conference to discuss how to fight piracy(海盗) off the
coast of Somalia.The conference may also deal with ways
to rescue Somalia from seventeen years of civil war.More
than forty percent of its people depend on food aid.
Kenyan Foreign Minister Moses
Wetangula says the world cannot end piracy and civil war without dealing with
Somalia’s political
problems.
Somali pirates operate in the
Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden.The Gulf of Aden connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean by way of
the Suez Canal.The pirates have fast boats, modern
weapons and equipment like satellite phones and global positioning systems.
Pirates hijacked the Sirius Star
off the coast of Kenya and moved it to waters off Somalia.
The tanker Sirius Star, at three
hundred thirty meters long, is the biggest ship ever known to have been
captured by pirates.It
also happened farther south than most attacks, and farther out at sea ---- more
than eight hundred kilometers from land.
The ship was headed for the United
States with two million carrels of oil, worth an estimated one hundred million
dollars.A Saudi Arabian
company owns the tanker.The pirates have
reportedly demanded twenty-five million dollars in negotiations to release the
ship and its crew of twenty-five.
Somali pirates generally do not
steal goods or kill hostages.They are believed to be holding seventeen ships with about three
hundred crew members.Among the ships is a Ukrainian
vessel hijacked(劫持)in September with a load of military
weapons including tanks.
The increase in piracy is raising
the cost of insuring ships.Also, oil from the Middle East and exports from East Asia could take
longer to arrive.
Some of the world’s heaviest shipping traffic passes
the Somali coast.But major shipping companies have
begun to consider new routes. One of the world’s biggest shippers, A.P, Moeller Maersk,
says it will avoid the Gulf of Aden.A move away from
the Suez Canal could hurt Egypt’s economy.
American and other foreign navy
ships are now watching for pirates.This week the Indian Navy destroyed a heavily armed “mother ship” in the Gulf of Aden.But the area to protect covers more than one hundred sixty million
square kilometers.
