Traffic continues News from the Somali coast When the sea is not properly guarded, the pirates are interested in everything that floats. An Iranian fishing boat with 23 people on board was recently captured off the coast of Puntland. According to the European Center for Maritime Safety in the Indian Ocean, the ship is now approaching a commercial shipping lane. This may mean that the pirates have made it a base for new attacks. The Somali raiders continue to set a record - since April, their number of attacks on maritime transport has already exceeded a dozen. As always, the lack of coordination between regional and external maritime security structures plays to the pirates' advantage. The time period between the appearance of the information about the capture and the rescue operation can reach up to six months - clearly there is no smell of an effective struggle here. - where politics is hotter than the equator, support us.
