110 provided on the other side of the container. This movement of air will suck the hot air, lifting it from the fortress 30, with and out of the container 20. The arrows represent the movement of the air.

The ventilation ducts 150 of the armor plate include deflector plates 79 under each ventilation duct to avoid direct line of sight to the fortress 30 from the outside and so on! ensure that the shielding effect is maintained. A 20-25mm gap is contemplated between the baffles 79 and the ventilation ducts 150.

Figure 5 shows the ventilation duct system 80 in more detail. It is made up of an air conditioning unit 82 which, as is usual in indirect air conditioning units, requires the access of air at a different temperature to function properly. Although there is not really a flow of air from outside the container 20 into the fortress through the air conditioning unit 82, the unit 82 cools, or heats, 5 the air circulating inside the fortress through its heat exchanger. heat / condenser

A ventilation duct 83 in the form of a hole array is formed through the shield plate 74 and the wall of the container 20. A baffle plate 77 is provided inside the vent duct 83. This plate 77 includes a series of holes 87 that are offset from the array of holes in the ventilation duct 83 in the container 20. A fan 86 is provided within the space between the baffle plate 77 and the plate

10 74 shielding to avoid air stagnation and promote ace! the air flow through holes 87 and 83. From

in this way the ventilation air can reach the air conditioning unit 82 without being damaged by the fire of arms. Holes 87 can be 20-25mm in diameter.

Figure 6 shows an elevation view of the shield plate 74 and the baffle 77. Each comprises a series of eight holes 83, 87. These are offset as shown.

Figure 7 shows an embodiment in which the shield plates 74 along the side walls of the fortress 30 are arranged in a zigzag shape, as seen from above. This arrangement can help deflect bullets and prevent them from penetrating the armor.
