"Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!" - Gomer Pyle, USMC



No mention of armed resistance to attack.... except for the last sentence
about it's "effectiveness."

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.
