    Attacks disrupting trade routes

    The Red Sea shipping route -- one of the world's most important for
    oil, gas and consumer goods -- has often been a target during times of conflict.

    In recent weeks, shipping there has been disrupted by attacks from
    Yemen's Houthi rebels.

    Indian warships sail

    Dr Hall said the Arabian Sea attack presented a challenge to India's
    oil security.

    India's oil supply comes through two routes -- the Red Sea, and the
    Persian Gulf.

    They are not warships, they are mobile call centres... they get a
    better signal away from Delhi.

    They

    I suspect India is making a symbolic gesture to those hoodlums so they
    mind their Ps and Qs.

    Indian Navy rescues ship crew from hijack attempt in Arabian Sea
    ...
    ...
    A navy statement said Friday that all 21 crew members, including 15
    Indian nationals, aboard the MV Lila Norfolk, had been evacuated from
    the ship's citadel -- a fortified section of commercial vessels used
    as a refuge during pirate attacks.

    The 84,000-tonne bulk carrier had been boarded by five or six "unknown
    armed personnel" on Thursday evening but the attempted hijacking was
    "probably abandoned" after a forceful warning by the Indian Navy, the
    statement said.

    It added that the warship INS Chennai, which had intercepted the
    vessel earlier Friday, was working to restore power and propulsion to
    allow the Liberian-flagged bulk carrier to continue to its next port
    of call.
