  • A Captain's Duty
    That is the title of seafaring hero Captain Richard Phillips' book - soon to be a Hollywood blockbuster starring Forrest Gump to Saving Private Ryan American actor Tom Hanks - in which he harrowingly recounts the hijacking of the containership Maersk Alabama in April 2009, and his family life-threatening decision to offer himself as a hostage to gun-toting Somali pirates, thus saving his crew from a similar fate. This enthralling firsthand account of danger on the pirate-ruled high seas, begs the question: are we asking far too much of our seafaring elite to expect them unaided to defend their ships from these ruthless maritime bandits?
