Peoplesafe, independent experts in lone worker safety, have added Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) from 9Solutions to its portfolio.

Piracy as a whole is costing global trade an estimated $12 billion (USD) a year, with the primary target being the oil industry – a key sector of the West African economy. Many foreign nations, in particular the United States have acknowledged significant strategic interests in West Africa . In fact, some observers have argued that US strategic interests lie predominantly in West Africa, rather than East Africa . The EU has acknowledged its important maritime relationship with the region , and China has also engaged the region, looking to stave off incidents of piracy. There are other issues, along with piracy, that are prevalent in the Gulf of Guinea.
