I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but this is a lot deeper that it looks. Note the lack of any news about the freeing of the ship, or the capture of the pirates, as well as, pointed out, and as I had noticed earlier, the lack of value in the cargo. The ship is worth more in scrap value!
Just something odd…

Definitely something odd in this story. My money is on this being a shipment of weapons to some piss pot middle east country, or to a terrorist group (same thing really). The Israelis got wind of it and fixed the problem in the time honoured Mossad way.
