ANTI—PIRACY AWARENESS

MERCHANT MARINE SEAFARERS

„Caret periculo, qui etiam cum est tutus, cavet”

Publilius

Since 2009 the annual amount of pirate incidents has crossed 400! Only

in 2010 there were reported 1270 seafarers who experienced hostage

situation. Some of were taken from the board of vessel.

ABOUT 40% OF THE VESSELS ARE NOT REPORTED AS HIJACKED

Pirates are breaver, better armed and more ruthless as never before.

Using crews as human shield they negotiate ransoms for months. In the

meantime to soften shipowners the torture and even murder the captives

with no mercy.

Currently the Gulf of Aden and Somali Basin are not the borders for the

pirates. They hijack vessels in Omani and even at Indian waters!
