The fact of the matter is that they are making this way too complicated, or they don't want to pay for proper protection for the ships. The armed guards to date have been civilian type armed guards.
Put a half dozen retired Navy Seals or other Specops operators with Barrett .50s on those ships and then Piracy will suddenly become a poor employment proposition.

Blackwater is supposedly asking around if the companies want security.......

I wonder if they'll hire a retired QM to help out....Someone has to navigate.

mmmm, prize money.....

I am of two minds on this subject, neither of which are totally serious.

Who can stop the Pirates? Apparently just about anyone in the National League, or else go with their traditional enemy, the ninjas.

On a moving ship?

You want a belt fed for shooting at targets from at sea. And you don't need anybody from SOCOM really, just somebody with passing familiarity with Ma Deuce.
