Crews of cargo ships generally go unarmed, for insurance reasons, and they carry cargoes worth many millions of dollars. It's not hard to understand why a group of pirates might choose to take the risk of raiding such a vessel. It's harder to see the logic in what would essentially be a glorified home invasion.
