Good heavens! So now, first you get pirated or hijacked, then you get forced to use your ship to try and ram into a naval ship, which then fires back at you.

The Izumi, a Japanese cargo ship captured in October 2010, was used to try and ram into the Spanish warship Infanta Cristina, which was escorting a merchant ship in the area, off the East Coast of Somalia on the 14/15 of November 2010.
Read the full report . . . amazing.
Articles published elsewhere as well as for the blog by me, an ex-seafarer now back to sea, for all in shipping, mainly dedicated to the Merchant Navy. Do write. Identity protection assured. The author was an Indian seafarer, and now going back to sea after a gap of almost 25 years, to write better on the subject. MLC 2010 will not improve things unless you, the seafarer, are heard.
