With all the activity in the Gulf of Aden I thought it might be about time to start a Pirates thread. I was just looking at an amazing set of photos taken onboard the Zen Hua 4 as the crew used Molotov Cocktails made from paint to keep the pirates from boarding the superstructure for 5 hours! Looks like one hell of a fight! www.cargolaw.com/2008nightmare_zhen-hua.html

From: www.cargolaw.com/presentations_casualties.phpNetherlands Antilles-registered cargo ship was attacked by 5 pirates in a speedboat in the Gulf of Aden on Jan. 2. Danish anti-piracy navy ship Absalon responded to the call for help and deployed an armed helicopter to the area. The helciopter fired warning shots and the Danish trade ship fired flares at the pirate vessel, which caught fire. The pirates were rescued by the Absalon crew and the pirate vessel was sunk. (Sat. Jan. 3 2009).
