After the tanker left the dangerous sea area and got in touch with the transfer ship docked on the high seas, the tanker stopped and waited for the small boat put down on the transfer ship to connect the six of them to the transfer ship.
The so-called transit ship is also a helpless choice. The reason why the crew of commercial ships have no resistance in the face of pirates is that the crew of commercial ships are only civilians. The main reason is that there can be no weapons on commercial ships due to the restrictions of international conventions.
If you keep driving on the high seas, even if the cargo ship is equipped with missiles and cannons, no one will take care of it. However, when you enter the port of another country, once someone finds out that there are weapons on the ship, there will be great trouble. The same is true for the armed guard. On the high seas, the armed guard can use any weapons, but it can't bring weapons ashore or enter the territorial sea of a country. As for the port, Not to mention that.
If you don't intend to abide by the law, it's no problem to bring brushes and no weapons, but the marine armed guard is still a legal and concerned profession after all, so the marine armed guard must be bound by the law and can't carry guns ashore. In order to solve this problem, the transfer ship should be transported.
Transit ships are docked on the high seas and operated by private people. When armed escorts get on and off the merchant ships, they are near the main channel on the high seas. Merchant ships only need to be close to the transit ship to pick up and off the armed escorts, rather than having to let the armed escorts get on and off the merchant ships in the port.
The existence of transfer ships not only avoids legal problems, but also makes it more convenient. Transfer ships will stop in the sea area that will not be threatened by pirates. As long as there is no threat, merchant ships will put down the armed escort instead of taking the armed escort to the port of destination.
Gaoyang's transfer ship was refitted from an old cruise ship with a displacement of 2000 tons. After contacting the intermediate transfer ship, the transfer ship sent a small boat to pick them up and return to the transfer ship.
Everything went well. When he said goodbye to the escort tanker and boarded the boat, it was more than 3 a.m. when Gao Yang boarded the middle transshipment from the special gangway, he just walked to the deck, but heard a man say loudly: "You finally came back. According to my expected time, you should have come back two hours ago. Haven't you had any trouble?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties. His name was Anton cel Kutta, a Scottish American and a partner in praising them this time,.
Antonsell became the first mate all the time from a sailor, and then finally became the captain. He was too familiar with everything at sea. However, antonsell just completed one of his major goals in life and finally became the captain. However, within two years, antonsell resigned from a shipping company he had worked for for for a long time.
The reason why he refused to be a captain again was that he met a pirate in the Gulf of Aden with antonsell and was almost kidnapped by a pirate with a ship.
At that time, there were armed guards on antonsell's ship, but the situation when he met pirates was somewhat different. At least more than 20 pirate boats surrounded his ship. The pirates were about to board the ship, and the four armed guards on the ship planned to surrender when they saw that there were many pirates. Anyway, Somali pirates were also very principled, that is, ask for money instead of money Life, even if they surrender, the crew will not be in danger, and their security personnel are very likely to be directly put back by the pirates, so the four security personnel just fired a few shots, which led to the random gun fire of the pirates. After that, the four security personnel stopped fire and waited for the pirates to board the ship.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a helicopter sent by a warship solved the siege for antonsell's ship, so antonsell did not fall into the hands of pirates, and the frightened and stimulated antonsell also saw business opportunities from his experience, so he made up his mind to change his career immediately.
Antonsell, who is no longer the captain, decided to set up a maritime security company. Although he is a complete layman in the security and defense industry, antonsell also has his own advantages. He has run a ship all his life. He knows a lot of people and can easily get business. Even if he can only get the business of the shipping company he used to work for, it is enough for him to make a big profit Money.
Antonsell doesn't have his own staff and doesn't know the way of security and defense, but he knows little Downey's father, and then antonsell naturally hooked up with little Downey. After that, things became a chapter smoothly, and the six of them became antonsell's partners.
Anton sell is in charge of the business and is responsible for praising their life and rest on the transshipment, while praising them is in charge of the force. As for the money they earn, both sides share it equally, and then give 5% of the total amount to little Downey.
The reason why Gao Yang and Anton Saier both want to give little Downey 5% is that the security company established in Anton Saier city is not formally registered and has not joined the international NGO Maritime Industry Security Association (SAMI) To put it bluntly, it means doing mercenary work in the name of maritime security company. Only in this way can it be free from legal restrictions and the international code of conduct (ICOC) of private security service providers. Otherwise, antonsell can't make a commitment to absolutely ensure the safety of merchant ships when he works.
Gao Yang and little Donny have an agreement that as long as little Donny finds a task for them, he will pay little Donny 5%. Because the company is illegal, antonsell has to transfer the money safely to his account. He needs little Donny to wash the money for him, so antonsell also needs to give little Donny 5%.
The cooperation with antonsell is very pleasant. Antonsell is really a good man. It's not like a captain born as an ordinary sailor who is always full of dirty words and can't live without wine. On the contrary, antonsell always has a smile on his face and takes good care of Gaoyang them. As long as Gaoyang comes back from work, he will always see antonsell waiting to meet them at any time, Anton sell can rest assured only when he sees Gao Yang's safe return.
Gao Yang smiled at antonsell and said, "I met a little trouble, which can't even be called trouble. I met some blind pirates and was scared away by us."
Anton sell looked at the group standing behind Gao Yang. After confirming that no one was hurt, Anton sell nodded and said, "if only no one was hurt, call me and report peace next time."
At this time, Cui Bo said with a smile: "Captain, don't worry about us. We're not children, and you're not a complaining woman looking forward to her husband's return. Listen to me, don't stay up late waiting for us next time."
Antonsell smiled bitterly: "I've been the chief mate for too many years. It's a job to worry about. I can't sleep without arranging my responsible work. I'm afraid I can't change my habit for a while. Well, now let me ask if the pirates you meet call themselves the skeleton gang. You've been transshipping for a few days, and in the past few days, there's a lot of people here The transfer ship has been talking about the sudden emergence of the skeleton gang. I listen to the British. They seem to be making some big moves. "
