doesn't look so hard to me, especially if you read the comments which contain several encounters with pirates and their outcome
The new generation of privateers would likely consist of maritime private security forces, like Miami's McRoberts Maritime Security. I spoke to Michael Lee, a former Lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard and now McRoberts' Assistant Vice President. Citing Southeast Asia's Malacca Straits as an applicable case study, he said, "A private security company was hired, and over a short period of time, just the show of force decreased piracy."
According to the International Maritime Bureau, pirate attacks dropped from 79 in 2005 to 50 in 2006. And the third quarter of this year, there were just two.
"We're very interested in helping in Somalia," Lee said, adding that his firm "would be willing to donate a portion of the proceeds to Somali hunger relief."
