It is the ONLY Piracy in the World where ship/crew are kidnapped for ransom. Thus,dealing and cure has to be also specific. If IMO is unable to force powerfull countries to render pirates a good lesson,at least extend the war risk area beyond Longitude 070E,so vessels may safely pass clear. Do not ask poor seamen who ride a ship to feed their families,to fight/resist the pirates with fire hoses and bare hands against machine guns and rockets. Above for IMO's ears to hear!!!!
