[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 433603, member: 12952"] The area is too large to contain, that super tanker was thought to be quite safe with its high sides and being 400+ miles offshore. With all the ransom monies paid to date these pirates have "friends" in every port and most likely onboard many ships as well. There is over 2000 miles of coastline in this region with almost no local enforcement; Yemen has only 15 ships in its navy; 9 in operation , & only two deep water boats. Using force to retake a ship is not very effective. Using force to destroy all captured ships and the coastal regions where they are moored would be a better lesson. When the pirates see their paychecks going up in smoke, their harbors ruin, and oil from ships washing up in the beaches then maybe the message will get to them . [/QUOTE]
