#2 The deep state pioneered this kind of attack. It's going to become the choice soon. Sneak a merchant ship full of explosives or drones into an enemy port and then blammo.
It's going to make loading a ship worse than boarding a plane.
Thanks, deep state traitors.

#6 I wasn't even talking about this ship.
I just said this is going to be what happens from now on.

#7 That has indeed been a concern since at least the 1990s, Jairong — before that I wasn’t paying attention. It’s not clear to me if our people are so good that attacks have quietly been prevented, whether the attempts were incompetent, or whether the jihadis and other bad actors have been so busy with other projects that they haven’t yet got round to it yet.

But given that I am merely a little suburban housewife in faraway Cincinnati, it’s likely I’ll never find out unless something is exploded on purpose.

According to this Yahoo/Baltimore Sun article posted an hour ago, coal is considered a hazardous cargo because it does spontaneously explode from time to time.
