A joint operation by the Coast Guard and Gujarat Police neutralise live grenade lodged in a sea-tanker and averted a major maritime disaster on March 6, reports The Hindu. The tanker was registered in Greece. According to an official spokesman of the Coast Guard, the operation in mid-sea was undertaken in the morning following information that a live Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) was lying in the accommodation structure of the tanker. The tanker, which set sail from Antwerp on March 4, was on its way to Sikka port in Jamnagar District of Gujarat. About 400 nautical miles away from Porbandar, the ship was attacked by pirates equipped with small arms and RPGs. One RPG hit the accommodation structure of the ship but did not explode. All the crew members on board were safe.

Somali pirates, on March 9 freed all crew members of a hijacked ship M.V. Rak Afrikana including 11 Indians, who have since been shifted to a Spanish naval ship, according to The Hindu. However, the fate of six Indians aboard another hijacked vessel M.V. Suez still hangs in the balance even as its owner has been persuaded by the Egyptian government to hold negotiations. The Indian Navy and the Consulate in Dubai had requested the Spanish Navy to use its vessel located near Afrikana to rescue the 11 Indian crew members. Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said all of them were safe aboard the Spanish naval ship.

In a breakthrough in anti-piracy operations, the Indian Navy intercepted a mother vessel of Somali pirates in the Arabian Sea about 700 nautical miles off Kochi on March 12 and rescued 13 crew members apart from arresting 61 pirates, according to The Hindu. The operation was executed by the fast attack craft INS Kalpeni based at the Southern Naval Command, Kochi. The intercepted vessel called Vega 5 is a 24-metre-long trawler owned by the Mozambican company Efripel, and it was hijacked by the Somali pirates on December 28. They were using this fishing vessel as the mother vessel for carrying out piracy operations since. The vessel has been destroyed in the anti-piracy operations.

Security Agencies have informed the Government that dead ships in Indian waters are causing Security threat. The Naval Intelligence had much earlier warned of the ship breaking industry being run on hawala (illegal money transfer) money with cash buyers operating as fronts. The intelligence had noted that a large number of cash buyers are Pakistani nationals based in London and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). "Due to large profit margins, the Dawood group appears to have invested heavily in cash buyers thus having a stake in most deals," it had recorded.

The Indian Navy captured a 'hijacked' Iranian flagged cargo vessel, Nafis-1 on August 15 with nine persons on board off the Mumbai coast following intelligence inputs that it may be carrying arms, ammunition and contraband, reports The Times of India. Two AK-47 rifles and a pistol were recovered from the ship. It had five Yemenis, two Tanzanians, one Kenyan and one Somalian citizen on board. Further Defence Spokesperson Manohar Nambiar said. "It is not yet clear whether all of them are crew members on this Iranian-flagged ship, whether all are pirates or only some of them are pirates. All have been detained”.

Despite the repeated announcements made by the Government to revamp the country's entire coastal security architecture, the progress made in development of the infrastructure of the Indian Coast Guard, till date is far below the expected level, The Times of India reported. According to reports, at present the force has only 106 "surface units'', including just six advanced and 11 other offshore patrol vessels, and 51 "air units" comprising 28 Dornier surveillance aircraft, 19 Chetak and four Dhruv helicopters. Moreover, it has just 1,714 officers, 9,196 enrolled personnel and 1,553 civilians. This when at least triple those numbers are required to effectively protect India's vast 5,422-km coastline, 1,197 islands and 2.01 million sq km of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Ministry of Defence officials, on their part, say plans are afoot to ensure Coast Guard can increase its force levels to around 200 ships and 100 aircraft by 2018 to effectively tackle its operational tasks, which includes piracy and the terror threat emanating from sea. In the short-term, three more Coast Guard stations will come up at Dahanu, Androth and Krishnapatnam to add to the existing 31, apart from a new regional HQ (north-east) and a station at Kolkata. "Since 2009, an additional 4,300 posts have been sanctioned to strengthen the Coast Guard. The force will also get 12 more Dorniers soon,'' said an official.

An Indian warship on November 11 intercepted three boats with 26 Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden and foiled an attack on merchant vessels, The Times of India reported. INS Sukanya detected five suspicious boats, speedily approaching the merchant vessels that the warship was escorting through the Internationally Recognized Transit Corridor. The warship immediately altered towards the suspicious vessels and challenged them. While two of them managed to escape, INS Sukanya successfully intercepted the remaining three and carried out boarding-and-search action. The Navy confiscated 14 AK-47 rifles, 31 magazines and 923 rounds from the boat along with grapnels, ladders and rope-handling gloves. This was the fifth successful anti-piracy operation conducted by INS Sukanya, during its patrol mission in the Gulf of Aden.

Replying to a question on threat to coastal security, Defense Minister A K Antony said there is no specific input in this regard but Government attaches utmost importance to nation's coastal security, reports Indian Express. On vigilance and surveillance of coastal areas, he said, "Both Navy and Coast Guard have been strengthened in terms of assets, equipments, manpower and infrastructure in coastal states and island territories." The measures to strengthen coastal security include improving surveillance mechanism and enhanced patrolling following an integrated approach, he said. Antony said the Navy, Coast Guard, Coastal Police, Customs and other stakeholders in coastal security conduct regular joint operational exercises to check effectiveness of their approach for securing coastal areas, including the island territories. On collection of intelligence, he said, "Intelligence mechanism has been streamlined with creation of Join Operation Centers and multi-agency coordination mechanism. Other measures include setting up of a chain of coastal radar stations covering entire coastline and the islands."
