#1 Any reports out of Somalia? I have been away, but it seems real quiet...too quiet, as they used to say.

#5 Don't laugh, but the crew possessing firearms would place the ship's 'merchant' classification in jeopardy.

A ship could hire security personnel, but most owners won't. One, it costs money. Two, insurance generally covers the losses, or the financial loss is limited to the ship (in many cases, shipowners will create a separate company for each vessel they own).

If a crew member dies or gets injured in a pirate attack, well, there may an insurance payout by the casualty/indemnity company, insurance the individual was able to take out, or somebody else willing to take the injured/decedent's place.
