For example, a supertanker traveling in the South China Sea might be owned by a Saudi Arabian oil company, built in South Korea, registered in Liberia, captained by an Italian, and crewed by Filipinos. And, as reports of attacks on commercial vessels and cruise liners become more common, the topic of modern piracy receives ever-increasing international scrutiny. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis chapter-based reference handbook examines modern piracy from the mid-1970s to today.
