sailors freed by pirates

I also agree with Gulshan. I think The Govt. must take immediate steps to stop sea piracy.

A marine Engineer from my locality was also on the same ship and he is free now. But after hearing all this, my family is trying to stop me from filling forms for Marine engineering. Lets see if they permit.

There are risks in ship but these should not deter from job. My brother's brother in law worked for more than a decade in merchant shipping and he quit as Captain. Now he is working as a consultant in marine. My nephew is a marine engineer. He went several times on ship. One of my neighbor is also an ex captain in marine engineering. He is okay. In fact, there are risks every where. There is risk of accident even on road. Children are kidnapped while going to school. But we do not stop activities. If you are really interested in marine engineering, any such risk should not affect your decision.

The Government is seeing remedy against piracy by providing weapons on merchant ships. This may not suffice. There should be Indian navy combat ships patrolling in the vulnerable area. The best strategy will be to coordinate with other countries for united action against piracy.

Indian Government may be directly responsible for Indian ships. The Indian marine staff are working in ships of other countries also. In fact, there are more Indians on foreign merchant ships than Indian. We need to ensure security of all. This necessitates pooling or resources by all affected countries. There should be attempts in this direction.

The Govt. is planning law for tackling piracy on sea.

Somali pirates attacked an Indian naval ship mistaking as mercant ship. They were countered and 61 captured.

The Government of India should strictly deal with these pirates and deal with them strictly.

The Govt. are contemplating storming by Navy of hijacked ships with Indians on board. This is welcome as we must use of defense forces to defend our people and property.

Indian navy has again compelled the Somali pirates to kneel down.

It goes credit to Indian Navey. Not only protecting India ships, Indian Navey also helped chines ships against Somalese pirates.

I don't India can take action.Somalian pirates are world famous pirates. If world does not do this,why should we people. If the government of somalia can't take any action, then it is impossible for indians to take action.

As the pirates are Somalian, we should better understand that the Government of Somalia must be in grip of these pirates. We cannot expect Somalian Government to be of any help. In matter of sea piracy, we are to protect our own interests.

I had mentioned in a post that that our Naval forces should protect our ships. It is a matter of pride that our Indian Naval forces are acting smartly and rebuffing the pirates. Indian navy has definitely done a great job by protecting Chinese ships. The international community must cooperate and take coordinated action against pirates. We can definitely expect that our countries will also be of help in protecting Indian ships when need arises.

Frequent pirates attack and make hostages. The fear and tension which are faced by the hostages are very difficult to express. Government should try to make measures immediately to solve the issue.

I agree with Gulshanji,Government should take some serious steps to stop sea piracy.

yeah . all will be happy now. its a good news.
