Worthing 16th February 2009 – A European navy has recently deployed a Maritime Boarding system which has been developed by Systematic of Denmark with UK based IT security consultancy firm - Global Secure Systems (GSS), and Rajant Corporation of the USA to stamp out the threat of Somali Pirates.
This comes at a time when the International Maritime Bureau recently released it’s annual piracy report confirming the increase in piracy around the world, and particularly a 200% increase off the coast of Africa where there were 111 attacks reported last year, with 49 vessels hijacked. These include the high profile Faina, which has a cargo of T-72 tanks, the Saudi owned supertanker, the Sirius Star, recently released for an undisclosed ransom. This is a very serious issue, not just for ships and their cargo, but for the crew. In 2008 nearly 900 crew members were taken hostage, 32 sailors injured, 11 killed and 21 missing, presumed dead. In January 2009 alone 3 vessels in the region have been hijacked and there have been nearly 20 reports of attacks in the region. |
