MV Barwaaqo attacked in Mogadishu, Somalia: "We send police when commercial ships draw near the port but the pirates were already on board and opened fire injuring one policeman but were eventually scared away by a rescue effort."
Flags of Convenience: The largest shipping registries are Panama, Liberia, Greece, Marshall Islands and the Bahamas, Approximately 6,300 sail under the Panamanian flag, making Panama the largest. The Greek-controlled fleet is at almost 90 million gross tons. The Marshall Islands is fourth with 1, 500 vessels and 37 million tons. Bahamas has 1,500 vessels at 27 million tons. Other significant flags include Cyprus and Malta
doesn't anyone find a lot of things wrong about the report given by the police and military? If they were there, engaged with the pirates, how could they be 'scared away' and escape? there are a lot of things wrong with this report.
