Razor Wire may Stop Pirates

(Version anglaise seulement)
One of the tools used to keep people from breaking out of prison is the answer to keeping the outlaws of the high seas from climbing on board, a Danish shipping executive says.

The same razor wire that tops prison walls and fences can be strung along deck railings to make an effective, low-cost foil to pirates, says Per Gullestrup, chief executive of Danish Clipper Projects.

In the shipping lanes off Somalia, poor, young men approach vessels with speedboats, scrambling on board with hooks, ropes and ladders, often wearing thin T-shirts, shorts or light pants and sandals.

"I dare the pirates to crawl over razor wire in the clothes they wear," said Gullestrup. "If everyone would do this, I think we could put a dent into piracy at a very low cost," he said.
