Yeah, no doubt. I hope they offload them before they make port. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

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. |

I'd love to see the look on the pirates' faces as the automatic weapons fire rakes across their hull as they crap in their pants. -- ----- Larry You can tell there's very intelligent life in the Universe because none of them have ever tried to contact us..... |

Otherwise, there's going to be an inspection delay, which is why the ships' crews don't carry weapons themselves. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

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... -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
