Filipino crewmen outsmart Somali pirates

557 days ago 4 comments Category: Sea Tales & Sea Life Tags: Shipping jobs

The Department of Foreign Affairs has commended eight Filipino seafarers and eight other crew members of the M/V Beluga Fortune, a German-owned cargo ship, for outsmarting Somali pirates and successfully evading capture by the marauders near the Gulf of Aden.
Esteban Conejos, undersecretary of foreign affairs for migrant workers, said the "adoption of best practices by the seafarers saved them from being held captive by the pirates"

November 2010: At least 29 foreign vessels plus one barge are kept in Somali hands against the will of their owners, while at least 510 hostages or captives - including an elderly British yachting couple, the 5 hostages from Somaliland and a woman and man from a yacht - suffer to be released.
