Sino sasama sa ShoreLeave?

19/12/2023

A Bulgarian bulker, the Ruen, hijacked in the Arabian Sea, is now off Somalia's coast. The Indian Navy and EU Operation Atalanta are involved. The ship's AIS signals its position near Abo, Puntland. The hijacking, reminiscent of past Somali piracy, occurred far from shore. The crew is safe, but the shipowner expects contact from kidnappers. Uncertainty surrounds the incident's connection to Yemen or Somali piracy resurgence. This marks a potential return of large vessel captures by Somali pirates, posing a renewed threat despite previous security efforts. Recent incidents include a seized fishing vessel and the U.S. blaming Somali pirates for boarding the tanker Central Park. Security warnings are issued for ships off the Somali coast until December 17.
