How Water Cannons Keep Pirates at Bay on the High Seas.

Water cannons on cargo ships serve as a crucial defense mechanism against pirate attacks. These cannons are particularly useful in high-risk areas like the Somali coast, where pirates often attempt to board ships. By spraying powerful jets of water up to tens of meters away, the cannons prevent attackers from getting close and make boarding nearly impossible. Their effectiveness lies in their ability to disrupt small boats and deter pirates without causing harm.
