Husband and wife inventors set to make millions out of ingenious plastic rail that stops shipping pirates in their tracks:
The barrier prevents pirates from boarding ships using grappling hooks and ladders because they can't get a grip
It has already been fitted to a 100 ships and in May this year prevented it's first attack in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of Nigeria
A married couple have invented a simple way to stop pirates hijacking ships this is set to earn them £1million and the gratitude of sailors the world over.
Teresa Stevens dreamed up a plastic barrier to fit over ships’ rails and make it impossible for anyone to board from another vessel.
Together with her husband David she runs a company specialising in maritime security and the pair are celebrating after the crime-busting design put them on course to turn over £1million in their first year.
