In this year alone, over one hundred attacks by pirates have been reported where up to fourteen vessels and around 250 crew remain hostage to pirates in the Gulf of Aden.
Piracy has been rampant in the area due to the lack of a functional government in Somalia which has been fighting an 19-year civil war. The situation continues to remain high-risk and unstable even has a multi-national naval presence in the region.
