My insurance adjustor laughed in my face this morning. It seems there will be no end to the rising prices. I think the insurance companies are making a killing off of the current pirate situation. Could just be a conspiracy theory but, I think they are paying the authorities to NOT deal with this. If so, the RBN services may come in handy.

Simple convoys of trading ships may become pirate magnets. We're going to have to start using escorts or the more lucrative trade routes may become too dangerous.
