What method did the crew of Tianyu 8 use to save it?

Jing Chu*** (Chutian Jinbao) Pictured: Pirates hijacked the fishing boat "Tianyu 8" (data**) Comprehensive Xinhua News Agency At about 17:00 on February 8, 2009, Beijing time, all 25 crew members of the fishing boat "Tianyu 8" in Tianjin, China, which had been hijacked by Somali pirates for more than two months, were rescued, including 17 Chinese crew members and 8 foreign crew members. At present, the "Tianyu 8" has been placed under the protection of the Chinese Navy's escort formation, and it is expected to return to China as soon as possible.

At around 4 a.m. on November 14, 2008, a group of armed men armed with grenade launchers and automators suddenly approached and forcibly boarded the Chinese fishing vessel Tianyu 8, which was operating in Kenyan waters. All parties concerned in China immediately took action. A statement was issued on the hijacking of the "Tianyu 8" that night, saying that it was working with relevant departments and overseas agencies to rescue the hijacked crew and ships.

On the 16th, Vice Minister He Yafei met with Foreign Minister Jama of the Transitional Federal Republic of Somalia in New York. Jama said that the Transitional Federation of Solomon will do its best to rescue the Tianyu 8 and the hijacked Chinese crew. Wei Hongtian, counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, said that according to the list of personnel provided to the embassy by the shipping agency, there were 25 crew members on the hijacked fishing boat, and among the total crew, there were 17 Chinese, of which 16 were from Chinese mainland, one from Taiwan and eight were foreign crew members.

Counselor Wei said that according to the information they had, the entire crew of the hijacked fishing boat was not yet in danger. In the distant-water fishing industry, fishing boats usually go to sea in pairs, in order to take care of each other. "Tianyu 8" is no exception, it also has a "twin brother" - Tianyu 7".

Traditionally, the two ships should not be very far apart, "but this happened in the early hours of the morning, and they were both armed pirates, so it was difficult for the 'Tianyu 7' to help." Zhu Chunxia, an employee of the company's material department, said. Since the incident, the Ministry of Agriculture has coordinated with Tianjin Municipality and guided the Chinese embassies in Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti and other countries and relevant enterprises to actively carry out rescue work to ensure the safety of the hijacked crew.

According to *** news, after many efforts, at about 17 o'clock on February 8, 2009, Beijing time, all the crew and the ship were rescued safely. At present, the Chinese Navy's escort squadron to the Gulf of Aden has placed the newly rescued fishing vessel "Tianyu 8" under its protection, and will inspect the crew's health, replenish supplies, and escort the crew to a safe sea area so that they can return home safely as soon as possible. China** expressed its cordial condolences to the rescued crew members.

The relevant information has been reported to the embassies of the countries concerned in China. The Consular Department once again reminded the Chinese crew vessels not to approach or enter the waters of Yemen, Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania to avoid accidents.

Tianyu No. 8 "lost contact, and the method of finally replenishing oil and water for the fishing boat" is really the first time I have heard of it.

News, on the 16th, Deputy Minister He Yafei met with Foreign Minister Jama of the Transitional Federal Republic of Somalia in New York. Jama said that the Transitional Federation of Solomon will do its best to rescue the Tianyu 8 and the hijacked Chinese crew.

He Yafei said that at present, the Chinese vessel "Tianyu 8" and 17 Chinese crew members are still hijacked by Somali pirates, and it is hoped that the Somali Transitional Federation** will continue to cooperate with the Chinese side and fully assist in rescuing the hijacked Chinese ship to ensure the personal safety of the crew.

Jama welcomed China's positive consideration of sending the Transitional Federation of Somalia to assist in the escort and said that the Transitional Federation of Somalia will continue to cooperate with the Chinese side and do its utmost to rescue the "Tianyu 8" and the abducted Chinese crew.

On the 16th, the waters off Somalia were still not calm, and despite the failure to hijack a Chinese steamer, pirates hijacked an Indonesian tugboat, a Turkish cargo tugboat, and a speedboat. It is reported that Somali pirates are still hijacking 19 ships and more than 400 crew members.

Definitely.

This time, another 200 million oil tankers were scooped up.

Negotiations usually take several months, and $20 million is not a small amount. The Somali state is in chaos and almost lawless. Pirates not only did not break the law, but also improved their lives, and piracy became a longing for the people there.

Part of the ransom proceeds are used for living, part is used to buy arms, and part is given to fishermen, who have already received their support. There is a pirate group with a very formal name: the Marine Corps.

They have declared to the outside world that it is reasonable to protect Somalia's territorial waters, to pay through their territorial waters, and that their means are legitimate.

While the pirates are not acting correctly, one thing is good, and that is that they don't kill hostages at will.

There must be ** support behind them, and there is a backstage.

Robbing Chinese ships Robbing the world's second largest oil tanker, the Sirius, hijacking ships everywhere.

A lot of bad things have been done, too many to count.

What else can you do besides killing people, setting fires, and stealing things?

To put it simply: Somali piracy is the hijacking of a ship perpetrated by Somali pirates.

Main Organizations: There are four main groups of pirates currently active in Somali waters:

One is the Puntland Group, the first group to engage in organized piracy off the coast of Somalia;

A group called the National Volunteer Coastguard, a smaller group that plunders small ships sailing along the coast;

The third group is called "merkah", which uses small fishing boats with strong firepower as the main tool of crime, and is characterized by relatively flexible methods of crime;

The most powerful group of pirates is called the Somali Marine, which operates as far as 200 nautical miles from the coastline.

Roots: Somalia has been at war since 1991 and has been characterized by rampant piracy along its coasts, which is listed by the International Maritime Bureau as one of the most dangerous areas on the map of the world's Somali piracy areas. Since 2008, there have been more than 80 pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia, with an average of one ship being hijacked every four days.

Most of the robberies occurred in the Gulf of Aden, the sea choke point from the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean and Atlantic Oceans.

It's Somali pirates who are robbing and kidnapping ships along their coasts.

Fighting Somali piracy in accordance with the law is a common goal of the whole world!

Have you ever played Grand Voyage? Looting ships and cargo at sea all day long. How cool, pirate freedom.

As far as I know, Somali pirates are better than Caribbean pirates, with Caribbean pirates only robbing small things, while Somali pirates directly extort hostages.
