#1 Note,
In all reports, no guns.
Must either have a different bunch of Pirates, or as I mentioned when they were stealing "Engine Spares" engine troubles.

#3 More likely the professionals are laying low. The Straits of Mallacca and other places are under patrol. The amateurs/part-timers and the low-level crooks are out for now.

I suspect that the pros will wait until things calm down, the patrol patterns can be figured out, and who can be bribed.

#5 Essentially.

An aside: China has been working up alternatives to moving oil and such through the Straits of Mallaca.
