You can’t simply fire upon pirates bc they show up. The pirates have to show intent such as trying to board your vessel or firing at you first. You can however fire warning shots but you cannot simply start smoking dudes on the open water bc you know their pirates. That’s a good way to spend the rest of your life in a third world prison somewhere. Just bc it’s international waters doesn’t mean “laws don’t apply” there’s absolutely sea fairer laws that apply to any and all vessels on the open water that’s why he didn’t shoot anyone. Taking a life isn’t like you see in the movies I promise you it’s nothing like that. If there’s any fellow veterans in the comments here they can vouch for that as well.

As a Dutch citizen, i am quite suprised to see Dutch marines using life ammo. I kind thought they still had to say "pang pang pang" after decades of cost reductions done by the Dutch government who thought Russia is now a friend.
Most Filipino Sailors are always ready to engage and protect their posts in these kind of eventualities... Just ask them and they are more than willing to protect what was entrusted to them...Proud of you mga Kabayan💪💪💪🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
This is BS for not wasted those pirates while you have a chance. Now they all go back and wait for the next ship that may not have any marines to protect them. This is a stupid move by allowing the pirates to get a way.
There is more to the story to why Somalia pirates are doing this. One big reason is because western and other big fishing companies have essentially robbed Somalia people of their ways to fish. Which is their main income for food and means to survive, as a last resort they try to get their income back by force. There are documentaries about this on TH-cam.
A 6 inch high-pressure water pump would cleanup any attempts to board the ship, sinks their boat , , then add a gallon of animal blood overboard, and carry on because nature's going to take care of the pirates ☠️
This is ridiculous, they should have dealt with the problem right there and then. Just because they have Marines and firepower doesn't mean the next ship will be so lucky. By letting them go you just doomed some other poor crew with the same fate that would have been yours. That's why it's important to destroy these guy's immediately, doesn't matter if they attack you or not. Because it's super obvious what they were doing there. They wanted to hijack the ship you do not let these people go, their terrorists.
oh i see so the guys in the huge tanker were supposed to turn on the tankers hyperdrive engines so it can catch up to a group of speed boats. or better yet lets just spray randomly and waste what small supply of ammunition available for this ships whole journey in which this event could happen more times within those waters. i genuinely dont know what else your expecting but i felt i gotta reply to 1 of these comments
this is a privately owned ship. Try to put yourself in the ownership shoes. Would you want your ship to travel safely to its destination with all crew and cargo safe on board or would you let your captain to playing Hornblower and use my civilian ship as though it is a battleship? I'll sack and discharge him at the next port because he stopped doing his job as captain and wanted to be a policeman. Even during ww1 and sw2, merchant vessels though armed didn't go chasing after enemy targets.
This happens thousands of times a day in the U.S. when someone displays their firearm and just the sight of it, convinces the criminals it's not worth the potential consequences. An armed society is a polite society.
Do you know people in the west were financing the hi-jacking? How did the pirates know the routes and cargo the ship took? Yeah the locked up some really wealthy dude but as you know they beat the case. Lmao.
Having armed guards on ships adds to the cost of shipping products which is ultimately passed onto the consumer. But, that's the world we live in now with politicians caring more about criminal's rights than the people they're attacking!
So just kill people? Do you think when they were a little boy that they wanted to grow up and be a pirate? They had very very few options in life. On another note, What politicians that you vote for have sovereignty in international waters or Somali waters?
@@baigish100 you know your logic doesn't work. How many crew members have these pirates killed over the years. You have to fight fire with fire. They brought this on them selves. You people that care more about the criminals than you do for the victims they attack is beyond me. Maybe you need to do a little research on Somalia and look at the atrocities they've committed on their own people.
Been sailing for so long too, but first to see 10 Armed Guards onboard I bet you have very precious cargo, most probably Military Equipment's since your guards look like active military personnel
What exactly was the purpose of the marines showing themselves, warning the pirates off? That just allowed the bastards to seek out another unprotected ship. These pirates do not play fair, so neither should the armed guards. Wait...unseen...until the pirate vessels get close, then fire on them until they're all dead.
@@notmenotme614 retired police here….there are some really good urban patterns in subdued grey…if you are buying surplus the camouflage is probably cheaper but you can get gucciflage if you want to spend the money…..of course the camo may be intended as a deterrent here to mark them as soldiers rather than regular crew from a distance
Chief this is the reasons why I choose to work in Shipyard and stop sailing because of this people who have always bad intention, the best thing is you have enough Armed Guards to protect you all
Nice to see a real drama unfolds on this video, it is really about the strength of your Armed Guards, that these pirates think about their life's instead
Woodland camouflage is the best choice aboard a ship on the ocean. They will blend into to the earth and foliage well. Somalia Pirates: "Those bushes have machine guns !"
a Few years ago they made the mistake of attacking a Russian Navy ship. The Russians x captured everyone of those guys, brought them aboard for questioning and soon after, those guys mysteriously disappeared ! most likely tossed their bodies overboard
@@reynaldoflores4522 theres video of it.. go look it up. They blew up the pirates ship and used it for target practice and arrested all the pirates, theres another where they send them off on 1 little rickety boat with a thing of gas and a compass lmao
Nah, you'd have the left in America blaming racism for not letting criminals be criminal. For taking food out of Somalian pirate mouths and saying it's only a ship and the companies have insurance.
I did anti piracy operation in the gulf of Aden about 10yrs ago. It was highly active then. Didn't know it was still going on. What private contract company is this?
Just like Most Criminals they Don’t want any Smoke or they don’t wanna risk a Fight, These are true Cowards that want to hit unguarded and unarmed Vessels and crews as the guarded ships are too much trouble, Just like street Criminals if they know people are armed and know how to use their weapons there is less of a chance to be assaulted or attacked.. 🤷🏻♂️👍
@@Beezlie727??? Why would you even bring up the word coward, when they are looking for money and not to prove they're brave. Do you expect them to fight toe to toe or something? It's not a sign of cowardness they just know they can't.
Except for the armed guards. They all speak English with a dutch accent which means they are probably from the Netherlands or northern Belgium (dutch speaking part of Belgium). I could recognize their accent each time.
You made a typo there... I've corrected it for you below: "Should have turned ON all the cameras and dealt with them. Then sent the video to the pirates families as a 'discouragement'"
Why would they not at least take a few of the fast boats out and leave the people to be picked up by their other vessels? This would have a drastic impact on them trying to take another ship!
I was thinking that too, take out some of those A-holes. But it was probably one of those things where they were ordered to not shoot unless shot at 1st.
Next time hold your phone in a landscape/horizontal position to get a full picture without these annoying amateur black panels. It is like looking through a tunnel.
I think you should hand everyone am AR and post them at the rail and let them have at the pirates. If everyone would do this instead of letting them escape the pirating would stop. Common sense folks, "Shaking my head"......
Yes locate their port they operate out of and kill them all destroy their boats. Naval warfare all nations take turns at offensive operations against this threat on commercial shipping.
@@battfieldsniper1 Until shipping companies refuse to go to ports in those countries. Those rules are changing because of piracy. Plus the ships Somalis target are in international waters.
I'll say it again... You have to absolutely insane to approach a ship that size when you are in a dingy... This is the equivalent of a few guys in a pickup truck approaching a tank.
@@agonzgonzalez7748 His point was not about the size of the crew. It was about the wake and churning up of the water caused by the movement of the ship through the water. If the pirates get it wrong just once their boat will capsize and they will be dead
@@nphil93992 Yea, the pirates are well versed in seamenship, unfortunately, they know exactly where they need to be. And the smaller the boat they use, the less chances they will be spotted on open water.
Take them all out . My man is being held hostage by them . He was on a small navy ship . They beat him and feed him bad food . I don't know if anyone looks for them
Whay modern merchant vessels don't hasve "Pirate Lockers" on the bridge wings and on the fore and aft peaks escapes me. They could have "Break seal in case of piracy" In each locker would be something like a 5.56 or 7.62 gatling gun ready to go with enough spaced armor to defeat RPG's. Then you can just waste the vermin.
In a few places, around some of the world's busiest ports, there are floating arsenal storage facilities in international waters where ships can store their weapons while in port, and recover them when going back out to sea. For a price, of course. Of course, those floating weapons storage facilities themselves are quite well defended. Such facilities should be available near all ports that prohibit ships to enter while carrying weapons.
@@Turboy65 they are they just don't advertise it I know of atleast 4 but some.ports like.oman and Sri Lanka you take the weapons off the ship and they get stored for you at the local barracks or police station those ships are normally carrying on up.the suez or on to China were armed guards aren't required so security wait for another ship
Letting the pirates go away is like saying keep trying you will eventually find a ship who is not ready to defend. Why not actively patrol the area and prosecute? If the country harboring them doesnt want to help put some sactions on them.
I think that'd make you as morally objectionable as the pirates. Arguably worse. They are just violent thieves. They were no real danger to the ship once the crew was ready for them.
@@baigish100 Okay, they are "just violent thieves", make them "dead violent thieves". They might not have been a danger to that particular ship but only because they know they will die if they try and that those guns are not an empty threat, but it leaves them free to try another vessel. No mercy for these pirates, none!
@@baigish100 if I held your family at gun point demanding ransom, in not a dangerous person? If a person is desperate enough to do this you think they wont commit other crimes? It's people like you who think they know what is going on that puts the rest of us in more danger.
100% on point with the first part. The same goes for things like home burglary. Passive deterrents do nothing to stop crime, they only go for a lower apple on the tree and not everyone can afford private security. The only deterrent that works holistically is making it a dangerous proposition to get into the business of piracy all together. They already tried the prosecution approach. It doesn’t work. It becomes a catch and release scenario and waste of resources. Sanctions cause more problems then they solve BTW.
I'm a seafarer just like you, I know the feeling when crossing this Somali Pirates area, It is really felt safe if you have Armed Guard onboard. - Cheers to us who delivered all the WORLD needs but not compensated properly, hoping for more videos to flood the internet about us so they will knew who we are and what we are? - Be safe Mr. Joel Sibulo - Life of a Seafarer
Best part is that pirates withdrawn upon seeing the presence of the Armed Guards - they will live another and attack other Ship without the fire powers that you have!!
So now they'll take the NEXT unarmed ship instead...it doesn't add up. They still "respect" the "rights" of the pirates by kindly warning them so that they can attack ANOTHER ship later on...
no one wants to get sued or spend the rest of there lives on murder charges when they get back to there home countrys. i know what you mean tho, id would have sunk them
@@seasalt1164 I was thinking...they could have demonstrated their defense ability by shooting around the attackers, into the sea, so thay they see what the alarm means. Somehow it was was a bit lame to give a sound alarm, lol...
....this is why stocks of LAWs are still useful; they may not be useful vs modern tanks, but firing a few into pirate boats as they pull up should be more than enough to kill/cripple a pirate boat. At which point you leave them to drift, or if they continue to resist, open fire again.
@@fozzywxman if 10 boats go out and only one comes back with a dead crew, then that tends to tell people maybe they should be in a different line of business. Maybe instead of being Pirates they should do something about their shitty government. Or lack of one.
@@bukboefidun9096 except a lot of people object to the wholesale Slaughter of people. I'm ambivalent towards it but my point of view for this would be if you have to kill them all do so but if possible be shown to be willing to show Mercy...that way you aren't just branded a monster.
Whoever was the person responsible for 'pixelating' this video should be fired!!! Not only did they manage to HIGHLIGHT the sensitive areas of video, but they then 'missed' pixelating those same areas NUMEROUS times. At present (6/6/2022), the supposedly pixelated vessel is just off the west coast of India making its way to Damman, Saudi Arabia!
Sending "Armed Guard Onboard" in the AIS Vessels transiting a Piracy High Risk Area will often send "Armed Guard Onboard" as Destination in the AIS. This deterrent measure might prevent pirates from knowing their real destination (despite the fact that the ship has armed guards onboard or not). The pirates might re-evaluate their plans to attack a vessel.
None of this will in any meaningful way deter the pirates. The ancient Romans had a big piracy problem. It was solved by doing the following: going to the pirate's base and crucifying every pirate. Suddenly, no more pirate problem. Shooting into the water to "deter" the pirates just encourages them to try again with an easier target. The pirates expect this and factor it in to their calculations.
best part of the video is the blurred face at the end, whoever took this failed to effectively blur out the briefing. Can see the guy clear as day. Not that I care, but he might.
Very interesting, no shot fired, pirates were afraid to engage because they saw the Machine Guns on the side of the Ship manned by Armed Guards, this most probably first time for them, a Merchant Ship with lots of Armed Guards all over the Ship equip with high powered rifles

Don't even let them get that close, start using them as target practice and they will get the idea.
@@isaned
You start to fire when you see the white of there eyes. These so called pirates were already intimidated when they saw the guards and the machineguns.
Killing them would be bad for business and no more work for the armed guards no?
I was hoping for them to get taken by the sea...as in down down to the bottom.
We got a Billy Badass over here who knows everything about combat and engagement... Let a bunch of armed pirates get into firing range because the crew's life is definitely worth getting shot by bullets flying around and potential for crossfire or damage to the ship.
As a Dutch citizen, i am quite suprised to see Dutch marines using life ammo. I kind thought they still had to say "pang pang pang" after decades of cost reductions done by the Dutch government who thought Russia is now a friend.
Same here in Portugal. When someone talked about convencional forces needs, it was always ridiculed as someone who lives in the eighties.
Not animore…
Most Filipino Sailors are always ready to engage and protect their posts in these kind of eventualities... Just ask them and they are more than willing to protect what was entrusted to them...Proud of you mga Kabayan💪💪💪🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
With the Dutchies protecting them.
Facts lmao soy boys bruh
Pa bida ka naman. Smh
Nah their bunch of tungas!
hahah kawawa ka.
looks like a perfect time to eliminate 9 pirate boats.
This is BS for not wasted those pirates while you have a chance. Now they all go back and wait for the next ship that may not have any marines to protect them. This is a stupid move by allowing the pirates to get a way.
There is more to the story to why Somalia pirates are doing this. One big reason is because western and other big fishing companies have essentially robbed Somalia people of their ways to fish. Which is their main income for food and means to survive, as a last resort they try to get their income back by force. There are documentaries about this on TH-cam.
Who would have thought an armed resistance could deter criminal activity?
LOL! Who?
Ikr? Who would have thought that a good guy with a gun could stop a bad guy with a gun? It’s crazy!
Armed guards foil…armed guard foils. Genius.
A 6 inch high-pressure water pump would cleanup any attempts to board the ship, sinks their boat , , then add a gallon of animal blood overboard, and carry on because nature's going to take care of the pirates ☠️
This is ridiculous, they should have dealt with the problem right there and then. Just because they have Marines and firepower doesn't mean the next ship will be so lucky. By letting them go you just doomed some other poor crew with the same fate that would have been yours. That's why it's important to destroy these guy's immediately, doesn't matter if they attack you or not. Because it's super obvious what they were doing there. They wanted to hijack the ship you do not let these people go, their terrorists.
So basically... Murder... 🤨 Glad you aren't an employee here. You do realise murder after a while takes it toll... For sane people that is.
oh i see so the guys in the huge tanker were supposed to turn on the tankers hyperdrive engines so it can catch up to a group of speed boats. or better yet lets just spray randomly and waste what small supply of ammunition available for this ships whole journey in which this event could happen more times within those waters.
i genuinely dont know what else your expecting but i felt i gotta reply to 1 of these comments
Should have scared them straight with some bullets at the very least
A lot of admirers for terrorist scum here. Propably wearing che Guevara shirts.
this is a privately owned ship. Try to put yourself in the ownership shoes. Would you want your ship to travel safely to its destination with all crew and cargo safe on board or would you let your captain to playing Hornblower and use my civilian ship as though it is a battleship? I'll sack and discharge him at the next port because he stopped doing his job as captain and wanted to be a policeman.
Even during ww1 and sw2, merchant vessels though armed didn't go chasing after enemy targets.
This happens thousands of times a day in the U.S. when someone displays their firearm and just the sight of it, convinces the criminals it's not worth the potential consequences. An armed society is a polite society.
It is a shame that they allowed so many ships to be pirated before these measures were taken.
It's NWO bullshit. They don't want to stop it. They allow it, so they can stop it in the future and pretend to be the solution.
Do you know people in the west were financing the hi-jacking? How did the pirates know the routes and cargo the ship took? Yeah the locked up some really wealthy dude but as you know they beat the case. Lmao.
Somali's gotta eat too!!!
Why did they let these guys go? They should have finished them.
@@zumaanandrade3961 what? These ships are really easy to find. They have transponders.
Having armed guards on ships adds to the cost of shipping products which is ultimately passed onto the consumer. But, that's the world we live in now with politicians caring more about criminal's rights than the people they're attacking!
So just kill people? Do you think when they were a little boy that they wanted to grow up and be a pirate? They had very very few options in life. On another note, What politicians that you vote for have sovereignty in international waters or Somali waters?
Loosing a ship is a little more expensive!
@@baigish100 Which criminal organizations do you support that ignore all laws, personal property rights and hijack private vessels for ransom?
At the end of the day criminals DO have rights.
@@baigish100 you know your logic doesn't work. How many crew members have these pirates killed over the years. You have to fight fire with fire. They brought this on them selves. You people that care more about the criminals than you do for the victims they attack is beyond me. Maybe you need to do a little research on Somalia and look at the atrocities they've committed on their own people.
Good to see change... not long ago, having armed security was not done.
Piracy along that area is on the rise again you would be crazy to take a valuable cargo through there without being armed or protected in some way.
The UN forbade any protection.
Ten years agoit was a booming business already. You just lived under a rock.
dumb clickbait video full of pussies.
Just depends on the ship line.
Been sailing for so long too, but first to see 10 Armed Guards onboard I bet you have very precious cargo, most probably Military Equipment's since your guards look like active military personnel
Maybe their Cargo is use for building bombs.
Yes, the owner of this ship has plenty money to protect the cargo and the crew.
Just like what Deadpool said "Did I leave the stove on" or else we will do firefighting!
What exactly was the purpose of the marines showing themselves, warning the pirates off? That just allowed the bastards to seek out another unprotected ship. These pirates do not play fair, so neither should the armed guards. Wait...unseen...until the pirate vessels get close, then fire on them until they're all dead.
This is a typical Dutch limp wristed approach to crime.
I love the camouflage on the ship. They blend completely in
It’s probably because that’s the only colour you can buy military equipment in
@@notmenotme614 retired police here….there are some really good urban patterns in subdued grey…if you are buying surplus the camouflage is probably cheaper but you can get gucciflage if you want to spend the money…..of course the camo may be intended as a deterrent here to mark them as soldiers rather than regular crew from a distance
It sure makes them look more intimidating which is the point here
@@starsixsvn No it’s not. They buy surplus military gear or from military suppliers. Therefore the colour is whatever the military use.
@@starsixsvn I think you are correct…..I initially was thinking of it as camouflage but as a visual deterrent it does make a degree of sense

Chief this is the reasons why I choose to work in Shipyard and stop sailing because of this people who have always bad intention, the best thing is you have enough Armed Guards to protect you all
thanlk you for sharing, pirates really do exit.
By exit do you mean they leave the room. I think you meant exist

Nice to see a real drama unfolds on this video, it is really about the strength of your Armed Guards, that these pirates think about their life's instead
Woodland camouflage is the best choice aboard a ship on the ocean. They will blend into to the earth and foliage well.
Somalia Pirates: "Those bushes have machine guns !"
a Few years ago they made the mistake of attacking a Russian Navy ship. The Russians x
captured everyone of those guys, brought them aboard for questioning and soon after, those guys mysteriously disappeared ! most likely tossed their bodies overboard
I think Russians fired at an empty boat.
That's hard to believe. Probably not true. No pirate in his right mind would attack a navy ship.
That’s exactly what needs to happen

@@agrameroldoctane_66 nah more like products of inbreeding that resemble right wingers of the US..

Except for the armed guards. They all speak English with a dutch accent which means they are probably from the Netherlands or northern Belgium (dutch speaking part of Belgium). I could recognize their accent each time.
I heard them swearing with Dutch hard G accent. Typical Dutch swearing words were used
the blurring is as useful as having no toilet paper when having diaerrhea man
Outstanding & About Time these vessels armed themselves
Should have turned off the cameras and dealt with them. They will just go to the next ship.
You made a typo there... I've corrected it for you below:
"Should have turned ON all the cameras and dealt with them. Then sent the video to the pirates families as a 'discouragement'"
@@trevorvanbremen4718 True!
Why would they not at least take a few of the fast boats out and leave the people to be picked up by their other vessels? This would have a drastic impact on them trying to take another ship!
I was thinking that too, take out some of those A-holes. But it was probably one of those things where they were ordered to not shoot unless shot at 1st.
Exactly. Take out the equipment. All of it though. Let them swim back to shore.
@@seth7745 Probably illegal by international law, but they should have a right to destroy them.

I think you should hand everyone am AR and post them at the rail and let them have at the pirates. If everyone would do this instead of letting them escape the pirating would stop. Common sense folks, "Shaking my head"......
Yes locate their port they operate out of and kill them all destroy their boats. Naval warfare all nations take turns at offensive operations against this threat on commercial shipping.
Rather have an M60 or Ma Deuce, but yeah once the pirates figured out that they will get shot to death or drown, the might stop.
Exactly. Give them helmets and body armor and for half an hour they can look like marines, and shoot guns at boats for fun and security.
different nations waters... dont allow guns.. so its not allowed.
@@battfieldsniper1 Until shipping companies refuse to go to ports in those countries. Those rules are changing because of piracy. Plus the ships Somalis target are in international waters.
Would've turned out differently if the pirates were led by Jack Sparrow!
I'll say it again... You have to absolutely insane to approach a ship that size when you are in a dingy... This is the equivalent of a few guys in a pickup truck approaching a tank.
The big ships can have crews of like 10 to 25 guys so you can take them over pretty easily if there are no armed guards on board.
@@agonzgonzalez7748 His point was not about the size of the crew. It was about the wake and churning up of the water caused by the movement of the ship through the water. If the pirates get it wrong just once their boat will capsize and they will be dead
No...it's like a push bike going up against a tank...
@@nphil93992 Yea, the pirates are well versed in seamenship, unfortunately, they know exactly where they need to be. And the smaller the boat they use, the less chances they will be spotted on open water.

Whay modern merchant vessels don't hasve "Pirate Lockers" on the bridge wings and on the fore and aft peaks escapes me. They could have "Break seal in case of piracy" In each locker would be something like a 5.56 or 7.62 gatling gun ready to go with enough spaced armor to defeat RPG's. Then you can just waste the vermin.
In a few places, around some of the world's busiest ports, there are floating arsenal storage facilities in international waters where ships can store their weapons while in port, and recover them when going back out to sea. For a price, of course. Of course, those floating weapons storage facilities themselves are quite well defended. Such facilities should be available near all ports that prohibit ships to enter while carrying weapons.
@@Turboy65 they are they just don't advertise it I know of atleast 4 but some.ports like.oman and Sri Lanka you take the weapons off the ship and they get stored for you at the local barracks or police station those ships are normally carrying on up.the suez or on to China were armed guards aren't required so security wait for another ship

Sgt, Semper Fi
Letting the pirates go away is like saying keep trying you will eventually find a ship who is not ready to defend. Why not actively patrol the area and prosecute? If the country harboring them doesnt want to help put some sactions on them.
I think that'd make you as morally objectionable as the pirates. Arguably worse. They are just violent thieves. They were no real danger to the ship once the crew was ready for them.
@@baigish100 Okay, they are "just violent thieves", make them "dead violent thieves". They might not have been a danger to that particular ship but only because they know they will die if they try and that those guns are not an empty threat, but it leaves them free to try another vessel. No mercy for these pirates, none!
@@baigish100 if I held your family at gun point demanding ransom, in not a dangerous person? If a person is desperate enough to do this you think they wont commit other crimes? It's people like you who think they know what is going on that puts the rest of us in more danger.
100% on point with the first part. The same goes for things like home burglary. Passive deterrents do nothing to stop crime, they only go for a lower apple on the tree and not everyone can afford private security. The only deterrent that works holistically is making it a dangerous proposition to get into the business of piracy all together. They already tried the prosecution approach. It doesn’t work. It becomes a catch and release scenario and waste of resources. Sanctions cause more problems then they solve BTW.
I suspect the answer comes down to money, such as who's going to pay for pirate patrols.
Wasting all that good ammo you better have enough left for the pirates!
Just the presence of Armed Guards, pirates forgots that they are pirates...
I am so happy to see protection for the ships at sea now. Its about time you can fight back! Praying for all of you. Sorry this happens too😔
Put a big sign on the side of the ship that says " Make My Day "
Somali don't read English.
The Armed Guards changes everything
Yes, they should done that a long time ago, so pirates will not be roaming around on that water.

Save ammo until they are close then destroy the boats crew
save ammo my ass ,think on a ship they hundreds of lbs of ammo.
Just use the pirates for target practice
The Number of Armed Guards is enough to stop the evil doing of this pirates
Arming a merchant ship is one way to combat piracy
Thank you for sharing, it is a big help to us seafarers.
I'm a seafarer just like you, I know the feeling when crossing this Somali Pirates area, It is really felt safe if you have Armed Guard onboard. - Cheers to us who delivered all the WORLD needs but not compensated properly, hoping for more videos to flood the internet about us so they will knew who we are and what we are? - Be safe Mr. Joel Sibulo - Life of a Seafarer
Yes, crossing this pirate's area requires elite Armed personnel.
Armed Guards should be provided by all Shipping owner
This I will agree with you, better safe than sorry, ship should protect their crew by employing Armed Guards.
Yes, I agree with you!
Yes, they need to have Armed Guards
Best part is that pirates withdrawn upon seeing the presence of the Armed Guards - they will live another and attack other Ship without the fire powers that you have!!
You have to love vertical videos, especially with all that swinging from side to side to try to get things in shot.
So now they'll take the NEXT unarmed ship instead...it doesn't add up. They still "respect" the "rights" of the pirates by kindly warning them so that they can attack ANOTHER ship later on...

I was thinking...they could have demonstrated their defense ability by shooting around the attackers, into the sea, so thay they see what the alarm means. Somehow it was was a bit lame to give a sound alarm, lol...
....this is why stocks of LAWs are still useful; they may not be useful vs modern tanks, but firing a few into pirate boats as they pull up should be more than enough to kill/cripple a pirate boat.

Sending "Armed Guard Onboard" in the AIS
Vessels transiting a Piracy High Risk Area will often send "Armed Guard Onboard" as Destination in the AIS. This deterrent measure might prevent pirates from knowing their real destination (despite the fact that the ship has armed guards onboard or not). The pirates might re-evaluate their plans to attack a vessel.
But pirates are now also using new technology.
Modern pirates are also advancing in terms of technology.
Pirates are backed by their financer; they have the equipment too.
None of this will in any meaningful way deter the pirates. The ancient Romans had a big piracy problem. It was solved by doing the following: going to the pirate's base and crucifying every pirate. Suddenly, no more pirate problem. Shooting into the water to "deter" the pirates just encourages them to try again with an easier target. The pirates expect this and factor it in to their calculations.
Exactly, remove them from existence and it’ll stop.
