3. Anti-piracy measures: Guards are trained to recognize and respond to potential piracy threats, implementing preventive measures such as enhanced security protocols, secure transit routes, and providing early warning systems.

4. Conflict resolution: In the event of disputes or conflicts onboard, security guards act as mediators, employing their conflict resolution skills to de-escalate situations and ensure a safe and harmonious environment.

5. Emergency response: Guards are prepared to handle emergencies at sea, including medical emergencies, fires, or equipment failures, coordinating with the crew and providing immediate assistance.
