PIRATES attack one small coastal oil tanker every two weeks in the waters off South-east Asia, which remained the world's piracy hotspot in the first quarter of 2015, the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) said on Tuesday.
South-east Asia saw 38 pirate attacks during January-March or 70 per cent of the global total of 54, according to the latest quarterly report by the bureau's Kuala Lumpur-based Piracy Reporting Centre.
