a special counterpiracy course, designated for civilian shipping security was held by the International Security Academy in israel. the course was held recently and hit local israeli as well as intl news - although israeli ships only encountered one single case of attempted pirate attack (successfuly averted) during the recent piracy crisis, israel has the longest experience of civilian ship security (both passive and active). summit brochure (PDF)

As far as I know, it does not. As long as no criminal acts are committed, a private security can be used. The problem with most companies is liability/insurance issues I think.Originally Posted by JJC

Interesting post, JG. Thanks for posting.
