Seaborne Anti-Piracy Measures In Pictures

A colleague of mine in the shipping industry recently sent me some images of security measures installed on a new product tanker as a means of deterring boardings in piracy-prone waters. The shots give you some idea of how barbed wire is used.

Hi Daniel,

just read this article on yahoo about pirates attacking the Nicolas.


The fourth stanza reads "It was not the first attack against a Navy ship, but it underscored the fact that most pirates aren't terribly sophisticated, said Roger Middleton, a piracy expert at the British think tank Chatham House."

I wondered how you felt about that comment after highlighting the opposite in your book
