Defense Against Piracy; the Tactical & Operational, on Midrats

With the killing of four Americans by pirates this week, the focus is returning to the international community's surrender of security on the high seas. If governments do not have the will to prevent pirates, then what can civilian individuals and corporations do to make themselves a "tough target" and mitigate the odds that they will become the next piracy headline?

What are the tactical and operational steps mariners can take to defend themselves and their ships from pirates - and if their ship is taken - what they can do to best enable coalition forces to re-take the ship?

This Sunday, 27 FEB from 5-6EST for the full hour will be returning guest to Midrats, Kevin Doherty, former Marine and owner of Nexus Consulting Group of Alexandria.
