Pacsafe’s Anti-Theft Features

eXomesh® Slashguard panels

Many thefts succeed when the exposed lower section of bags are slashed allowing contents to drop out without the victim being aware that a theft has taken place.

These lightweight slashguards are placed in vulnerable sections of the bag, giving protection against a bag slasher’s knives and blades.

Heicopter evacuation of injured/sick passenger

Story From Travelblog
Explorer of the Seas - Holiday Cruise - December 23, 2007 through January 4, 2008

We did not know the details but we saw the helicopter come and take the passenger to puerto rico. We had gone much further up the coast and around 3-4 o’clock the ship turned around and headed back towards puerto rico where the coast guard met our ship at around 10:00. We were told later that the passenger was ok. However by the next evening we hit severely bad weather causing the huge ocean liner to be buffeted about like a small motor boat.Coast Guard Medevacs Female Passenger from Cruise Ship Explorer of the Seas

Aviation - safe and secure parking

Rola-Trac has introduced the I-Trac system to provide a safe and secure parking and operational surface for aircraft.

The need for commercial small airports to gain parking space with the minimum of disruption is growing and I-Trac is the solution.

For the military and relief organisations the ability to create an airfield for tactical or resupply purposes is of great value.

The system is even ‘air portable’ due to its light weight.
