Why don't the shipping companies hire a 2-3 mercenaries to defend their ships? I mean it would be really easy to sink those rubber dingies.

Because they're stingy as hell.............
but seriously, hire a sniper or two, and they themselves might betray them and take over the ship I guess?

Time to bring back the Q-ships. It's the only way to counter these pirates.

As I said, if you just let Ninjas sail these ships, we wouldn't have pirate problems.
Pshaw. Any pirate worth his salt - even fake Somali ones - can beat the tar out of a ninja. Yes, the salt that I don't have.
I'll do you one better. We should have heavily-armed tourist ships and then charge tourists to shoot at pirates!

I saw something on TV about these sound direction devices that are non-lethal but will make it so you can't take your hands off your ears, and some suggested it could be used in this kind of scenario.

You think the pirates are real? your all such sheep! It is clearly the work of the Bush Administration to raise oil prices...
It has been. Watched a show on Discovery Times (I think DT) about a cruise ship using around SE Asia to prevent pirates from getting the ship.

I wouldn't sweat it, the Pirates were in last place this year & I don't imagine them being in the running next.

Mercs are probably the most effective way but they're expensive and pirate "threats" are kind of overrated. They don't really capture or attack very many ships, just the ones you read about in the news every once and a while. If they did disrupt shipping as much as we are made to believe then we would be bombing Somalia right now.
Presently the most cost effective thing to do is to ignore the threat, make sure your pirate insurance is in order and simply hope one of your ships isn't unlucky enough to be targeted.

I don't think a western security firm would do that.

Putting weapons on commercial shipping vessels is illegal according to certain treaties I believe. But I'd be all for having hidden machine gun turrets pop out of the deck if under attack and just open up on the pirates.
