| Somali pirates hijack ship with 23 crew members |
| 2011-02-14 |
| NAIROBI, Kenya - Somali pirates hijacked a ship with 23 crew, and a Danish warship freed a hijacked Yemeni fishing vessel that had been held for nearly a year, maritime authorities said on Sunday. The Maltese-flagged bulk carrier MV Sinin had 13 Iranians and 10 Indians onboard when it came under attack Saturday, the European Union Naval Force said. The ship subsequently lost communications and a maritime patrol aircraft photographed two skiffs onboard the vessel. The MV Sinin was taken about 350 miles (560 kilometers) east of Masirah in Oman. |

| #2 Maybe that's exactly why the cruse ships are NOT attacked, also I understand many have skeet shooting off the afterdeck and these Pirates are cowards. |

| #1 nobody cares too much because they refuse to solve the piracy problem on land where it is easy to fix. nobody cares about seafarers... they are all from 3rd world cesspits these days where labour is cheap. But people will care when - and the day will come - when a cruise ship with rich old westerners is hijacked. 3000 pensioners from the UK, US, Germany, Belgium etc... then the world will go nuts |
