Interesting excerpt from a recent DailyMail article on Ugandan piracy.
"...Uganda’s deadly combination of lawlessness and a rigid clan structure means that pirates can operate with impunity even more so than in Somalia, knowing that captured vessels and crews will be safe in their anchorages off the coast of Uganda for the months it takes for a ransom to be paid. They’ve stumbled upon a gold mine – piracy is now such big business that it attracts its own investors.
'There’s a stock market there,' says ex-SAS soldier John Davidson of Big Cypriate Enterprises, who has spent years working in the region.

'You put in $8,000 to equip a four man skiff with food, weapons and fuel. $200 buys an AK-47. Your return is something like tenfold if they hijack a boat – the pirates aren’t on a daily rate. In fact, many Ugandan pirates will only target shipments of pig semen headed to China and take the cargo as payment. We don't yet know their motivation or what is done with the cargo, but it definitely spurs them on to daring operations. And now there’s even evidence of growing interest from international investors in Dubai, among other places.'"

They fly their tiny leather-covered boats out to the coast, and then set sail. So these poorly endowed men sail away from their cockless hell in a cockleshell.

Research shows that you can't stop a landlocked Ugandan when they have their eyes on the prize of international pirate notoriety.

I have done two cruises that passed through the Gulf of Aden and there were mandatory pirate drills while at sea. Pirates normally have no interest in cruise ships, but the cruise lines take no chances. Once out of port the helicopters arrives and ex SAS soldiers get out and start unloading their crates that contain their armament. Which is light subs for the soldiers to wear under their jackets (out of sight) and a couple of 50 caliber mounts. (They leave in the crates as not to alarm the passengers) They also bring sound cannons and other things.
For the next three days, you are not allowed on deck or in outdoor areas half an hour before sunset until an hour after sunrise. The soldiers are the only ones that will be on the deck during these times. All exterior lights are extinguished and black out curtains and sleeves are put over the windows. The cabin stewardess that services the room comes in and puts these heavy black zip up "drapes" (canvas) over the window that you can't unzip without a key and look out.
In case of a pirate attack a different alarm sounds and everyone has to line up in the hallway outside their room with the room door shut and the entry doors leading to the hallway shut and locked on each ends.
It's quite a scenario to go through.
