In July 2011, the oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso was drifting through the treacherous Gulf of Aden when a crew of pirates attacked and set her ablaze. When David Mockett, a maritime surveyor, inspected the vessel, he was left with more questions than answers. Soon after his inspection, Mockett was killed in a car bombing.

@glenturney4750 Год назад

Yeah, but this also is very tempting to take an old retired tanker vessel over there to lure their pirates out onto the ocean for them to try to hijack the tanker and when they get close enough to the tanker with their small boats, dump a bunch of rocks over the side into their boats. The rocks would go completely through the bottoms of their boats hulls and sink them leaving them having to swim for miles to get home, or get eaten by sharks. 😁👍

You neglected to mention, what happened to the cargo of fuel oil, worth $100 million ? Who owned the cargo? Who chartered the vessel from the Greeks? Was there an insurance claim by cargo owners? Was the ship even loaded with oil? It is not uncommon to make claims for cargo, that is not onboard. Why would the ship owners scuttle a fully laden vessel of oil? There is a potential environmental disaster here? A major ship owner would not take on that sort of risk, endangering their reputation in the tanker market.

@galaticboom 10 месяцев назад

This vessel sailing Ukraine for China, as an old quote from my country (BR) that say think so; there is "core" in this mush, maybe is why many of those involved certainly preferred not to explain what happened and leave it alone to avoid greater repercussions

@willbrink Год назад

Tangential: The shipping companies simply made a $ calculation and decided the lives of those on the boats of less value than paying ransom for which they had insurance for vs security. Once it started to get too costly and started to get too much attention from media etc, did they do anything about it and hire security details for those ships. I knew several guys who did that work who put .50 cal bullets into a few pirate boats to let them know this ship was not interested in paying ransom and would end you if you attempted to take the ship. Pirates turned and ran like cowards each time, it got around the ships were now regularly armed, and along with various governments sending ships to protect the shipping lanes and such, the pirate problem dried up. Greed per usual, why it existed in the first place.

Is beyond believe that small group of pirates take over a gigantic tanker ,when they could be blown off the water, something just don’t make sense with a cargo so big I would think more security is needed to secure the ship

@nobodyspecial4702 Год назад

Back in the early 2010's, insurers didn't want to pay for security and instead relied on the naval vessels of European and the US to patrol the area as a deterrent. They got over that pretty quick when they realized how much they were paying in ransom compared to the costs for a couple armed guards on each ship since the navies of the world weren't permitted to actually use force to prevent pirate attacks. Once they started to demand armed security be present on ships traveling around that region, the piracy threat decreased rapidly as the pirates learned that being on a small skiff in the middle of the ocean means you don't have much chance of survival when the ship you're trying to capture suddenly opens fire with machine guns.

@medea27 Год назад

Keep in mind that your average cargo ship's crew is pretty small compared with size of the ship.... this tanker was the length of three football fields with multiple levels of corridors & rooms throughout. So it's not so easy to secure & defend all that space with a handful of crew, none of whom are trained in defence & often unable to legally carry a firearm onboard. Pirates would simply climb onboard as far away from the bridge as possible & brandish their weapons knowing the crew had none. Shipping companies don't want to pay for any more crew than they need, so as long as piracy wasn't costing them more than hiring security (and they could rely on navies to patrol the waters), security wasn't a priority.

Did the ship really have no equity? Why not sell a perfectly functional boat? Useful life? Do boats effectively "wear out"? As long as the hull does not rust through, don't you keep rebuilding the diesel engine and carry on? Was the game to collect 80ish million AFTER the bank had given up on the debt and pocket what would have paid off the first lien in addition to assumed equity?

The situation near Somalia and the pirates has been terribly distorted. These men were fishermen. Then Chinese fishing boats came in and using drag nets repeatedly for maximum catch DESTROYED the fishing grounds. They may not recover for hundreds of years. Being in a near perpetual state of war the Somali gov't was unable to defend it's territorial waters. Warlords, clans, tribes, gangs, everyone against everyone and starvation rampant as drought destroyed crops. Then waste disposal companies came along and dumped European trash into the waters instead of properly disposing of it. Then more companies this time dumping RADIOACTIVE trash. The Somali's appealed to the international community for help with no luck. So the fishermen have turned to piracy. It would have been far cheaper and easier for the international community to have protected the fishing grounds than letting this problem develop. Not doubt financial advisors told their country's leaders helping was a bad idea. Disgusting at all levels. Oh, and the former fishermen are spending most of their money on drugs.
