Terrorists fired on a Chinese freighter

On September 2, the Chinese embassy in Egypt reported that the Chinese cargo ship 31 August, which had been bombarded by terrorists, had successfully left the Suez Canal, mil.news.sina.com.cn writes today.

According to the Xinhua News Agency, the Cosco Asia container ship, flying the flag of Panamania, came under fire. The vessel was launched in 2007 year, load capacity 10 thousand tons, cost 1 billion yuan. Egyptian media reported that the attack was carried out on 31 in August at about 13 hours of the day. The attack was decisively stopped by the Egyptian military, three boats were arrested, armed with machine guns, the attackers were detained. “The terrorists shot at the ship, trying to threaten the ships passing through the canal and undermine the safety of the waterway,” said an Egyptian military source.

After the removal of President Mohammed Mursi from power, the country is once again engulfed in unrest. Egyptian authorities have increased security measures in the area. However, there is no certainty that the armed supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood organization will not continue attacks on ships sailing through the Suez Canal.

It would be better to fire the Qatari tanker with LNG. It would be possible to bring down beer from Gazprom. In general, when the catavasia began in the Sinai, I suspected that this would happen. Indirectly, this is in our hands.

Still would! soon, most ships will sail along the Northern Sea Route.

Judging by the video, they are shooting from the shore, aboard the ship. Perhaps they wanted to flood in the middle of the canal. Something of boats with terrorists whose detention the Egyptian military reports is not observed.

I think a colleague that with RPGs and machine guns, it’s unrealistic to flood! If the RCC only ... or a torpedo

Rather, the North will soon become the only one

You mean that it’s not the first time we have Suez cleared?

Shoot your hand? Even allah-in-bars are not so dumb.
This incident is the first call to China where its place is. Although the time was not chosen well, China can answer.

[a52333]

Actually, if without humor, this is a call to Egypt. His income article.

If you get from an RPG to a gas carrier, then you can get to Qatar from Egypt in a couple of seconds!
In general, strange strange such terrorists. Filming their actions - direct ordering!

[Avenger711]

Terrorism, by definition, window dressing, if no one knows about the attack, then where is the terror?

[andrei332809]

oh, it's in vain that these "brothers" roar at China. no matter how worse it turns out, China will not extradite them to the democrats for trial, it will shorten it by itself

[a52333]

So yes, but someone in this mess will now figure out who it is. Chaos, it is chaos in Africa. They wanted to let the "gin out of the bottle", here you go. And for Egypt, Suez is like Gazprom for us. Well, there are now army generals rage. Anyway, they themselves are to blame. You had to think with your head. when Mursi was supported.

[nikcris]

Chinese yuan save - Panama flag.

[ka5280]

Now everyone is saving. Sov.kom.Flot. voobshe in Cyprus sits.

[ka5280]

It seems to me that shooting in Suez is on hand to insurers, just like Somali pirates. Insurance rates will increase, and this, an additional loot in your pocket.

This is this in the picture TEN thousand tons?
Magazines only baPki know how to count, looking briefly at the thickness of the pack.

I agree, Colleagues. I was somehow embarrassed by the photograph. Based on visual data, its width is at least 1/3 of the length of the Alexander Fadeev container ship, which I once worked on (I won’t talk about other vessels - the principle of architecture is different). Deadweight - about 6500 tons (I do not perceive the carrying capacity as a characteristic of a vessel very adequately. There are a lot of characteristics by which a specialist can assess the capabilities of a vessel. If anyone is interested, I’ll tell you. But, I’ve been distracted.) There are generally accepted proportions of the ratio of overall characteristics ships (with certain tolerances). Taking into account the tolerances, the deadweight of the steamer should be an order of magnitude greater. Actually DWT (Deadweight): 113900 tons. I will not dispute the data of other colleagues - they were obtained from different sources and from different regulated precipitation. The remaining data of the steamer coincide. Not to the chagrin of the author of the article - I am pleased to read most of the materials on this site. There are controversial opinions, there are interesting judgments, there is new information for me. Please, be somehow closer to reality in detail. And about the results of the shelling - I would not mind if the Chinese neighbors answered with an eye for an eye. I, a young sailor in the 70s, were somehow very patriotically tuned by our planes, chasing Orion from my steamboat. Then we did not give our own, we did not abandon our friends and did not betray our own. Maybe, I’m not right. My opinion is subjective.

[ka5280]

Such information on the vessel is issued by Comrade Google.

[nikcris]

I don’t know what it gives out, but offhand containers with not fully loaded lie on the deck 5-6 tons.
PS If Shto, then Volgo-Don on the Volga and Don is about 5000 tons.

Then there would be no one to drink beer :-)

[a52333]

One more, three less. Good idea, especially if it sinks.

[novobranets]

If such a fool sinks, it will be easier to dig out a "detour" nearby than to get it.

[Petrovich44]

If it were, then these are not loshars-terrorists, but US saboteurs.

This is a great excuse for being in the Chinese Navy region.

[rugor]

Good advertisement for the Northern Sea Route - it’s safer there

[Sochi]

It is impossible to disable a dry cargo ship. So, either the arrows are complete idiots, or someone is fanning a fire ... Who is now noticed to list inappropriately.

[Chukcha]

Hmm ... two shots at such a tonnage - hooliganism, no more, or some kind of provocation.
Maybe not everything was shown on the video?

[Siberian]

Chinese ship flying the Panama flag. We can instigate them for something they want, or to the noise like many turned up.

[GDP]

Judging by the flag on the video, the handiwork of radical Islamists is most likely an Alkaid. Looks like they make it clear do not panic inappropriately ... Maybe something valuable for the enemies of the Islamists was taken there?

[novobranets]

It was more a warning than a terrorist attack.

I remembered!
The Chinese themselves are masters at the LAST 1121 Chinese warning

PS Who does not know - google

[TekhnarMAF]

And in vain they touch the sleeping "dragon" -He can wake up!

[novobranets]

The Chinese say: Do not pull the sleeping dragon by the mustache.
