This is live footage from the first ever attack by Somalian pirates against a cruise ship - Seabourn Spirit in November 2005.

Cruise ship attacked by pirates 2017. Oh it looks so scary when I think of getting attacked by pirates while on a cruise ship. The NAUTICA was on a 32-day cruise from Rome to Singapore when it was attacked on Sunday November. The ship was taking oil from Djibouti to.

It is good that cruise ships have some armed force and necessary arrangements for safety from pirates. Cruise ships pose a far more complex scenario. Pirates fired a rocket-propelled grenade and machine guns Saturday in an attack on a luxury cruise liner off the east African coast the vessels owners said.

However we know the cases when pirates threatened cruise ships after 2012. Fears of a possible pirate attack forced a cruise ship. Cruise ships and most other vessels respond to the threat of attack by pirates by employing safety in numbers.

Product tankers were targeted by pirates. And typically there are military ships planeshelicopters that can be dispatched to deal with pirates. I always used to thought that pirates were in ancient days but yes I can remember some incidents from recent past about attacking of cruise ships.

The Seabourn Spirit had been bound for Kenya when it was attacked by pirates armed with grenade launchers and machine guns on Saturday about 100 miles off. A cruise ship that was attacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden is now docked in Oman. The MV NAUTICA carrying more than 1000 people was attacked off the coast of Somalia by pirates.

That year there were 51 attacks on bulk carriers recorded. The latest of such news was the events of the summer of 2017 when Sea Princess being on the World Cruise with more than 1900 passengers on board was forced to resort to a 10-day anti-piracy disguise. While 162 ships were attacked by pirates in 2019 the number of ships attacked grew to 195.
