Somali Pirate Flag

Somali Pirates continue to gangster merchant vessels travelling along the African coast. The latest hijacking took place this morning, on a ship bound for Panama.

Somali pirates captured a Panama-flagged ship with 15 Indian crewmen early today off the Tanzanian coast, a maritime watchdog reported.

The ship was sailing to South Africa from the Kenyan port of Mombasa, according to Ecoterra International, an organization monitoring maritime activity in the region.

The vessel “is at present observed to have turned around and obviously is commandeered northwards to Somalia,” Ecoterra said in a statement. “Information from the ground says a pirate group … had captured the vessel and is heading towards Harardhere at the central Somali Indian Ocean coast.”

Over the weekend, Somali pirates seized another Panama-flagged cargo vessel but abandoned it after its 12 Ukrainian crew locked themselves in the engine room and blocked the controls.

Foreign naval powers have deployed dozens of warships since 2008 in a bid to secure the Gulf of Aden, a crucial maritime route leading to the Suez Canal, through which tens of thousands of merchant vessels transit each year. But pirates were gradually extending their area of operations, seizing ships as far east as the Maldives’ territorial waters and as far south as the Mozambique Canal.

According to Ecoterra, the number of hijackings is currently at one of its highest-ever levels, with 23 vessels and more than 400 seafarers being held.

The ship hijacked early today is owned by the United Arab Emirates company Bitumen Invest and managed by a Mumbai-based firm.

How do these ships keep getting caught slippin’? These pirate gangs have been picking these boats off for a minute now!

    GOOD!!!

    I’d be thuggin on the ocean too, if other nations continued to throw toxic waste into the waters.

    The have to hijack these ships to survive, the somali’s made money from fishing. All the fish are dead, and the waters are full of poison.

    I admire the Somalians because they don’t take shyt from people.

    Now THEESE niccas are G’s. And in the name of feeding their babies… all these richer nations should take from their nuclear budgets and feed these starving countries starting with Somalia. The richer Arab nations have been dumping poisons in Somalias fishing regions for years with no recourse and those arrogant Arab folks have destroyed the self syfficiency of Somalia, the world council (or same group prosecuting war crimes) needs to mandat a repayment of UAE to Somalia…

  • REAL4REAL

    Meant mandate, my bad…

  • Somali Ninga

    GOOD!!!!! A$$wipe$ are dumping toxic waste in our waters and Somalis are paying the price for that with deformities and diseases.
    The problem with piracy now is that criminals and alshabab, somali al-qaeda, are getting involved with these activities.

    Piracy mostly takes place in a region of somalia called Puntland. This region is the dryiest and humid in all of Somalia and people’s only way of putting food on the table is by fishing. The govt of Puntland doesn’t put such money into the coastal towns and only focuses on the 4 major cities.

    Co-sign!! Arabs have treated Somalis like $hit in mideast, fought with ethiopia, our enemy, against us during the Ogaden War, funded Siad Brre, the dictator prez who destroyed this country over two decades ago and ofcourse thye dump toxic $hit into our waters, eventhough they’re our Muslim bros&sis. I dont know why Somalis kiss Arab a$$, give their kids Arab names, and try to adopt their culture. SMFH

  • torontosaar

    @ somalininja somalis dont give their kids arab names, they give them name from the Quran! lol theres no such thing as a “somali” name, every name that is given to a somali is derived from an arabic name, which is the language of the Quran! DUHH you should know this lol

  • Kem Wer

    And you say Ethiopia is your enemy? Sounds like “WHITE” Arabs are you enemy as well.

  • Kem Wer

    When we say Arabs, are we talking about the true Arab “indigenous black colored Arab” or “Mutt Arabs” mixed Greek, Iranian, Turkic colonizing ones?

  • Somali Ninga

    No they’re Arab names. these names were there before Islam DUH! Somalis had they’re own culture and had traditional Somali names. it was only until Somalia was introduced to Islam when Somalis had Arab names. Muhammad, Maryam etc are ARAB name while Sharmarke, Idil, Cawo, etc are Somali. Stop kissing Arab a$$ and be proud of your culture.

  • Somali Ninga

    @ Kem Wer
    LOL!!! Yes Arabs are our enemies as well eventhough we Somalis accepted Islam. Somalis have no allies…
