MOGADISHU, Somalia, Nov. 8 (UPI) -- Attacks on shipping by increasingly sophisticated Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean reached record levels in the first nine months of the year, the International Maritime Bureau says.
Indian shipowners, who have been increasingly hit as pirates have extended their raids up to 1,500 nautical miles east of the gulf, deep into the India Ocean, say the piracy scourge is costing the global shipping industry more than $9 billion a year.
U.S. risk management company Aon reports there has been a 267 percent year-on-year increase in attacks in the Arabian Sea.
