Motor Ship Sinar Kudus

Finished all 20 crew rescue mission Motor ship Sinar Kudus held hostage by Somali pirates for more than 46 days. TNI with PT. Ocean perform various rescue efforts which really guarded secret so as not to affect the acquisition process and endanger the lives of hostages. Motor ship Sinar Kudus hijacked in Somali waters while heading for the Suez Canal carrying cargo Fero With Nickel Worth USD. 1.4 Trillion. Government shortly after hearing news of piracy Motor ship Sinar Kudus direct a limited cabinet meeting to make efforts to release the joint command of troops consisting of Special Forces, Marines and Air Force to conduct the pursuit of which is on a pirate ship. But because the distance is too far so that the hijacked ship anchored trigger carried by the pirates to the area around Punt land, Somalia.

Rescue mission more difficult because the target has been successfully docked to the port along with dozens of other ships that also meet the same fate. According to the instructions of the president of the Navy's KRI two plus one helicopter sent to rescue mission can only perform monitoring from a safe distance while following the developments in the field. Not easy to paralyze the pirates on land because there are hostages of fear is hidden, otherwise the pirates will also get additional logistics from its parent so will further complicate the mission of liberation by the TNI. Others again when the ship was still in open waters where the pirates away from its mother and the presence of hostages still inside the vessel to be carried out immediately intercept action.

On the Punt land of the pirates ransom submitted to PT. Ocean as the owner of Motor ship Sinar Kudus a number of 2.6 million U.S. dollars in exchange for the lives of 20 crew taken hostage. State sovereignty does not want tarnished due to act of the pirates who considered criminal government decided there was no negotiation. But what is the policy of the government was bringing its own concerns of families in hostage 20 crew that pirates and hope the government does not perform as well as military options in Somalia urged the government to put forward the negotiations.


A choice of a real dilemma because on one hand the State's sovereignty in the stake against pirates and 20 crew lives become a top priority that must be saved as a government responsibility to protect the whole nation.

During negotiations the government closed the meeting any information out for the safety of the hostages, giving rise to many questions among the public that continues to follow the development of KM hijacking incident. Motor ship Sinar Kudus through print, electronic and internet. I was so quiet the information from the government's various criticism arising from various parties and government consider slow and did not care.

But now (05/03/2011) we see for themselves how the news media of a government effort to save Motor ship Sinar Kudus hijacked in Somalia waters. After the ransom was dropped on the deck Motor ship Sinar Kudus, the pirates immediately took it to be counted. And when the TNI has made sure the hostages are in a safe state so rapidly the military are using speedboats type Sea Rider with the help of a helicopter Bolcow to conduct pursuit. A fierce shootout between the two sides until finally four pirates fell dead at sea. That way the hostage drama ended already committed against Somali pirates Motor ship Sinar Kudus even takes 46 days for rescue operations is worth getting a very good appreciation from various circles and was considered quite successful. 46 days is still relatively short time than there are many other countries that on average up to 150 days are still unable to free up ships.

Let me slow but sure, that is reasonable given expression to the rescue Motor ship Sinar Kudus. Who else if not a joint TNI Kopassus soldiers, Marines and Air Force that we are proud of. Slow, but full of mature strategy. All forms of the possibility of completely thought out, because make no mistake we face are the pirates who have experienced and have equipment that is no less far advanced. in terms of our battle-field was still not familiar. But our military is not his name if not reliable in battle. Anyway salute 1000 thumbs plus TNI pride for us ..
