Hopefully some kind of escort, surprising they even come within 500 miles of this country.
That ship has 100 million dollars worth of oil on board. Not to mention it is a state of the art super expensive ship empty.
Strap some C4 on it and all of a sudden you have a possibly lucrative ransom/Disaster.Comment

Re: Somali Pirates Take Over Oil Tanker With British Crew on Board
Wow! It pays very well apparently. 50 million..In 08..Why this has been allowed to go on for so long is baffling.
Only a few years ago, the average ransom was in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now payments can range from $500,000 to $2 million.
The pirates' profits are set to reach a record $50 million in 2008, Somali officials say. Shipping firms are usually prepared to pay, because the sums are low compared with the value of the ships.
