#1 These last two reports bother me, on the 16th and again on the 19th "Pirates" attacked a tugboat pulling a barge.

At first glance what the hell would they want with a tugboat?

But on second thought I can think of all kinds of nasty stuff a legitimate seeming tug and barge full of explosives could do.

That two tugnoat/barge combos were attacked bothers me greatly, sounds suspiciously like a contract order for one barge/tug combo to be procured and delivered.

#2 Easier to take a tug/barge combo than a ship.
