Shipping news Large order for SA-designed VPS Anti-piracy devicePorts and Ships website reports that South African company Vessel Protection Systems (VPS) has won a large order to supply commercial charterers with more than 90 anti-pirate devices invented and perfected by VPS in Cape Town. The anti piracy devices have been fitted onto the 65,573-gt Trans-ocean drill ship, DDKG2 and three supportive vessels which are currently employed in a high risk area.
