Weekly Piracy Report
4-10 October 2005
The following is a summary of the daily reports broadcast by the IMB's Piracy Reporting Centre to ships in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean Regions on the SafetyNET service of Inmarsat-C from 4 to 10 October 2005.
ALERT
Somalia – East and NE coast
Twenty two incidents have been reported since 15.03.05. Heavily armed pirates are now attacking ships further away from the coast. A recent incident took place 120 nm off the eastern coast. Ships are advised to keep as far away as possible from the Somali coast.
Re your post re Somalia - I recently read an article that mentioned that the radicals want to turn Somalia into an Islamic country.
