Absolutely, faster alert systems and tighter coordination could make all the difference when danger shows up at sea.

A successful rescue is welcome, but preventing these attacks in the first place should receive equal attention, not just emergency response.

Boat operators and passengers should know emergency reporting channels before night trips, while regular patrol visibility may discourage suspected robbers.
