The MV Seaman Guard Ohio is a floating armory ship[1] owned by AdvanFort and used for storing weapons and security guards on private anti-piracy contracts.[2] In October 2013, the ship was impounded and the crew and armed guards aboard were detained after it allegedly entered Indian waters with illegal arms without adequate permission.[3]
