Men with Guns
Cow thinks the Saudi's could have bought an awful lot of armed protection for the money they will now be paying out in ransom.Cow likens hijacking an oil tanker with storming the castle. Don't castle-dwellers have all the inherent advantages of dumping hot tar, shooting arrows and pulling up the drawbridge? How could they squander this advantage?
Look at this thing. Now imagine a small boat, or even a large boat, filled with hijackers, pulling up alongside. The only way Cow thinks they were able to effect this takeover was the way Napoleon conquered the heavily fortified island of Malta. Through treachery.
In the immortal words of Napoleon, "They were sold." Cow just wondering.
Moo!

Astonishing thing is that a huge thing like that just had 25 crew. And not one management consultant!
One of the hijakers infiltrated the big boat and seeded their office files.
Arg!
Kevin: Yeah! Overpower a 25 people and get a payoff of millions of dollars. Understandable why the hijack business is booming!
Sandi: You are wicked! Remind me to watch my back around you!
Moo!
