Piracy has moved West, meaning that the Gulf of Guinea is now the region where shipowners and crews risk losing cargos, life, and limbs if their ship becomes the object of the pirates' affection. As a result, the Danish Maritime Officers union is now calling for increased protection of mariners on board the ships, just as the shipowners' association estimated in March that the region calls for anti-piracy efforts. But there's no guarantee that the measures employed in fighting piracy in Somalia are sufficient in this region.
