Helmet cam - Dutch Spec boarding hijacked ship

[ChunkyMonkey]

10 pirates hijacked the vessel, but the crew managed to retreat to a safe-room. So NL MARSOF could carry out an opposed boarding, without any hazzard for the crew. The video is chronological; with the commander explaining where they are: helo, landing on the front, approaching the bridge, arresting 6 pirates on the first deck, another 2 on the back, and the last two just below the bridge. Clever pirates never used their guns.

I would have enjoyed the video more if at the end they had lined up all the priates at the stern, and given them a stern lecture.


Then tied them to something heavy and sent them to the bottom.

The ops had to behave due to the cam.

pretty cool to see a little bit of what goes on during something like that. I would have liked to see more fish bait produced as well, but at least they got them all and the good guys didn't get hurt (or at least what i could tell from the video)

Sloppy work....very unprofessional VBSS. At least the pirates didn't initiate fire or it could have turned into a media nightmare and fuel for those who do not approve of re-taking the ships by force.
