There are however several aspects that need to be noted about the citadel anti-piracy method. Some of the key points can be listed down as follows:
The citadel anti-piracy method is recommended to be installed in ships as per the regulations of the International Maritime Security Centre
The citadel requires having not just food and water supplies but also effective communication channels to be able to communicate with the outside world, with a proper system of ventilation and a first aid kit
The room can also be fitted with CCTV cameras and should have the control for switching off the engines – both main and auxiliary
The citadel needs to be properly planned and constructed. The anti-piracy fortification is like a last attempt on the part of the ship’s crew to escape from the pirates. This is why there cannot be any loopholes in the construction of the stronghold
The entire marine piracy stronghold needs to be amidst a circle of defenses that extend up to 1500 metres
