#4 Self serving congratulations by the IMB. The sea state had more to do with it. Open air go-fasts (well sort of go-fast with twin 40HPs)do not do very well at all with rough water. Monsoons have been a factor --- but on board security, I admit is a much better deterrant than fake dummies "on watch" and fire hoses. The navies ---- not so sure of at all.

#5 This means less opportunity to board and examine cargo while 'searching' for pirates among the container stacks. Perhaps preplanned interdiction on the open seas is a costly deterrent.

#6 The assholes are now claiming"It's all a Mistake, we were just minding our own business" Yeah sure, and ignoring the Navy's signals, bet you won't ignore them now.
