This is really sick.More than 200 held hostages by Somalia pirates.Which includes,Chinese,Taiwanese and Germans.Wat da fuck.All the super powers cannot break this Humpty Dumptey sitting pretty in the seas.Why not arm the crew & the captains.If airlines could have armed air marshals,why not sea going vessels too ?

The best way to stop piracy is to stop pirates climbing the ships.I say shoot em man-shoot them at sight.

The vessels should hire special guards, preferably sniper qualities to protect them when crossing such seas. Pay a small sum then paying a ransom.

<style></style>Good idea.


I say give the captain and crew some small arms like AK47 and trained military personal stationed in the ship perhaps from the country of the ship's flag a bazooka or rocket launcher..just blow up any boat approaching the ship.So that Somalian pirates would pee at the sight of merchant vessels.

Ok,I have this idea.Anyone willing to put money.

There are lot of ex Gurkha servicemen retired in Nepal unhappy.Why not operate some sort of security service for ships crossing somalian waters using these daredevils.

Ah,only the question of international maritime law must be addressed.

Good idea! Those pirates should hire Gurkhas and other mecenaries to hijack the vessels instead.:smile:

Back in the days of the "pirates of the Caribbean" the pirates extinction was due to the governments that supports it turned on them so overnight they changed from national-sanctioned privateers into national outlaws.

quote....

The buccaneers became so strong that the merchant ship captains insisted that their countries put a stop to the pirates. They did not offer much help, but did offer what is called amnesty to all pirates if they would stop being pirates. That means that they would be forgive of their crimes without being punished. Most pirates just laughed and dared the countries to come stop them. In 1717 British Captain Woodes Rogers was sent to defeat the pirates. He played a trick on the buccaneers by trapping them in their harbor at New Providence. New Providence is in the Bahamas. Over one thousand pirates were trapped there and a big battle began. In the end Captain Woodes Rogers defeated the pirates.
