..Also to keep an eye out on the crew. Many of these Somalia hijackings I will bet are inside jobs with the crew sending info…

I doubt if most are, but some certainly are. In one case, A Thai vessel (owned by the same fishing company as the trawler recently sunk by the Indian navy after being hijacked) was hijacked a couple of years ago by three Somali crewmen, who’d smuggled AK-47s aboard. Not for long, though – it was retaken by a USCG boarding party.
