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!
