Why don’t these ships carry weapons if they know they have to pass through this area? Even a few high powered rifles with good scopes could have helped them avoid being hijacked. I don’t know why the owner would announce to the world that the ships never carry weapons.

Well, something sank the pirate ship. It seems strange to me that the pirates would sink their own vessel.

I was listening to some guy being interviewed on Fox,he said they carry high pressure water cannons,but no lethal weapons..
It might be something to do with insurance?

Do not bring a water cannon to a gunfight.

The ships' insurance carriers generally dont allow guns onboard for liability reasons.
