G'day,

Everything from recreational sailing boats off on a jaunt around the
world
to top of the line super tankers. From the reports I've seen all
nations,
all ship sizes, all cargo types have been targeted and if anything
they're
getting more daring as time goes on. Classic example was shown on a doco
on
Aussie ABC TV not to long back, they took a large cargo vessel then
stemmed
into port under a false name that they'd painted on in white rather
hurriedly after painting over the raised letters of the real name in
black.... it was oh sooooo obvious ;)
