They are sailing from Thailand to Greece via the Gulf of Aden. Apparently Blackwater has offered to escort their vessel, the Argo, through the Gulf at no charge in support of the SeaMester program. Nice to see Blackwater using their strength for good! A friend of mine is doing a semester at sea with the SeaMester program. They are sailing from Thailand to Greece via the Gulf of Aden.

If they start shooting, you are liable for their actions if you hired them. I believe in protection but the last thing any Master needs is his ship taken into custody and a long investigation Knowing how Blackwater works, I don’t think any Ships Master or ship owner would want the liability that comes with them.

From what I hear they are thinking about heading to the region and seeing if they can get a few contracts once on location. So far no one has hired them but the ship is still docked in the US.
