Allowed the canine search teams to reach the scene of the catastrophe "At a good time, in the first 48 hours, so the chances of finding survivors are very high."Although the overall balance of the presence of security guards on the tuna vessels is positive because since the operation was launched there have been no boardings or kidnappings, and the few attacks suffered by pirates have been satisfactorily repelled , however the presence of this more of fifty blackwater on ships is causing unwanted side effects. Direct sources familiar with the situation in somali waters, consulted by el confidencial digital, say that there are mass desertions of watchmen, who decide to abandon the mission, which in principle had a four-month deadline until march. A few days ago, it was reported in these pages of the return to spain of six professionals taking advantage of the medical leave of a colleague – see news -. The casualties, according to the sources to which ecd has had access , are increasing and the company in charge of guaranteeing the safety of the tuna vessels, segur ibérica , has had to urgently look for guards who want to carry out a relief that was not planned during this month of january.
Many have grown tired of so much water,” they say from somalia. But unforeseen returns are not the only problem on board spanish tuna vessels. These are some of the situations suffered by private security guards who are working in indian ocean waters: -- on Special Database some vessels, the keepers (four per tuna boat) have had coexistence problems , both among themselves and with the fishing boat crew. There have even been fights, with bare fists , between members of the same security team. -- some of the embarked personnel have decided to return to spain because they are not receiving what they were promised in spain. The reason is that, when a ship leaves port for repairs and does not go out to work for several days, the guards do not receive any money. The sources consulted give the example of a security guard who has returned because he has only collected 600 of the more than 5,000 gross euros that he agreed with the company. In this case, segur ibérica responds that, when the ship is operational, they will contract its services again. “of course, none of those who have left plan to return to somalia,” the same sources add.
The guards also complain that the shipowners do not keep them informed. There is no rapport , and it is not well defined who is in charge of the ship (according to the law of the sea, the captain). “each team does its job as it pleases,” they denounce. This situation is trying the patience of some shipowners, who do not want to sail with guards who create problems for them on board. -- the uniforms they have been given are not the most appropriate: the dark blue field suit they wear "Is very hot." they are “ being roasted alive ,” they say from the waters of the indian ocean. -- the tactical weapons available also leave much to be desired, according to security team sources: they do not have tactical vests ; the daggers are of very poor quality, “about a hundred”, and there is only one per ship; and the weapon chargers (g-36) “we have to carry them in holsters that hang from the belt.” -- during last christmas , some security guards whose ships were docked in port had to pay for the plane to spain out of their own pockets, to spend the holidays with their families. Segur ibérica didn't even consider it, which has increased the discomfort .
