Absalon har standset 88 pirater

Selv om det danske krigsskib Absalon med sin 120 mand store besætning langt fra den største af krigsskibene i Aden Bugten, har det uden sammenligning været det mest effektive skib til piratbekæmpelse.

Af de 250 pirater, der er blevet stoppet i farvandet mellem Yemen og Somalia, siden Absalon for snart otte måneder siden indledte sit togt, har det danske skib standset de 88.

"Jeg vil ikke afvise, at vi på et senere tidspunkt skal have et dansk skib herned igen. Men situationen er også lige nu den, at kassen er tom. Vi har ikke penge til yderligere internationale missioner inden for forsvarsministeriets budget i resten af året", siger forsvarsminister Søren Gade til stiften.dk

Absalons mission slutter om en måned, hvorefter Absalon vender efter tilbage til Danmark, hvor skibet skal på værft til sit femårs-syn.

Ifølge Absalons chef, kommandør Dan Termansen, så har missionen været en succes.

Fra en kapring af kommercielle handelsskibe om ugen, er kun et enkelt skib blevet kapret siden nytår.
