Somali pirates looted by suspected anti-ship tanker out to sea storm

According to the Russian "view report" on Sept. 15 reported Sept. 12 a group of pirates driving nearly 30 tons of crude oil contains the "three lakes Dream" was a giant oil tankers from South Korean east coast of Somalia near the port of Niagara Card sea Some analysts believe that this is not only against Somali pirates come up with escort warships countries can protect themselves against marauding sea the new method. With the protection of the tanker, the pirates will no longer worry about their escort ships will attack, because this will happen if a huge ecological disaster.

It is reported that tanker driving Somali pirates April 4 this year in the Gulf of Aden to the south of the Somali waters east of the South Korean giant oil tanker hijacked "three lakes Dream" was on board American companies purchased nearly 30 million tons of Iraqi oil worth at least $ 170,000,000. As the pirates demanded a ransom is too high, the relevant aspects of the negotiations very difficult, no breakthrough so far, 24 crew members are South Korean citizens, 5, and the remaining 19 were Filipino citizens, who complain that harsh treatment by the pirates. Analysis of Russian ecological experts Nikitin said the driving Somali pirates hijacked tanker out to sea, presumably to continue looting, attacks on other vessels, but do not worry too much about escort ships would be subjected to fire back, even though the military near the east coast of Somalia boats, but may not dare to implement the military escort storm and regain oil tankers, oil tankers or the pirates will blow up in time, if large spill of crude oil on board, will result in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill can be compared with the enormous ecological disaster. In addition, the pirate-infested Somali waters rich in fishery resources, once the nearly 30 million tons of crude oil leakage, will cause large fish kills, which led to a large number of bird habitats in the vicinity of death, not only will bring irreparable ecological damage.

May even affect the natural climate change. Somalia sea pirates looting the giant oil tanker drivers whom no accident, there are many countries infested waters in their fishing for huge profits, while the Somali fishermen because of their scarcity and competitive equipment in this area is not active, the pirates other countries may attempt to expel the vessels.

However, the Russian Navy, retired Rear Admiral Xienaciji that may be related to the Somali pirates hijack another ship by a giant oil tanker is not credible to say, because the tanker is too large, length 250 meters wide and 65 meters, a displacement of 319,430 tons, is simply a floating island, clumsy, slow, not chasing other ships. The main purpose of the pirates might be in order to protect their own safety, because virtually impossible to regain escort tanker ships, because in the case of extremely complex risk in any case will never be allowed to take any military action, or the boarding of pirates in the back totally time to blow up oil tankers, all oil will leak into the high seas, causing incalculable damage. Xienaciji speculated that there might be progress in the negotiations, Somali pirates have demanded a huge ransom soon, and then heading inland boat, after a ransom hand will quickly disappear.
