The Shipcraft Group shipping company, whose vessel narrowly escaped being hijacked last week in the Gulf of Aden, has decided to hire private armed guards for its vessels.
“We have a duty to protect our crews and ensure that help is near when the pirates attack. As a result we are putting armed guards on board – also to ensure that the pirates are kept at a distance until helicopters can get to the scene. Their presence will be preventive and to scare off pirates by – in the worst case – firing warning shots if necessary,” Shipcraft CEO Per Nykjær Jensen according to a report in Fyns Amts Avis.
