I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

There is a significant amount of piracy in the Malacca Straits and South China Seas.

There are also issues in other parts of the Indian Ocean besides Somalia.

Many years ago my father was subject to an attempted pirate attack. They were alert and noticed when they picked to a floating rope. A pair of junks were then swept alongside only to be met with high pressure steam hoses.

Game set and match.
