Crime on the High Seas: The World's Most Pirated Waters - by Ted Kemp/ Pirates/ cnbc.com
... Welcome to the world's most dangerous waters, where a whole new style of piracy is rewriting the playbook of maritime crime. The attack on the Ai Maru, which was documented by ReCAAP, a multinational body that combats piracy, and the International Chamber of Commerce's International Maritime Bureau (IMB), is a textbook example of the piracy plaguing the seas of the Singapore Strait and Strait of Malacca—the world's busiest commercial waterway.
Unlike the Somali pirates—who, incidentally, are now almost out of business—the pirates of southern Asia rarely, if ever, seize hostages. They're in the business of stealing cargoes of liquid fuel. And they're often not small-time, ad hoc gangs from coastal villages like the Somali crews. Instead, experts say, they're highly organized criminal enterprises that gather intelligence, coordinate attacks, work in discrete teams, sometimes have their own tankers and then sell what they steal to big, pre-arranged buyers..."
