Harbour tour 4 December, 2 pm
What does piracy have to do with the plunder of fish off the coast of Somalia? Who is using Somali waters as a dumping ground? What is the story with the weapons on the captured MS Faina? Who are the young men from Somalia? What does 'security' mean at the gulf of Aden?
This harbour trip shines a light on the political background of the current trial.
