Pirates: Not just in the movies

Piracy is still a problem along coastlines around the world. How can you find out more information?

The International Chamber of Commerce’s Commercial Crime Services division publishes a Weekly Piracy Report that summarizes incidents reported to the International Marine Bureau (IMB). The IMB also publishes an online live piracy map that shows where attacks and attempted attacks have happened.

An interesting note: Piracy occurs more often in Indonesia and Somalia than in the Caribbean.
