https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_E3oUgJbnUTL;DR Few people bother carrying firearms internationally because it's a giant hassle with acquiring permits beforehand and even if the paperwork is all in order, a 3rd world shitholer will try to hang on to the weapons or give you grief for extra schekles.
3rd party maritime security companies get around this by ONLY having weapons in international waters and their flag country. So if you want to go through a pirate infested shithole, they'll board your ship with arms once you're in international waters, brief the crew, make the passage, then debark before entering a nation's territorial waters. That way you get security but without the administrative and prison problems.
