A dedicated maritime crime court in Seychelles was formally opened yesterday.
The two-storey annexe to Seychelles' Supreme Court building on Île du Port - comprising two large courtrooms, detention cells, witness waiting area, judges' chambers, and lawyers' meeting rooms - will hear cases of piracy and maritime crime.

"My kids are losing hope," said Wilbert Collins, 77, a retired third-generation oysterman in southeastern Louisiana with four sons who followed him into the industry. The family business has endured a 60 percent drop in yields in the past five years.
The explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20, 2010, left 11 workers dead and huge stretches of the Gulf fouled with oil that gushed from the site for 87 days.
