The security contractors have tenders. These tenders carry the weapons and ammo and bring the security contractor to the vessel for duty while they are making their passage through troubled waters. Another tender plucks them off the ship before they enter territorial waters. The tenders operate out of friendly ports, or transfer weapons to an at sea tender before entering port. Complicated, but workable.
One of these tenders had an emergency and had to enter an Indian port with weapons/ammo on board. There was a dust up, I don’t know how it was finally resolved.
are you referring to this incidnet?:
i dont see anything more recent than in november they were requesting their passports back....
Thanks for the update. Interesting.
