If you click on 'more' in the anti-piracy section you will read that
their
men are equipped with the latest weaponry. Later it says that while they
will make every effort to resolve the threat by 'non lethal' means they
will 'take measures' to repel the attack if the pirates approach within
the 300 metre range of the RPG's that the pirates carry.
I think that makes it pretty clear what kind of resistance will be made
available to customers.

Do they offload them before making port? Otherwise, there's going to be
an inspection delay, which is why the ships' crews don't carry weapons
themselves.

They offload the protection squad as soon as they are out of the danger
area.
I guess the company has figured out a way to get them off without hassle
with port authorities.
Maybe they even have a mother ship waiting there so the squad never go
ashore while armed.
They could also wait onboard the mother ship for another customer whose
ship is entering the danger area from the end where they disembarked from
the first ship.

Sounds good... seems like they could use unmanned drones to keep an eye on
suspected pirate ships. They must have a pretty good idea where they are...
