Somalia, pirates repelled: EU Naval force
NAIROBI (Reuters) - Suspected Somali pirates attacked a Singaporean-flagged chemical tanker on Friday but were repelled by guards on board, the European Union’s Naval force said, the first such incident in several months.
EU Navfor said in a statement the 50,000 metric tonne MT Leopard Sun was sailing from Sohar in Oman to Cape Town, South Africa, when it was attacked by two skiffs 160 nautical miles (295 km) off the coast of Somalia.
“The skiffs approached from the stern and fired upon her, after which the on-board Private Armed Security Team returned fire with warning shots,” EU Navfor said.
The incident lasted around 20 minutes, and the vessel and crew were safe.

La práctica de la piratería y el corsarismo, como es bien sabido, corre paralela, desde sus albores, a la navegación mercantil. La reglamentación del corso evoluciona a lo largo de su devenir histórico, pues interesa una legislación clara a fin de establecer la participación del rey en los beneficios de las presas y la legitimidad de las mismas. Las disposiciones legales se van superando lentamente al par que los casos prácticos evidencian la necesidad de una precisión en los conceptos. Según los estudiosos en la materia l el origen de los textos oficiales que regulan el corso es español 2 .

La Generalitat ha vetado al barco C-Star, de los ultraderechistas Generación Identitaria, atracar en sus puertos por falta de permisos, aunque tampoco le hubieran dejado acceder con los papeles en rega: "Choca contra la política de Derechos Humanos de la Generalitat", apuntan desde el departamento de Infraestructuras y Movilidad.

Six crew from German ship kidnapped in Nigerian waters

BERLIN (Reuters) - Six crew from a German container vessel have been kidnapped in Nigerian waters, a shipping company said on Tuesday.
Four of those taken are Filipino, and one is a Ukrainian national, according to the Philippines department of labor and Ukrainian foreign ministry.
Kidnapping for ransom is a common problem in parts of Nigeria. A number of foreigners have, in the last few years, been kidnapped in the Niger Delta, source of most of the crude oil which is Nigeria's economic mainstay.
"The vessel was attacked by pirates on early Saturday morning when it was approaching one of the ports of Nigeria," said a spokesman for Peter Doehle Schiffahrts

Piracy
W.S.C.
The issue of piracy against merchant vessels poses a significant threat to world shipping. In 2011, there were 439 pirate attacks and 45 merchant vessels hijacked worldwide. 237 of these attacks and 28 of these hijackings occurred in the Gulf of Aden, off the coast of Somalia, and in the wider Indian ocean. As of spring-2012 there have been more than 51 attacks off Somalia (121 worldwide), 11 hijackings off Somalia (13 worldwide), and over 158 hostages taken off Somalia. Currently, 12 ships and more than 170 seafarers are being held hostage by Somali pirates for ransom.
Although liner vessels -- container ships and roll-on/roll-off vessels -- are generally considered to be at lower risk for hijackings because of their higher
