2. Top tips in avoiding a pirate attack
1. Maintain a vigilant lookout at all times. Early warning of a suspicious skiff will give you time to act. This has been proven to greatly reduce the chance of a successful attack.
2. A ship showing self-protective measures in place is more likely to deter pirates. It is recommended that the BMP is applied throughout the Voluntary Reporting Area.
3. Regular reporting of position/course/speed to UKMTO. Merchant masters should also be extremely cautious if challenged by any unexpected source.
Back to top
3. Action in the event of a pirate attack . STAY CALM, and follow the ship's pre-prepared contingency plan.
. CALL UKMTO +971 50 552 3215.
. Activate SSAS.
. Make a "MAYDAY" call on VHF CH. 16/08, and send distress message on DSC.
. If AIS has been turned OFF, turn it back ON.
. Sound the emergency alarm and make a pirate attack announcement in accordance with the ship's emergency plan.
. Muster the crew at SAFE MUSTER POINT/CITADEL.
. For safer passage, merchant vessels transiting the Gulf of Aden are advised to use the full length of the IRTC and avoid coastal transits.

10. IRTC / Group transit information
The International Recommended Transit Corridor (IRTC) consists of an East and West bound traffic lane in the Gulf of Aden.
The East bound lane begins at Point Alpha 04500E between 1148N and 1153N The West bound lane begins at Point Bravo 05300E between 1425N and 1430N The Maritime Security Centre Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) organises transit arrangements through the IRTC.
Group Transit - A Group Transit of the IRTC is where ships are scheduled by speed so as to be in close proximity when passing through the key threat area, where there is a high risk of piracy, which provides mutual support. This also facilitates the coordinated support of warships by the military authorities. Vessels should pass through the Point A (Eastbound) and Point B (Westbound) at the times indicated below.

A Group Transit is NOT a convoy, therefore warships may not be seen, but will be patrolling in the vicinity. Prior to transit any changes to the ETA at Point Alpha or Point Bravo are requested to be promptly advised to MSCHOA.
Any further information required on the Group Transit should be sought from MSCHOA who are responsible for Group Transits.
Escorted transit - Some nations provide convoy transits for merchant vessels passing through the IRTC, where the vessels in transit will be supported throughout the IRTC by a naval asset. UKMTO does not hold information on the escort times or procedures. Advice may be obtained by contacting MSCHOA directly.

11. Drills / Exercises
UKMTO would like to support any ship or company who wishes to hold a security drill. However, when testing voice communications, email systems or conducting a security drill, all communications MUST start with "DRILL, DRILL, DRILL" to avoid any misunderstanding.
Back to top
12. Precautions
All vessels are strongly advised to comply with Best Management Practices (currently BMP4), when within the Voluntary Reporting Area. A copy is available on the MSC HOA website and the NATO Shipping Centre website.
Although the Master has the discretion to switch off the AIS if he believes that its use increases the ship's vulnerability, in order to provide Naval forces with tracking information it is recommended that AIS transmission left on throughout the High Risk Area, but that it is restricted to ship's identity, position, course, speed, navigational status and safety-related information.
Back to top
13. West Coast of India
When off the Indian West coast, you are reminded:
. That dense fishing activity may be encountered off West coast of India; . Fishing is generally carried out by mechanized boats and single hull boats with outboard motors carrying 4-5 crew using long lines up to 50 nm from coast; . Merchant ships traversing the fishing nets are likely to be approached by fishing boats safeguarding nets and lines and care should be taken not to mistake fishing boats for skiffs and PAG's; . Masters of Merchant Ships to report any suspicious activity immediately to UKMTO on +971 50 55 23215 and to Mumbai MRCC on telephone +91 22 24388065 or +91 22 24388065, email: - indsar@vsnl.net.

Zapytam jeszcze raz: i co..? Podobała wam się ta lektura..?
Powyższych maili już na polski nie tłumaczyłem, ażeby mnie całkiem do reszty krew nie zalała! Zatem, kto chce poznać lepiej wszelkie szczegóły tej specyficznej „zabawy” o ewentualne przetłumaczenie obu maili niechaj się postara we własnym zakresie. Ufff...
A wiecie, że jeszcze dodatkowo produkowaliśmy przy tej okazji duże tablice ostrzegawcze z napisem w jakimś używanym w Somalii języku, że nasze rozciągnięte wokół burt statku „kolczatki” są pod wysokim napięciem..? Tak, wyobraźcie sobie, że nawet i takie chwyty są obecnie przez dbające o nasze bezpieczeństwo „odpowiednie czynniki” zalecane, tak więc dostaliśmy odpowiedni tekst, który czym prędzej na pomalowane na żółto duże deski wpisywaliśmy. Tak dla zaspokojenia waszej ciekawości podam, iż brzmi to tak: „KHATAR! Deyr Danab Koronto Sare (XooGGan)”. I oczywiście siła rażenia takowego ostrzeżenia dla piratów jest jeszcze wzmocniona wymalowaną w dole tablicy odpowiedniej wielkości błyskawicą – żeby już nawet kompletny analfabeta zrozumiał, że z naszymi kolczastymi drutami na pewno żartów nie ma! Ufff. Jaja, prawdziwe jaja. Z tym że chyba już jednak nieco „zbukowate”. Tfu..!
No i ci żołnierze (o pardon, chciałem raczej napisać: żołnierzyki)… Eeech, aż się dosłownie o nich wspominać nie powinno. Nie warto. No chyba że jedynie w kontekście jakiegoś żartu czy wręcz komedii! Toż to wygląda na jakąś potężną kpinę! Któż to z nas, marynarzy, aż tak bezczelnie drwi..!?
A tak, właśnie tak to wszystko teraz odbieramy – patrzymy, patrzymy, patrzymy i własnym oczom nie wierzymy. Ja osobiście dotychczas sądziłem – kiedy tylko docierały do mnie jakieś wiadomości o statkach, które żeglując przez ten rejon wynajmowały do swej obrony uzbrojonych ochroniarzy lub żołnierzy – że jest taka usługa czymś w istocie znaczącym, skutecznym i realnie pomocnym. Gdy tymczasem teraz właśnie na własne oczy w końcu widzę, cóż to tak naprawdę jest! Właśnie „wszystkimi swoimi zmysłami” odbieram ten ładunek gigantycznej wręcz hipokryzji – każdym swoim nerwem wyczuwam tę paranoję, której zresztą chcąc nie chcąc jestem teraz mimowolnym uczestnikiem, o rety!
Toż to najzwyklejsza gra pozorów lub najśmieszniejsza ze śmiesznych szopka! Żeby nie powiedzieć: istny cyrk na kwadratowych kółkach, nawet chyba większy aniżeli rodem wprost z brytyjskiego Monty Pythona! Żałosne, po prostu żałosne i żenujące zarazem..! Tyle potężnych armii na tym naszym świecie, tyle ogromnie silnych i licznych wojennych flot, czy zatem rzeczywiście nic się nie da zrobić, aby to jednak lepiej zorganizować..?! Czy naprawdę musimy być świadkami aż takiej komedii w tak ważnej sprawie..?! A dlaczego tak to oceniam..? No to poczytajcie…

No ale o tym już w odcinku trzecim…
