Have a look at the last five days worth of piracy incidents.

http://www.icc-ccs.org/home/piracy-r...-piracy-report

Bear in mind, these reports are over just five days.

Looking at the footage of the Chandlers release recently, I was struck by two things:
1. The 'shanty town' appearance of the homes of the 'pirates'.
2. The quantity of 'brand new' 4x4 vehicles parked outside the homes.

I don't have an answer to what could be done to stop the piracy (well, I do, but it is non-PC for me to suggest it). To help, I will say, "When in Rome (pirate land), do what the Romans (pirates) do". I hope you get the drift? (or adrift?).
