Despite the international naval presence off the coast of Somalia, full protection against pirates cannot be given to all the tankers and cargo ships sailing in the Gulf of Aden. Unatoč međunarodna pomorska prisutnost izvan obale Somalije, puna zaštita protiv gusara ne može se dati na sve tankere i teretnih brodova jedrenje u zaljevu Aden. However, there’s an alternative being offered that does not involved the use of warships. Ipak, postoji alternativa se ponudila da ne sudjeluju u uporabi ratni brodovi. A company called Anti-Piracy Maritime Security Solutions (APMSS) uses non-lethal methods to prevent pirate attacks. Tvrtka se zove borbi protiv piratstva Pomorski sigurnosnih rješenja (APMSS) koristi ne-smrtonosno metode kako bi spriječio napade pirata.

Nick Davis, chief executive of the firm, spoke from London to VOA English to Africa Service reporter Joe De Capua about why piracy has grown to be a serious problem in the Gulf of Aden. Nick Davisa, glavnog izvršnog je firma, govorio je iz Londona na engleskom jeziku VOA na Afrika Service reporter Joe De Capua o tome zašto piratstvo je odrastao biti ozbiljan problem u zaljev Aden.

“Primarily because of the amount of ships that are…transiting the area. "Prije svega zato što je iznos od brodova koji su ... tranzitira području. Obviously, it is a pinch point to the Suez Canal. Očito, riječ je o uštip pokažite na Sueski kanal. So, there’s an average of between…50 and 70 ships a day using the canal. Dakle, ima u prosjeku ... između 50 i 70 brodova dnevno pomoću kanala. Then you have those at anchorage. Onda imate one na sidrištu. And with the busy Arabian Peninsula, you get them from all directions. A s zauzet arapskom poluotoku, dobivate ih iz svih smjerova. So, incredibly busy area…certainly a lucrative one, as the pirates can see,” he says. Dakle, nevjerojatno zauzeto područje ... sigurno jedan unosan jedan, kao pirati mogu vidjeti ", kaže.

All of the APMSS methods are non-lethal. Sve od APMSS metode su ne-smrtonosno. Davis says, “We don’t carry weapons at all. Davis kaže: "Mi ne nose oružje na sve. We use acoustic devices, which are basically long-distance, very directional, loud hailing systems. Mi smo koristili akustične uređaje, koji su u osnovi dugo udaljenost, vrlo pravcima, glasno Grad pada sustava. And these emit…150 decibels over a distance of about a nautical mile…. I ove uputiti ... 150 decibels preko udaljenosti od oko nautičku milju .... And to give you an idea of…the human pain threshold for sound is 121 decibels. A kako bi vam dali ideju za ljudske boli ... prag za zvuk je 121 decibels. So, it’s pretty excruciating when you get within a short distance of this equipment, firing warning tones and messages at you.” Dakle, to je prilično bolan kada se u sklopu male udaljenosti, a ove opreme, plamena tonove upozorenja i poruke na vas. "

So far, he says that APMSS has been 100 percent successful and gives a recent example. Dosad, kaže da APMSS je 100 posto uspješan i daje primjer. “We ourselves had an encounter with pirates last Thursday in the Gulf of Aden, where our teams managed to…thwart and repel an attack by pirates that did come quite close to the vessel. "Mi sami imali susreta s piratima, prošlog četvrtka u zaljev Aden, gdje su naši timovi uspio ... kos i suzbijati napada od strane gusara koji su došli sasvim blizu broda. But once we activated the evasive maneuvers and increased the speed of the ship and had all the fire hoses going and used the magnetic audio device, the acoustic device that we had on board, then the pirates just turned…and went for a vessel that was unarmed further south behind us,” he says. Ali jednom smo uključili izbjegavajući manevrima i povećao brzine broda i imao sva crijeva vatra ide i koristi se magnetska audio uređaj, akustički uređaj koji smo imali na brodu, a zatim pirati samo okrenuo ... i otišao na brod koji je nenaoružan dalje južno iza nas, "kaže on.

As the piracy problem escalated in the Gulf of Aden, ship owners faced the prospect of paying millions of dollars extra in insurance premiums. Kao problem piratstva eskalirala u zaljev Aden, vlasnika broda s kojim se suocavaju buduće plaćati milijune dolara dodatnih premija osiguranja u. But says the cost of APMSS is much, much cheaper. No, riječ je trošak APMSS je mnogo, mnogo jeftinije. “The cost of our service is $20,000 and that’sa fairly small price to pay to have an effective security solution on board,” he says. "Cijena naših usluga je 20000 dolara i To je relativno mala cijena za platiti da su učinkoviti rješenje sigurnost na brodu", kaže.

Analysts have said that international naval vessels are too few in number to provide full protection for all the ships sailing in the Gulf of Aden. Analyst imati je rekao da međunarodna pomorska plovila su previše u broju pružiti punu zaštitu za sve brodove jedrenje u zaljevu Aden. “They’re there with great big warships manned with between 300 and 700 people on board them. "Oni se s velikom veliki ratni brodovi punktove s između 300 i 700 osoba na brodu njih. So, we’re effectively a three-man team with the necessary security equipment and experience to repel attacks. Dakle, mi smo zapravo tri čovjeka s tim potrebne sigurnosne opreme i suzbijati napada na iskustvo. And our teams are embarked on these ships…. A naši timovi su krenula na ove brodove .... And they’re on board for 48 hours and then they get off again,” he says. A oni na brodu za 48 sata, a zatim se ponovo sići, "kaže on.

However, Davis says that no matter how much security is provided to ships, the solution to the Somali piracy problems lies in a political solution to the crisis in the country, which includes “infrastructure regeneration to the Somali people. Međutim, Davis kaže da bez obzira koliko je određeno za sigurnost brodova, rješenje za probleme kriminaliteta somalijski leži u političkoj rješenje za krizu u zemlji, koji uključuje i "obnovu infrastrukture do Somali people. Where they have no government, they have no ability to control their waters.” Gdje oni nemaju vladu, oni nemaju mogućnost kontrole njihovim vodama. "

He adds that poverty is a driving force behind the piracy attacks in the Gulf of Aden. On dodaje da siromaštva je pokretačka snaga iza piratstva napada u zaljev Aden. “You know, these people (pirates) live in mud huts on the beach. "Znaš, ti ljudi (pirati) žive u blatu huts na plaži. So, they’re not really aware of what’s going on in the world. Dakle, da to nije stvarno svjesni što se događa u svijetu. All they see is these ships that come in, these big fish factory ships that have sucked up all the tuna so that they can’t catch a single fish anymore. Sve se vidi da je ovih brodova dolazi u ove velike ribe tvornicu brodova koji su sisao sve tune tako da ne mogu uhvatiti jednu ribu više. And these nice ships, moving cargo around the world that pay Egypt for the use of the canal…pay them nothing at all. A ovo lijepo brodova, premještanja tereta iz cijelog svijeta da Egipat plati za korištenje kanala ... ih platiti ništa. And yet it’s destroyed their coastal development and abilities to earn money,” he says. A ipak, to je njihov uništeni obalnom razvoju i sposobnosti da zaradite novac, "kaže on.
Davis adds, “They’re not out to be violent and killing crews…. Davis dodaje, "Oni ne bude nasilja i ubijanje posade .... They need money. Oni trebaju novac. They’re desperate for money and the money is shared within the communities. Oni očajnički za novac, a novac se dijeli unutar zajednice. Yes, there are a couple of kingpin warlords that are controlling it all, but they are distributing the wealth along the coastline to the different villages and groups.” Da, postoji nekoliko element warlords da su to sve kontroli, ali su distribucije bogatstva uz obalu do sela i različite skupine. "

Piracy off the Somali coast has been a threat to international shipping since the beginning of Somalia’s civil war in the early 1990s.

Ninety percent of the World Food Programme’s shipments arrive by sea, and ships have required a military escort. Devedeset posto Svjetskog programa hrane i roba mora doći, a brodovi su potrebna vojna pratnja. According to the Kenyan foreign minister, Somali pirates have received over $150 million (US dollars) in ransom money during the 12 months prior to November 2008. Prema kenijski ministar inozemnih poslova, somalijski gusari su primili više od 150 milijuna $ (US dolara) u otkupninu novca tijekom 12 mjeseci koji su prethodili do novembra 2008.

Clashes have been reported between Somalia’s Islamist fighters, who are opposed to the Transitional Federal Government, and the pirates. Sukoba su izvijestili između Somalija's Islamist borci, koji su razliku od Transitional Savezna vlada, i gusara.

The increasing threat posed by piracy also caused significant concerns in India since most of its shipping trade routes pass through the Gulf of Aden. Na predstavljaju sve veću prijetnju od piratstva i prouzročio značajne zabrinutosti u Indiji jer je većina njegovih Brodarstvo ruta kroz zaljev Aden. The Indian Navy responded to these concerns by deploying a warship in the region on October 23, 2008. Indijska ratna mornarica je odgovorio da se ta zabrinutost po uvođenje ratnog broda u regiji dana 23. listopada 2008. In September 2008, Russia announced that it too will soon join international efforts to combat piracy.[9] U rujnu 2008, Rusija je najavio da će se uskoro pridružiti Previše međunarodnih napora u borbi protiv piratstva.

On October 7, 2008, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 1838 calling on nations with vessels in the area to apply military force to repress the acts of piracy. Dana 7. listopada 2008, Vijeće sigurnosti Ujedinjenih naroda usvojena rezolucija 1838 pozivanje na narode sa plovila u područje koje će se primijeniti vojnu silu kako bi potisnuti djela kriminaliteta.

(There has been a general and complete arms embargo against Somalia since 1992.) (Došlo je do opće i potpuni embargo oružja protiv Somalije od 1992.)

In November 2008, Somali pirates began hijacking ships well outside the Gulf of Aden, perhaps targeting ships headed for the port of Mombasa, Kenya. U novembru 2008, somalijski gusari počeo otmica brodova i izvan zaljeva Aden, možda ciljaju na čelu brodovi za luku Mombasa, Kenija. The November 11 attack upon the MV Powerful, 60 nautical miles south of the Yemeni coast, resulted in the failed attempt to hijack the ship and the death of two Somalis by Royal Navy forces.[14] On November 19, 2008, an Indian Navy frigate deployed in the region, the INS Tabar, destroyed a pirate vessel after the pirates threatened to attack the warship. U novembru 11 napada na MV Snažan, 60 nautičkih milja južno od jemenski obali, rezultiralo je uspio pokušaj da se oteti brod i smrti dvojice Somalis od Kraljevske mornarice snage.
