GREAT! There go the gas prices again
. I don't know how this can happen either. You would think that these companies would staff security on their boats...problem with that is, there are so many laws against it. The US has some of the strictest laws prohibiting firearms on board ships coming into Ports. There has to be some way to change laws to allow security on these ships so that they aren't always getting pirated.
I know if I was a Captain, I would take the risk and probably heavily arm myself if I was going through these unstable countries!
