Pirates utilize Soviet-era equipment, old iron-sight AKs, grenades and RPGs. Body protection is scarce.
Rooms provided for Theseus on the ship will automatically lock 10 minutes before entering danger area at 2120 local, to avoid Pirates getting their hands on our equipment. Rooms will unlock again after the attacks stop.
Night Vision devices and Suppressors were not transported to the ship, reliance on other light sources is of utmost importance. Flares and Tracers are also recommended for additional visual clarity.
MSC Koper
Pirates
After action report:
Theseus was tasked with defending the MSC Koper from pirates off the coast of Somalia.
During the evening starting from 2100 Zulu, we encountered multiple boarding attempts by the pirates.
Around 2200 Zulu, some pirates were able to access the ship from the boarding hatch on the lower deck. We were able to clear them out without trouble. Afterwards, we eliminated some pirates that were able to access the engine compartment. We were able to repel other encounters and the remaining part of the night was quiet.
Unfortunately, we lost 2 contractors to a helicopter incident, and 1 was lost during the assault from small boats.
