Somalia has become a piracy hotspot where the situation is now so serious
ships not making scheduled calls at Somali ports, are being advised to keep
at least 200 nautical miles from the coastline.
Thirty five piracy incidents were reported in Somalia last year compared to
just two in 2004, according to the IMB.
