Somali pirates(海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly 1,200 miles off the Somali coast,the farthest­off­shore attack to date,an officer said Tuesday.
Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻) by warships off the Somali shore.The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force,said a spokesman.
The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”.
“Once they start attacking that far out,you're not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,”said an officer,Roger Middleton.“Once you're that far out,it's just the Indian Ocean,and it means you're looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia,from Asia to South Africa.”
“This is the farthest robbing to date.They are now operating near the Maldives and India”.said another officer.
The three ships—the MV Prantalay 11,12,and 14—had 77 members on board in total.All of them are Thai,the spokesman said.Before the Sunday robbing,pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors.
Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments.Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships,the success rate(率) has gone down,though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.

星期二有官员称：在距索马里海岸约1200英里处,发生了一起海盗劫持事件.海盗劫持了3艘泰国渔船,船上有77名船员.这是迄今为止海盗作案离岸最远的记录.
海盗作案地向东南海域（深入）是为了避开沿海日渐增多的军舰巡航.发言人称,周日的劫持事件发生在距国际联军护航区600英里外.
（发言人说）发生在海洋深处的劫持事件充分说明,联合护航对于遏制海盗“成效显著”.
“远距离作案后,你很难再将这些海盗同索马里海域或索马里地区联系在一起.”政府官员罗杰·米德林顿称.“这样远的距离,已经属于印度洋海域.这也意味着你们所要关注的将是海湾与亚洲、亚洲与南部非洲的贸易航线.”
“这是迄今为止最远的海盗劫持事件.海盗开始在印度和马尔代夫附近出没.”另一位官员说道.
发言人称,遭遇劫持的三艘渔船——MV Prantalay 11号,12号和14号共有77名船员.都是泰国籍.在周日劫持事件发生前,海盗手里共扣留11艘船、228名水手.
尽管海盗抢劫得手次数与往年相比并未减少,但由于护航力量以及船只自身保卫力量的加强,劫持成功率大为下降.因此,过去一年里,为得到更多的赎金,海盗袭击事件明显增加.
