Singapore amongst top places on earth where pirates actively attack

Check out this infograph from a blogger.

Using data from Maritime Safety Information database, blogger John Nelson created the infogram below showing the five most active nautical zones in the world and some interesting patterns.

According to Nelson, except for Singapore, all regions show a pronounced shift in territory through the dozen or so years mapped, most expanding wholesale into waters empty of reported activity four years ago.

Other observations from Nelson include the following:

Somali pirates really go bananas in the spring and autumn months. Winter and summertime activity, particularly in their southernmost haunts (region 61), slows to a crawl. Are there seasonal sorties launched in April and September and we are seeing the wave crash and wash back to base?
Mid-week is generally the most active time (except for the ever-interesting region 61). Three out of five regions share Wednesday as the highest volume day, while Friday is generally slow.
Annual trends since 2001 typically skyrocket, with the exception of the waters around Singapore (region 71) where thoroughfares of piracy have constricted to just around the Singapore Straight.
Three of the top five regions include waters newly patrolled by pirates out of Somalia with an increasing range in recent years.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
