Ninety Percent of Everything: Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry That Puts Clothes on Your Back, Gas in Your Car, and Food on Your Plate
by Rose George

She is a very good writer, who spent a few months on a cargo carrier, one of the ships of the famous Maersk line.
And she shows, indeed, why 90% of everything we use in our daily lives comes to us by cargo ship now.

There is a whole section about pirates, from the point of view of the ship owners/crew, and of the pirates and of the various governments who try to control them.

If you are one of those who enjoy " How things work" type of books, this is a good one.

best of all, like 90% of my books, this one is a hardcover, on amazon, for one penny plus 3.99 for shipping.
