Do Cruise Ships Carry Weapons

The only guns on Brittish cruise ships are flare guns to be used to attract attention in an emergency.

Do cruise ships carry weapons. I worked on a ship that did most of its work off of east and west Africa and we carried firearms. All weapons are prohibited on cruises due to cruise ship security regulations. What really happened on the Maersk Alabama.

Under the Law Enforcement Safety Act officers cannot carry firearms on cruise ships. In April 2009 the Maersk Alabama cargo ship was attacked and captured by four Somali pirates less than 300 nautical miles off the Coast of Somalia. A lot of the larger cruise lines do carry a sort of security detachment that is armed.

Navy has gradually retired all non-strategic low-yield naval nuclear weapons including the nuclear Tomahawk land-attack cruise missile TLAMN in. Guns are not allowed with or without a concealed carry permit. Ofcourse weapons such as guns and explosive grenades are prohibited onboard.

Pin On Barcos. This can be a shock beam or a high pitchvolume aimable weapon Very often someone on the crew carries a side-arm but that is not going to stop pirates. I would not sail if the ships did not have properly trained and armed security but in generally the cruise lines do not speak of their security plans.

FYI our shipping company only provides razor wires. None of the major cruise lines carry weapons which could also present problems given that they are docking in foreign countries with their own gun control laws. During Operation Telic Phalanx guns were removed from ships and were crewed by RN personnel based at Basra airport as part of the Centurion C-RAM system.

We only use dummies razor wire and fire hoses. As I posted on the other thread they do carry guns but they also have high-powered water guns and high-frequency sound guns that cause great pain and can burst the ear drums. Pin On My Bucket List.
