Norwegian shipping firm to avoid pirate-prone Gulf of Aden | ABS-CBN News Online Beta

"OSLO - Norwegian shipping company Odfjell said Monday it would no longer sail through the pirate-plagued Gulf of Aden, choosing instead the longer, more expensive but also safer route around Cape of Good Hope.

'We will no longer expose our crew to the risk of being hijacked and held for ransom by pirates in the Gulf of Aden,' Odfjell chief executive Terje Storeng said in a statement."
