Of course you are right , Antwerp is not on the north sea and 2006 is not modern times which is why a bulk freighter was not involved in a pirate boarding in Feb. 2006 .
Its lucky Liverpool isn't on the North sea or the attempted act of piracy on another bulk freighter in July 2007 would be even more modern.
Though on to other european waters....its lucky Corsica isn't in the straights of Malacca as otherwise pirates would have been doing pirate stuff there in Dec.2008.

Thanks for putting me right as my ignorance might lead me to make simple mistakes when the relevant information is so very easily accesible.
