Hijacked Chinese bulk carrier arrives off coastline of Somalia
(Xinhua) -- The Hijacked Chinese Bulk Carrier DE XIN HAI is confirmed to have arrived off the coast of Somalia and is now in the vicinity of Hobyo, the EU NAVFOR said on Thursday. It is not yet known if the pirates have contacted the owners and made their demands known. EU NAVFOR maritime patrol aircraft has monitored the ship in the area of the hijacking.
The pirates have been venturing real far afield to grab their prey, thereby slipping the force patrolling the Gulf. This kinda tactical change is usually followed by a corresponding tactical change on the other side.
