Luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises aboard armed private yachts off the Somali coast.

Wealthy punters pay £3,500 per day to patrol the most dangerous waters in the world hoping to be attacked by raiders.

When attacked, they retaliate with grenade launchers, machine guns and rocket launchers, reports Austrian business paper Wirtschaftsblatt.

Passengers, who can pay an extra £5 a day for an AK-47 machine gun and £7 for 100 rounds of ammo, are also protected by a squad of ex special forces troops.

The yachts travel from Djibouti in Somalia to Mombasa in Kenya.

The ships deliberately cruise close to the coast at a speed of just five nautical miles in an attempt to attract the interest of pirates.

"They are worse than the pirates," said Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov. "At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder," he continued.

"OMFG"
I would be remiss if I allowed your un fettered declaration pass freely, with out regard to lawful review. Here is the voice, that does give way to his Judgement, I am and such do declare:

That which is transpiring is in deed the acknowledged. That being said; The markers of the revelation are from a afar off seemingly,... well it's appearance (appearances) the matter of it's manifestation, it is in deed wide and varied and does in deed, stretch wide, I declares it's presence.

As such I, being in "The height"' "the depth", and the "breadth" of which it's magnitude is seldom regarded, that truth is now evidenced, in deed it is, in deed now in fact , in deed here within it is recognised, that none the less, and that not with standing it remains pure, true and by that virtue, righteous, it is in deed and in fact acknowledge; served through vilification, and ultimately justified.


This is the plight of those that posses the redemptive power, born of the subject of the "human experience" as granted by the mist, amongst which is the most holy of spirits, and through the wisdom of ages it's ghosts are in deed lving, and in fact with us now. Here I AM.

True but it does offer a good service. I dont condone murder but it would be self defense in this case. Also If they start shooting pirates I bet there are a lot less attacks.

The box is there in deed. The contents and physical manifestation of the cube (read sphere) cannot truly be present and have it's gravity ( and ad such the well it produces) recognised it in fact it does in deed exist.

A truism, a maxim might declare that which is contemplated as having in deed it's being, in deed it is worthy of the the contemplation of it's influence, the likes if which is in deed recognised. As one who is is among the living, I have to give it it's place. Regardless if my perception, it remains in deed true. Such is the constant motion of life.

That is not self defense, that is seeking warfare. I'm not saying the pirates are right, but if you actively seek them then that is just being a mercenary only you pay. You can also sign up to go kill people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan at the moment, but you get paid.

Luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises aboard armed private yachts off the Somali coast.

Wealthy punters pay £3,500 per day to patrol the most dangerous waters in the world hoping to be attacked by raiders.

When attacked, they retaliate with grenade launchers, machine guns and rocket launchers, reports Austrian business paper Wirtschaftsblatt.

Passengers, who can pay an extra £5 a day for an AK-47 machine gun and £7 for 100 rounds of ammo, are also protected by a squad of ex special forces troops.

The yachts travel from Djibouti in Somalia to Mombasa in Kenya.

The ships deliberately cruise close to the coast at a speed of just five nautical miles in an attempt to attract the interest of pirates.

"They are worse than the pirates," said Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov. "At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder," he continued.

Obviously, you have no idea what the sort of people who would partake of such an adventure are all about.

If one of them got killed, the people who are running these things would be fighting the would be anti-pirates off with sticks.

Or, more likely, just raising the prices they're charging and buying more boats

Re: Luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises aboard armed private yachts off the Somali coast.
Would be fascinated to know how many of these cunts they have bagged - it's a great idea, better yet if they went on seek and destroy missions. These pirates are extremely well organised international gangs - they have a network of spies in the shipping insurance business in London who report back on what ships to pirate, then negotiate the ransom even sometimes bribing the crews to arrange for the right course to be steered. In Somalia whole villages and towns are engaged in this activity - they ought to be napalmed!



The scale is vast. Between 2005 and 2012, more than 3,740 crew members from 125 countries fell prey to Somali pirates. Nearly 100 of them died. During that time, pirates took about £250 million in ransoms. Pirate activity has gone up by 50 per cent each year since 2006, increasing insurance premiums tenfold and driving up the price of everyday goods.
Between 80 and 90 per cent of the world’s trade relies on sea transport, with half of that – billions of pounds’ worth – funnelled through the Gulf of Aden, that part of the Arabian Sea between Yemen and Somalia, through the Red Sea to the Suez Canal to Europe. It’s crucial for the transport of Persian Gulf oil.


And everything is fair game for the pirates, from 1,000ft-long oil tankers to tiny sailing boats with two people on board – as in the case of the Chandlers. They were seized in October 2009 and held for 388 days.

The huge scale of the problem makes it all the more remarkable that the hub of this trade in misery is London – the world’s centre of shipbroking and insurance.
The pirates’ moneymen and informers lie hidden among the city’s large but nearly invisible Somali population. Some 15,000 Somalis live in the borough of Tower Hamlets, and a further 5,000 in Hackney.
