This is exactly my point.

$60,000 compared to the $150Million in cargo many of the ships are carrying. I'd be willing to bet insurance companies would decrease their rates as well if they were given a certificate showing that a security force will be on board.

I've read that there are some international laws that might cause a hurdle.

the cost of doing business via cargo ship
just went up because of somalia's thugs

the exacto sniper rifle can shoot them

from 1 mile away

so.....they won't see it coming.....

"Quiggly down Under"..... LOL

but still this additional cost will eventually be passed
on to the consumer.
