In 2009, much greater international resolution has resulted in more control of piracy than in the prior decade, although many pirates still operate from Somalia. *On 2 January a Netherlands Antilles-registered cargo ship was attacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden. A Danish antipiracy ship, the Absalon, sent an armed helicopter that fired warning shots and flares. The pirate speedboat caught fire and sank. *On 5 January, a Sierra Leone cargo vessel was attacked and chased by 4 pirate vessels in the Gulf of Aden. The ship escaped. *On April 8, the cargo of the Maersk Alabama was attacked and captured by Somali pirates southeast of the Somalia port city of Eyl. *On August 27, Somali Pirates aboard M/V Win Far fired a large caliber weapon at a U.S. Navy SH-60B assigned to the USS Chancellorsville. ==References== *http://www.cargolaw.com/presentations_casualties.php *http://www.icc-ccs.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=308:weekly-piracy-report&catid=32:weekly-piracy-report&Itemid=10 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2009 in piracy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
