  • The Crew of MV Iceberg 1, Abandoned by her Owners, Tortured by Somali Terrorists

    The MV Iceberg 1 is a Panama-flagged Roll on-Roll off ship that was attacked and overrun by pirates on 29 March 2010. Since that time, the crew has been left to rot in a Somali hell-hole by the owners of the vessel, Azal Shipping and Cargo, who have since gone out of business. At least one of the crew has already committed suicide.

    Whole story:

    This is not at all uncommon but this is the worst story yet. I doubt the American Press is covering it. I don't understand how this isn't a front on our "War on Terror". Its sad but you hear stories like this all the time. Every once in a while you get a good one like how the crew or usually the Navy (typically Pakistans Navy...yeah) kills these pirates or, my personal favorite, the Chief Engineer that hid behind a support and popped one of them with a pipe wrench.

    Two days ago another ship got hit off Nigeria (Africa). Not sure how that one turned out

          I was gonna ask why the UN doesn't do anything about this, but then I found the answer. This article was only from a few days ago, so all this stuff might make the news if the UN starts doing stuff about it in the near future.

            When we go through the pirate zones, we send position reports to the French Navy since we're contracted by Gas de France / Suez. I've been through all of the major pirate areas a few times and have never seen a navy ship in the area and we never picked one up on radar that didn't belong to Pakistan

                          don't understand why though. It's international waters. And its self protection from pirates.

                            Not an American Company, don't have the resources to train the crew to use weapons for liability reasons etc I'm sure.
