I cynically state any vessel that does arm with such guards will probably be cut off from insurance by Lloyds.

Seems from past readings that Lloyds has been a major obstacle to such action as guards on board the vessels, or arming of qualified crew members.

I don’t know why they’d do that. They wouldn’t have to stump up so much cash for every time one of their insured vessels gets hijacked...
