Thinking about it more, if you hijacked a ship like this you could just aim it at a friendly beach and steam in, straight at it. Loads of the containers would end up on shore and the rest could be stripped by many hands. Whisky Galore but with large calibre machine guns and Gucci watches.

Apparently it's not Somali pirates they have to worry about. It's the Gulf of Guinea and (mainly) Nigerian pirates. Who knew? They even get their own wikipedia page.

that's why a lot of them choose a life of crime and end up in jail.

Why would you spend ages bringing in whatever equipment this requires, embedding it appropriately in whatever geology lies beneath the desert, when you've got several easily movable ~3,000hp tugboats available on scene already?

None of the regular crew...security personnel are just put on for the most dangerous sections, and they are generally unarmed. Armed security guards are very close to being mercenaries.
I wonder if the money would be enough...

my mate talked about this at this at the time.
He was nearly always armed even when not ‘officially’ it’s all very dodgy.
This could be the plot of a disappointing Neal Stephenson book.

More like, hook up 20 or 30 Skycranes to the ship and fly it away
ETA Obviously tongue in cheek post, but 20 of them pulling up whilst every tug available pushes might just do the trick

In you learn something new every day news..,
Panama are the leaders in the world shipping stakes. That's not news. But in 2nd place are...the Marshall Islands. (Third is an unsurprising Liberia but sixth is weirdly Malta).
Anyway, the mighty Marshall Islands. Second in tonnage and first in oil tankers.
Only trouble for those islands is it's all decentralised and the government get bugger all (relatively) of the money from it.

If needs be they could nuke it - vaporise the ship and voila, the shipping lane is clear.
