The issue was around before 2010. We did the run down to haul at Peakes in 2005 and there was plenty of talk about it then. We resisted the lure of cheap fuel and did a wide arc over the Venezuelan islands on the way to Bonaire when we left Trinidad.
Mind you we had also run up the Red Sea a couple of years before that. While not as bad as it has been these past few years there was the odd opportunistic attack even then.
