Easily solved if the people who work on the boats would just say “I ain’t gettin on without a gun.”
Politicos and Company management and UN be damned.
It’s the sailors butts that are on the line here.

I think you need more than a gun on the ships, you need heavy weapons, handled by trained crews. This last attack was carried out by 4 boats and the shooters were armed with rifles and RPGS. If we would put heavy weapons on the ships we would only have to do so for a few months. You blow a few of these skiffs out of the water and the pirates will be quite reluctant to attack a ship.
