Somali pirates ‘capture’ 20,000-tonne German ship
5th April 2009
The latest hijacking happened on Saturday 400 nautical miles (740 kms) off the southern Somali port of Kismayu, between the Seychelles and Kenya, a regional maritime group said.
Makes you wonder why they send ships into this area, where they know pirates are operating with apparent impunity.
Needless to say, 100 years ago this problem would have already been taken care of.
