To Solarlife and 'experts';
What you guys know about piracy anyway, for sake of good understanding here, I had passed unharmed as well my ship, chem tanker, own by one of the biggest in World's chem shipping owning business abt 26th-29th Sept in gulf of Aden, off shore Jemen and Somalia on our way to Suez from Malyasia. Here we are facing a great and present danger of obstructing and big time affecting business and commercial trading routes. Been there, seen boats attempting to attack us, and you are talking abt 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ?? Yes, we haven't seen any Coalition forces ther, few helies only. Hell of a 'no sleeping' nights wandering if I'm gonna spend my vacation at home or in Somalia or perhaps got killed....
You have no clue....
=================================================
Nine suspected Somali pirates have been captured by the French navy and handed over to regional officials in northern Somalia, the authorities there say.Patrolling French marines arrested the pirates in the Gulf of Aden after intercepting two boats on Wednesday, officials in Puntland said.
It comes as the International Maritime Bureau said the waters off Somalia were the world's worst for pirate attacks.
Pirates believed they can act with impunity, the monitoring agency said.
Nato ships are expected in the region in the coming days to escort aid ships through the dangerous waters.
But a spokesman said a precise time for the fleet's arrival could not be given because of delays caused by a violent storm that has sunk boats and killed livestock in northern Somalia.
'Robust action'
The crew of a French warship picked up the suspected pirates and handed them over to the authorities in semi-autonomous Puntland on Wednesday, Puntland's presidential adviser Bile Mohamoud Qabowsade said.

SOLARLIFE, I like this story. It's good stuff. KNowing the Blackwater will now be patrolling these waters perhaps something will be done, as Blackwater Security are known to blow anyone out of the water if they even spy a AK 47 on any boat approaching them.
I bet US forces are breathing a sigh of relief, cause if the US forces blew a pirate ship outta the water, there would be hell to pay in the world opinion and media, everything from the Politically correct Bleeding hearts, politicians looking to make brownie points. I say hell with them, blow em outta the water.
