Danish commandos storm hijacked bulker

摘要

Danish commandos seized a pirate-held bulker in February, in the first rescue of its kind. The successful operation was made possible because the crew had successfully secured themselves away from the pirates on board, and raised the alarm with coalition forces.rnThe EU's naval spokesman Commander John Harbour confirmed to SASI that the incident was the first time that a warship has been able to send forces to stop a pirate hijacking while it was still in progress, and said that it indicated that following the shipping industry's best management practices (BMPs) could help to increase crew safety when under threat or pirate attack.
