EU naval forces will soon widen their operational scope to pursue Somali pirates ashore until 2015, according to the EU NAVFOR commander, the Royal Navy's Rear Admiral Duncan Potts.
"Piracy has caused so much misery to the Somali people and to the crews of ships transiting the area and it is right that we continue to move forward in our efforts," said Admiral Potts, reported London's Containerisation International.
The extension of the mandate underplayed by the EU naval taskforce has been accepted by the Somali Transitional Federal Government.
The latest number of vessels captured by pirates number eight with an estimated 213 hostages, with some held onshore despite ransoms paid.
