  • Phillips comes up with a plan as his ship is chased by two skiffs carrying armed men.
    Watch Now: play.google.co...
    Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two-time Academy Award®-winner Tom Hanks, Best Actor, 1993, Philadelphia; Best Actor, 1994, Forrest Gump), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. The two men are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

    Tom hanks did everything he could for America. He won ww2 and Vietnam, got the Medal of Honor and became a shrimp boat captian. After that he started on huge container ships and fought off the pilots. He got a job as a honest correction officer and became eternal. Dude’s on everything…

A combination of international naval presence, some ships carrying armed security, and the re-emergence of a functioning government in Somalia capable of law enforcement. In addition, the root causes were addressed, and there has been a substantial reduction in the illegal fishing and waste-dumping by foreign ships which was depriving Somali fishermen of their livelihood.

    • @QemeH
      @QemeH 2 года назад +78

      It's not the difficulty of repelling attacks, but the cost. Shipping companies calculate what's more cost efficient - lose one out of every 500 ships and a bit of ransom money, or pay a heck of a lot on every journey for proficient security out of port. Only on the most pirate infested routes this calculation comes out in favor of hired guns.
      [Also, if you want to be even more cynical: The public tends to care more for human lives than share holders. So if you can pressure your countries navy into "protecting" your "poor sailors" you completely outsourse that cost, and the public even thinks it's a great idea. Go Navy!]

    • @QemeH
      @QemeH 2 года назад +31

      @MrGriff305 If that were true, why don't shipping companies do it then? Why isn't every ship even remotely close to those waters fitted with MG nests?
      The truth is simple: Because while guns and ammo are (relatively) cheap, the usage of them is not. It requires either trained personell or training for your already existing personell. It requires extensive legal documentation and additional customs checks and declaration. It requires additional safe storage. It increases the insurance premiums, because it's a fire/explosion risk. I could go on...
      Lead is relatively cheap, you're right. That's why piracy is a problem in the first place. But unlike the pirates who just have to get lucky on one of hundreds of attempts, the defenders must be successfull in their use of force every time. Maybe you are trained in the handling of rapid fireing weapons and attacking swift moving targets with them - targets, btw, that are still human and have a survival instinct unlike any drone or paper target - and think it easy by now. But as somebody who's gun experience ranks at "has used an air rifle once at a carnival" I can safely say that it would take WEEKS if not MONTHS of training before I was even ready to fire such a violent tool at another human, let alone hit anything with it.

      Equipping the crew with weapons means that the shipping company expects the crew to defend the ship with against lethal forces. If a crew member is injured or killed then the shipping company is liable for damages to the crew member or there family. That liability means armed crews require special and More expensive insurance. That is a cost the shipping company doesn't to pay. Because successful hijackings are rare compared to the number of ships transiting Pirate waters and because sailing far from shore at high speed is often enough to stop pirates or prevent a boarding then ransom insurance is cheaper than arming insurance.

      instead, what they do these days, is they higher large companies like G4S who have depots achored off shore near large ports, cargo ships as theyre sailing by, will call to collect their security detachment, and contractors on board the depots will sign for weapons, and board a smaller boat, ride out and catch up with the container ship, and the boat goes back, then when they are getting close to their destination, they woll detour to the nearest depot where the depot will send a boat to collect the contractors and their weapons so that no weapons enter the destination country. much easier legally speaking and still accomplishes the same job

Even then, based on the videos I've seen - I have no direct experience or knowledge - there are still procedures they have to take. It's not like they can start engaging at 2 miles and sink the boats. They have to first determine if the intention is hostile, and they always seem to give warning shots first. I saw one video where one of the boats started taking on water, and they had to jump onto the other two boats with them. They left soon after that. The warning shots were a little close I guess ;).
