Ah, that's super interesting. The systemic issues make sense but I do wonder about incursions from foreign powers (e.g. Chinese fishing trawlers in W. Africa) but maybe these belong to a different category of issue. RE Security & Pricing - that's fascinating. I would have expected this to be a standard business affiliated with the big insurers and run out of the big private contracting companies (e.g. Academi). Most of the tech I've seen is also for close proximity to the boat (e.g. water cannons, slippery mesh, stun grenades), is it because the ships can't engage until the pirates are very obviously going to attack? In my head I'm imagining patrols of swarm drones that drop boat trap nets before the boats can get very close to the ship But all this is really cool, thanks for the response!
