IMB Weekly Piracy Report now a live report

The International Maritime Bureau has replaced their weekly piracy reports with a live update feed of when and where a pirate attack has taken place.
Example Below:

02.04.2009: 1300 UTC: Posn: 13:51.1N – 051:14.2E, Gulf of Aden.

Two speed boats, blue and white in colour, with 3 or 4 persons onboard approached a bulk carrier underway at over 20 knots. The speed boats came as close as 0.40 nm. The Master sounded the general alarm and whistle. An Indian warship was informed. Two helicopters from Japan and India responded and the pirates aborted their attempt on sighting the helicopters.
