One of the options to enhance physical security is the placement of armed security teams
There are many private providers of armed security teams to choose from although in some areas the choice is restricted; such as in West Africa where local government forces must be used.
Use of Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel (PCASP) is an option in the Indian Ocean and government sanctioned forces can be arranged through private entities in west Africa. There are many factors to consider before engaging such services.
Remember:
Legal use of PCASP varies according to many factors
Floating armouries are the means by which many team embarkation and disembarkations are facilitated. The legal and regulatory frameworks are not always clear.
