Piracy today
The prototype of the pirate of the Caribbean that popularized the cinema no longer exists. Buccaneers are no longer English or French who, with their parrots and their eye patches, assaulted ships, especially from the seas of America. The modern pirate dresses like any young man. Even if you live in the Horn of Africa in Somalia or the Gulf of Nigeria.
With the spoils of his prey, he can allow himself to watch satellite TV and be informed of what is happening in Europe or America. He looks like a normal young man in his jeans and trendy jerseys or team jerseys from any mass sport, usually soccer.
Although sometimes they use fishing boats to go unnoticed or to monitor without raising suspicions. But at any moment they can appear in outboard boats with powerful engines, moving at full speed and quickly surrounding their prey.
Their food can be vacuum packed and carry fuel for weeks, allowing them to spend a long time following their prey.
They are not sailing ships, nor are they oriented by the compass. The best naval technology is at your disposal and use GPS to orient yourself. They no longer use those primitive pistols, muskets, or daggers. Now they have modern weapons, military rifles or the famous AK 47, and they can also surprise you with a grenade launcher or a rocket that you did not expect.
And if you or your ship are unlucky enough to be hijacked, you will have to go to the City of London to pay the ransom.
The islands that already had a reputation as pirate havens have been renovated and are now Tax Havens. Some have even been known for 500 years and are currently working as residences in Tax Havens: Cayman Islands, Bermuda Islands, Bahamas, Jersey Island, Gibraltar, Isle of Man etc.
The City of London continues to be influential in collecting ransoms and conducting special operations.
