Somalia: Piraterie ohne Ende

[ArneKiel]

Moin,

dank der BMP (Best Management Practices) konnte erneut ein Piratenüberfall (diesmal auf die THOR NAUTILUS IMO 8701076 - Bj1988 Warnowwerft) verhindert werden....

During the night of the 22 December, the THOR NAUTILUS defeated a pirate attack thanks to the use of BMP (Best Management Practices), proving once again the efficiency of self-protection measures in this high risk area.

The Thai flagged cargo ship was attacked by one skiff, approximately 900 nautical miles North East of the Somali coastal village of Eyl. The vessel was fired upon with machine guns and a boarding was attempted, but failed. The pirates were unable to get through the razor wire which was fitted to sides of the ship. This is an important BMP measure. The pirates eventually gave up the boarding attempts and the vessel is now reported to be safe.

The MV THOR NAUTILUS is a General Cargo ship with a deadweight of 20 000 tonnes and a length of 181 meters.

Hallo Arne
......nun sind wir wieder beim alten Thema (englische Zeitungshinweise) angekommen.
Deshalb gab es hier schon mal mächtigen Zoff im Forum, wenn ich mich nicht täusche ist deswegen einer aus dem Forum gegangen.
Nicht jeder kann den Beitrag lesen lesen. Wenn mein Auge mehrere Zeilen Englisch ließt beachte ich es nicht.

Moin,
"EMS RIVER" IMO 9551662 Flagge: Antigua Barbuda
280 km vor Salalah gekapert.
Es scheint ein nagelneues Schiff zu sein. War es etwa auf der Jungfernfahrt?

Die "Motivator" IMO 9340386 (zuvor gekapert) nutzten die Piraten beim Überfall.
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/pho ... lid=953605
Bereits am 4. Juli gekapert.
Neue Taktik?

Sorry - wenn es keine deutschen Zeitungen gibt, die darüber berichten, bleibt nur die hochoffizielle EU-NAVFOR Seite - da Deutsch nicht die Amtssprache der EU ist - ist die Seite (leider) in Englisch.

Moin,

offenbar wurde die Motivator als Mutterschiff genutzt - die Besatzung der EMS River hatte sich im Schutzraum versteckt
