Last Voyage of Enrica Lexie OR Once Bitten Twice Shy

The Last Voyage of Enrica Lexie.  OR  Once Bitten Twice Shy.
It is sure that Dolphin Tankers will think twice before sending any of their merchant ships to the Arabian Sea.  Any ship entering from Red sea has law on port side and outlaw on starboard side. It is always better for any ship to avoid both. The difference between law and outlaw is only in the apparel. While law is attired in uniform the outlaws are uniformly attired just in an underwear.  Once you get into the clutches of either your fate is more or less sealed. Unless you pay ransom there is no way of escape. When outlaws demand ransom bluntly law demand it in words couched in legal jargon.  Of course if in the captivity of outlaws one can at least dream of US Marines landing  where ever you are and rescuing you. But if in the clutches of other no such hopes.  Only hope is paying up the ransom which is normally equal to the cost of the ship. That is you buy your own ship from the law. In short you will be sailing between Schylla and Charribdis.
Considering all these it was decided to take the age old route via Cape of Good Hope when one want to go from Europe to far east. After all Vasco De Gama and many illustrious people have taken that route. Even Saint Thomas.
