On November 8th to the 10th in Long Beach, California, Maritime Arresting Technologies, a competitor in the 2016 AST Homeland Security Awards ‘ASTORS’ competition, will participate in a joint presentation with Port Tampa Bay’s Vice President of Security Mark Dubina, at the Port Management Network Forum, a national conference on port security.
The presentation will highlight the recent completion of Tampa Bay’s security enhancement project with Maritime Arresting Technologies, in which new physical security technology was implemented to increase the port’s ability and efficiency to respond to threats on their waterways.

The PMN Forum in November will be the second time Maritime Arresting Technologies has sponsored the event, and the first time discussing their technology on it’s stage.
“We’re going to focus on seaward security, as land based security is already well catered for,” said Matthew Searle, the company’s Chief Technology Officer.
“We’re very excited to be sharing the stage with the port,” said Mr. Searle, referencing the upcoming co-presentation.
In August, Maritime Arresting Technologies worked with Port Tampa Bay and the Sheriff’s office to implement a series of retractable port security booms which can close off the mouth of a harbor in under six minutes.
After the technology was implemented, the company did training with the Coast Guard and the Sheriff’s office on how to properly and effectively use the security enhancements.
Port Tampa Bay also acquired Maritime Arresting Technologies MK 4 Launcher – another of the port security company’s innovative and one of a kind products which help law enforcement stop unauthorized vessels on the water.
“We’re inviting anyone who is curious about the Tampa Bay project to come down to the Long Beach Conference Centre during PMN next month.”
“We will be presenting what we’ve learned during the project with Mr. Dubina,” stated Shawn Splide, Maritime Arresting Technologies’ Director.
