Somali pirates amputated right arm of the captain, demanding ransom
Somali pirates amputated right arm of the captain of fishing vessel Shiuh Fu No 1, reported news agency Somalia Report. Pirates demand $3 million ransom for the crew of the vessel, not for the vessel, because Shiuh Fu No 1 is high and dry on a beach along Somali coast for a long time. Vessel was hijacked in December 2010 and several times was used as a mother ship for ocean raids, until finally, Shiuh Fu No 1 was beached due to storm or negligence. Crew is 13 Chinese, 12 Vietnamese and 1 Taiwanese fishermen, their whereabouts after Shiuh Fu No 1was grounded are unknown. Pirates informed mad with grief relatives about amputation, demanding the ransom. There is a hope though, that this is one more lie on behalf of the pirates, with their “business” on the slide, they seem to lie much more often than in their good old days. They said amputation was purely business, they demand money from the owner of the vessel, which in itself is just a crap, because it’s absolutely clear owner abandoned vessel and crew long time ago. Why should he pay $3 million for the crew of lost vessel, when vessels in his line of business are much more expensive than crews? Relatives are not well off people, or else hijacked fishermen wouldn’t commit themselves to near slavery on Taiwanese fishing vessels, notorious for their unbearable working and living conditions and very low wages. China, Vietnam and Taiwan obviously don’t care about their citizen tortured in pirates captivity, let alone pay for them. Pirates may amputate all limbs of all the crew, it won’t help them to get the ransom they crave for. The news are real bad and sad, the only hope is, still, that this is a typical pirates bluff.

Egypt/Suez Canal – new instructions regarding weapons and armed security guards onboard commercial vessels (www.gard.no)
Background
During August 2011, the Egyptian Authorities announced that commercial vessels in Egyptian territorial waters were
not allowed to carry any weapons or armed security guards onboard as this was stated to be contrary to international
maritime law. Consequences in case weapons were found onboard vessels when staying in Egyptian territorial
waters whether that be along quays in ports, while anchoring in the inner or outer waiting areas or while transiting the
Suez Canal, were reported to be serious. The master of the vessel and her crew members would be liable to legal
penalties in accordance with Egyptian Law such as arrest of the vessel and her master, and any person onboard
carrying weapons without permission.

Noored laevajuhid osalesid Tartu Maratonil.
19. veebruaril sõideti 41. Tartu Maraton ning finišeerijaid oli kokku rohkem kui viimastel aastatel – 6750. Nii suurt arvu lõpetajaid on Tartu Maraton varasemalt näinud vaid viiel korral, viimati 1987. aastal. Eesti Laevajuhtide Liidu spordientusiastide au otsustasid sel korral kaitsata ka meie Liidu noored tulevased laevajuhid, kes ühtse meeskonnana starti asusid ja mis kõige tähtsam ka lõpetasid. Tegemist on väga mitmekülgsete ja aktiivsete noorte inimestega, kes on üheskoos ka varem erinevaid väljakutseid ette võtnud ja edukalt lõpule viinud! Eesti Laevajuhtide Liit avaldab tunnustust noortele laevajuhtidele ja soovib samasuurt edasipüüdlikkust ja visadust ka laevas karjääriredelil üles ronides...
Meie meeste tulemused olid siis:
Toomas Tammiste 2314, aeg 04.51.31
Taavi Part 4843, aeg 07.03.34
Indrek Triisberg 4881, aeg 07.08.43
Arno Kask 4987, aeg 07.29.23
