More than 20 nations are expected to contribute to the force, due to be fully operational later in January.
After more than 100 attacks last year, the International Maritime Bureau said increased naval patrols had reduced hijackings in December last year.

If you read reports from Admiral Gortney and the IMB, the monthly average of pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden have already reached last years levels. I am happy the task force is in place but piracy continues.
