I wonder why Lloyds does not required an armed crew/ship. I would think a Bofors system could be adapted to deal with these situations.

Standard policy is not to resist at all. Though I think water cannons have been used some.

..or a number of movable re-loadable "claymore mine" dispensers/6 barreled Gatling MGs controlled by specially trained crew-members...

or several small heavily-armed high-speed boats following the pirates back to their villages and destroy the these "nests".
