>According to new press reports, Horizon-1 did not realized that she was being attacked by pirates at least for a period of 3 minutes. By the time the crew realized the danger and requested help, pirates were already on board.
The information coming from the ship and her shipping company is vague and should be treated with caution. Never the less this incident shows that every ship sailing through these dangerous waters should remain vigilant all the time all the way. And the crew should make a list of to-do’s in case of emergency beforehand.
Aggressive maneuvering, speed and a watchful crew saved many ships from being captured. These may also helped Horizon-1 as well. Let’s hope that the ordeal of the crew does not last to long.
