Pirate Corner

Recommended Posts

There have been so many pirate related stories I think they deserve their own corner something like the troll corner :D

 

Somali pirates capture supertanker taking oil to US

 

The Greek-owned Maran Centaurus was about 1,300km (800 miles) off Somalia when it was hijacked on Sunday, said the EU Naval task force (Navfor).

 

The ship was full of oil and is believed to be one of the largest yet seized by Somali pirates. There are 28 crew members on board.

 

Pirate attacks have been common off the Somali coast and international navies have been deployed to counter them.

 

A spokesman for the Greek coastguard told Reuters news agency that about nine armed pirates attacked the ship close to the Seychelles.

Pirates in Somalia are a necessity for bigger (highly benefiting) projects to global powers and even less powerful ones. Without pirates, they'll be no gain for those in Somalia's offshores.

 

Hence why the so-called pirates are captured, treated and released.

 

While some cry with fakery about some Somali family in the UK out no fault of their own, alot is being gained at the expense of Somalia.
