Why do the Ships not arm themselves while traveling off the coast of Somalia? - ships
Perhaps 5 armed guards on board at all times while in a dangerous area. When fighting the ship, they reduce their chances kidnapped. With night vision devices and weapons.
Perhaps before any ship of this zone, the soldiers of the army of his country must be complied with on board his ship comes against the Pirates in the event of a threat to fight happened. Im sure that the UN can only happen by 5 armed soldiers for these ships, only until they are in the safety zone.
How do you manage your thoughts?

ReplyDelete1) "security".
If you're carrying thousands of gallons of oil, liquefied petroleum gas, chemicals or hazardous materials, explosives, the last thing you need is a stray spark.

2) Assurance.
Most insurers, for some reason - (I'm sure # 1 is a) - does not work.
.
3) international law.
Most countries will not allow his ship - and his office - the entrance, so it is with weapons. The ships have more stations are gas stations and supplies from the starting point and destination.

4) To prevent an arms race.
Some estimates suggest that the Somali pirates a war chest of $ 80,000,000.00 USD accumulated literal. You can buy weapons, bigger and better than their civilian Merchant marine.

Costs 5).
In this phase, companies and insurance companies have paid hackers are quietly (ergo the $ 80 million). With the weapons on board, the pirates, and despair are the following: a) mortal, and b) begins to sink ships. Depending on the load, which could be a loss of U.S. $ 100,000,000.00. It is a ship.

6) The piracy is a scourge on the basis of the country.
It springs from the earth. It is an established doctrine, centuries of experience, you can not eliminate piracy. It's like annoying flies wasps each, without doing themselves with the pot. The eradication will only work on the land solutions that are not from the sea cloak and sword, while entertaining film plots, which have proved in vain, as the policy.

(In Somalia, piracy"started by accident." Meet Somalia is a failed state, the international fishing trawlers have begun poaching in the waters of Somalia to oust the legitimate Somali fishermen legally. Frustrated help fishermen from Somalia without a government (Navy or Coast Guard), was for thieves to fish repel. They were armed to fight off foreign invaders fishing boats. On the way, the "discovered" Hmmm ... It seems that you can earn more money so much of the work of [guess])

Cheers, mate!

It comes down to money.
ReplyDeleteThe decent weapons and armed guards are not cheap and shipping companies want to travel as cheaply as possible so that they can make the most of the companies.
And the UN? Who will pay for it, let alone agree to it? The UN is too divided to do more than write "letters.
There's really no easy way to stop the threat of pirates, really just trying to resolve Somalia again. And the last time we tried to do something disastrous. You remember Blackhawk Down?
They were just talking over the radio the other day and someone who has worked on a ship, as saying to her, she could not say who they are when they come to you, and do not pull on people at random .
ReplyDeleteI do not know what he said, but she only said it was not possible. Oh, and that most of the time, the number of crew of pirates.
I totally agree! Also, the private guards who were working on each ship to be a good idea. The Navy has proposed some time ago, but nobody listens. Another method could be used to treat this time of the war, these ships and arms like the dealers in the Second World War and traveling in convoys.
ReplyDeleteAt CBS, we were discussing the arming of private ships. The sailors Shipping. Merchant ships should not be armed by the sailors. Seafarers must be trained in weapons and the School of the dealers do not. You can travel a private contractor to hire, but merchant ships are not armed.
ReplyDeleteFive armed guards would be expensive. The shot in night vision and price increases. There are hundreds of ships through the Gulf of Aden each week, so the idea viable. Not a bad idea ... only practice.
ReplyDeleteIt would be too expensive to equip a ship with weapons and trained to use equipment.
ReplyDeleteI think you enter a port convoys, as if we were in World War II, probably with escorts from the United Nations.
