| Pirates of the Aden
Is anyone here wondering why we aren't resolving this issue? They captured three large ships in the last two weeks including an MV and now companies are sailing their fleets around the horn of Africa to avoid them.
The solution is simple.
on a side note, I have boarded the Ekawat Nava 5. |
