Tundra International is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusive partnership with Mr David Hammond, Barrister of 9 Bedford Row International Chambers, London to identify and develop new technology based training methods to test personnel on their knowledge and application of the Rules for the Use of Force and the ’100 Series Rules’ as it applies to the maritime security environment.
The 100 Series Rules, created by David Hammond, a UK Counsel and barrister-at-law who heads up the maritime practice at the International division of 9 Bedford Row Chambers (http://9bri.com/members/david-hammond), are intended to be a model set and example of best practice for maritime Rules for the Use of Force, and they are intended to compliment current industry RUF guidance, as well as supporting the requirements of ISO PAS 28007 as an international regulatory document. They are being developed for the use and benefit of the entire maritime industry with support and technical advice from international organisations such as the Security Association for the Maritime Industry (SAMI) and BIMCO, and are under-pinned by a thorough public international and criminal law legal review using an objective international law test of what is “reasonable and necessary” and “proportionate” when force is used in self-defence.
