Search and intimidation
. 20:11 afternoon, sources said a
suspicious foreign ship Phu Quy island (Binh Thuan) about 50 nautical miles we
for monitoring ship out, but this train has left the scene and lost. We
have ships on duty in Changsha and
some other ships in Vung Tau come looking. "
According
to Colonel strictly, the Coast Guard vessel divided into two organizational
change tracking suspicious ship.About 2 hours and 20 days 22:11, edit the Coast
Guard fleet 4031, 4034 found the ship Sea Horse anchoring Vung Tau Nose more
than 40 nautical miles. Because this ship have many questions
such as vessel name written in paint and the bow also change the paint color. Found
next to Sea Horse inscription Zafirah has been painted black with colored
hull.Doubt this is the hijacked ship, the Coast Guard force held remote
monitoring.
To
strengthen the evidence, about 11 hours a day 22:11, the Vietnam Marine Police
put Captain Sann Winnaung, mate Zaw Lwin, of Zafirah vessel the Sea Horse
mooring location identity to proceed. After determining the Sea Horse is
ships Zafirah, at 16 o'clock the same day, the Coast Guard used the speakers,
asked the robbers to surrender. However, these robbers stubborn anchor
flee. Coast Guard forces fired several shots into the air, but these
people still do not surrendered.
Under
these circumstances, Colonel Le Xuan Thanh, Commander Region 3 - Vietnam Marine
Police has consulted directly with the Vietnam Marine Police Department and
decided to attack the pirates. 1st warning shot command infantry gun on
the bow is executed but they do not abide by that acceleration run. Colonel
Thanh commander ordered a warning shot for the second time in the saloon and
continue to propagate if the run will shoot to kill, at which point they
surrendered.
After 50 minutes of repression, the Vietnam Marine Police arrested all
11 pirate compact, absolute safety and armament.11 pirates were detained in
prison Phuoc, Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
Bandits very slim
Talking to Youth PV afternoon, Colonel Nguyen Quang Dam, the
Vietnam Marine Police Department said: the successful suppression of
pirates is a new victory of the Vietnam Marine Police.
Can you tell us more about the process of directing and handling
the case?
Before the Coast Guard perform suppression, there are a lot of
relevant information. After hijacking the ship
we had to act barbaric and brutal is pushing nine crew members of the
hijacked ship into the sea, schedule changes, and repainting the ship's
identification number ... In short initial
assessment is very powerful bandits, cruelty, and also have very specific
plans and professional. Through the testimony of
the captain, the hot-armed bandits of the sea, knives, swords. When handled entirely possible bad situation.Processing history of
piracy in many countries shows that the loss and damage on both sides is
inevitable. In this case due to the
strict guidance of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, the
flexibility and fierce courage of Crime officers and soldiers directly
involved in helping us handle success.
How do you assess the maturity of the Coast Guard in the past?
Coast Guard is the new force, is in the process of both building
and development, has been the Party, State, Army invested interest. In recent years, the force has been equipped with
modern facilities such as large patrol vessels of 2,000 tons, maritime reconnaissance
aircraft. Force capability will be
further enhanced in the future. In recent years, the
force has done his task well. We assess the current
capacity and equipment, forces have the ability to complete tasks, make
sure the environment of peace, security and safety to the industry, the
active forces and the people peace of mind on the sea.
The current difficulties?
I must say that the situation of Vietnam's sea is very sensitive
and complex issues.Address comprehensive treatment process if not flexible,
do not understand the point of view direct, easy to break out of the
problem is difficult to handle. That's the problem.However, I believe that
in the near future with the leadership of the Party, the army, the
combination of the industry, these problems will gradually be resolved.
