Weekly Piracy Report for 27 December 2004 to 3 January 2005
Quiet in SE Asia, given the disaster. However, the following is notable:
02.01.05 at 0730 LT in posn: 26:13.2N - 056:52.2E, Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf / Arabian Sea.
Several persons armed with guns in six blue speedboats about 6 - 8 meters long crossed a container ship from starboard to port. They were dressed in black clothes with facemasks. D/O raised alarm and crew mustered and activated fire hoses. Boats followed the ship but later moved away. Firehoses? With AK's as cheap as they are in Peshawar? |
