The pirates also tried to hijack a small boat, but the crew fought them off with fire hose and sped away. This ships were all chemical tankers.

These pirates are getting bolder and bolder.
They would target the unguarded ship to demand ransom for releasing the hostages.
Many countries including Japan had send the navy to patrol the shipping lines.
Unfortunately, the pirates are smarter to act only when these navies are not in sight.
