Descripción del sitio
Mogadishu Pirate Hijack Area. Somali pirates can hijack ships in this part of the Indian Ocean, within about 600 nautical miles of the Somali Coast, using smaller motherships or open boats with direct attacks. Most ships tend to avoid courses along this part of the Somali coast near the main pirate home ports of Hobyo, Eyl, and Mogadishu. However, it is difficult to avoid this zone if the ship's destination is Mogadishu, Kisamaayo, or Mombasa.
