   1. THE SOMALI PIRATES PRESENTLY HOLD NO HOSTAGE
      VESSELS OR CREWS WITH THE RECENT RELEASE OF THE M/V
      LIN 1 AND THE F/V DONG WON 628. THE LAST PIRATE ATTACK
      OR SHIP SEIZURE BY PIRATES OFF THE SOMALI COAST
      OCCURRED 04 APR, FOUR MONTHS AGO. THIS SIGNIFICANTLY
      IMPROVED STATE IS DOUBTLESS DUE IN GREAT PART
      TO THE COMBINATION OF COALITION MARITIME FORCES' EFFORTS
      TO SUPPRESS THE PIRATES ACTIVITIES AND THE INCREASED
      AWARENESS AND ALERTNESS OF COMMERCIAL VESSELS TRANSITING
      THE AREA.
   2. COMMERCIAL VESSELS TRANSITING THE TRADITIONAL SEA LANES
      OFF THE COAST OF SOMALIA SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE AWARE OF
      CURRENT PIRACY ACTIVITIES IN THE EVENT THEY RESUME. WHEN
      CALLING ON PORTS IN SOMALIA VESSELS MAY STILL FACE SOMEWHAT 
      HIGHER RISKS THAN THOSE TRANSITING SEA LANES OFF THE COAST.
   3. FISHING VESSELS ALSO FACE A HIGHER RISK THAN VESSELS
      TRANSITING THE COAST, DUE TO THEIR SMALLER SIZE, THEIR
      CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE COAST, AND SOME ONGOING SHIFTS
      INTERNAL TO SOMALIA AS TO WHO MIGHT CONTROL AND ENFORCE
      FISHERIES WITHIN SOMALIAS EEZ.
