Six in the last week, I read somewhere. It is odd. Edit - if your theory is correct, Maersk must be very unhappy with those crewmen who were dumb enough to put up a resistance.

Very interesting point. But a larger concern stems from the lessons learned -- or not learned -- from 9/11. Should we apply them to hijacked ships? Remember the days when airline crews were told to cooperate with hijackers and fly them where they wanted to go? What if al-Quaeda sympathizers hijack a few oil tankers -- or LNG or chemical tankers -- and sail them into highly populated, strategic, or volatile industrial ports and either set them ablaze, blow them up, or empty the holds and light the resulting slick? At least one supertanker has already been hijacked and a ransom paid.
