(57) The present invention provides a perimeter protection system (100) comprising a security
bulwark for mounting along a perimeter railing of a vessel or marine installation.
The security bulwark has a first width, w. The perimeter protection system (100) also
comprises a spacer which can be positioned abutting a side of the security bulwark
(1). The spacer has a second width, v, which is a fraction of the first width, w.
If a first plurality, a, of such security bulwarks (1a, 1b, 1c) is arranged side-by-side
adjacent to each other and a second plurality, b, of such spacers (40a, 40b) is positioned
alongside the first plurality, a, of such security bulwarks, with the security bulwarks
(1a, 1b, 1c) and spacers (40a, 40b) abutting each other, the combined width, aw +
bv, of the first plurality, a, of security bulwarks and the second plurality, b, of
spacers can be made substantially equal to a length, ℓ, of the perimeter railing by
an appropriate choice of the respective numbers, a and b, of the security bulwarks
and spacers. The invention also provides a corresponding method of protecting a perimeter
of a vessel or marine installation.
