MODERN PIRATES

John Burnett was sailing alone across the South China Sea one night in 1992, when his small yacht was attacked
by armed pirates. He could have been seriously hurt or killed, but fortunately, he survived. Later he went on to
write a book, in which he described his frightening experience with modern-day pirates.
Burnett, a journalist and writer, decided to do research on the issue of modern pirates. He was shocked to
discover that piracy is not a thing of the past, but still exists in the modern world. In fact, the number of pirate
attacks on large ships, yachts and small boats is increasing yearly at an alarming rate. Burnett learned that
modern-day pirates are brutal, violent criminals, who attack ships on the open seas. They steal whatever they can
get their hands on, and threaten the lives of the crew. Piracy has also become a serious economic issue that costs
shipping companies billions of dollars.
Many pirates operate in busy international waters, near Indonesia in the Far East and Somalia in Africa. Some
pirates are only interested in robbing the crew on board the boat or ship, but other pirates are affiliated with
international crime organisations and they are interested in the ship itself. After boarding the ship they send the
crew and passengers off in lifeboats and sail away with the ship. Later, the ship is repainted, given a new name
and used for drug running or other illegal activities.
Until now, international efforts to stop piracy haven’t been successful. There are various reasons for this. Firstly,
well-known pirate regions are huge and difficult to patrol. Secondly, since piracy takes place in international
waters, it’s almost impossible to prosecute the pirates that are actually caught. Therefore, the best way to fight
modern-day piracy is prevention. Ships’ captains must avoid unsafe areas where pirate activity takes place. If
they can’t avoid these areas, they should sail through them at full speed and take massive security precautions.
Despite all of this, if a ship is attacked, the pirates should be given whatever they demand so as not to endanger
the passengers and crew on board.
We may imagine that pirates are handsome, lovable characters like the pirate Jack Sparrow from the popular
Pirates of the Caribbean films. But in reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Today’s pirates are violent
and extremely dangerous and mustn’t be taken lightly.
