"Oceans filled with nothing but - pirates!'

Best use of "pirates" in a non-ship capturing manner in this report on the collapse of the bulk shipping market here:

The chart depicts a plunge unlike we’ve ever seen, and tells a tale of woe, woe, woe on the water. Essentially, contracts for bulk shipping evaporated, leaving the oceans filled with nothing but – pirates!

Nicely done. Though a little depressing for the shipping industry.
