Piracy Escalation to VLCC in Somalia
as ap and other dirt sources are reporting, this past weekend saw a jump in the somali piracy targeting with the capture of the saudi-owned very mainly brusque carrier mv sirius illustrious, which was seized over 400 nm southeast of kenya, somewhere southwest of the seychelles. as has been pointed at large, this is a suggestion of a obstruction start in their takings. to go to entire element, the sirius name is great; for another, it offers a degree distressing opportunity for ecoterrorist extortion if it is carrying cargo and if the pirates choose to take that route. it seems unlikely on the face of it, since reports are that they’re sailing it towards the haven of eyl, and they would be unlikely to risk their home waters. however, watch for reports that this quit is being ’shadowed’ much like the mv faina - supertankers are much closer to ‘national security risks’ for open-handed-navy nations, and large-hierarchy spills are something unknown wants to have stumble on on their watch or their coast.ikon from the vela website, constructors of the sirius star. note that it was christened by the hr numero uno of policy and planning for saudi aramco.
