AIS and the Straits of Hormuz..
Interesting to see AIS traffic in the ‘Straits...possible being used as a ‘piece of cheese’?

Required on commercial vessels. If the Brit tankers were being used as a piece of cheese they forgot to have a rat terrier ready to pounce on the rat......

Surely step one if you hijack a ship is turn off the AIS?

Rats likely to smart to fall for that? Besides that may get ugly fast.
This is likely to not end well.
