Shipping body seeks more naval surveillance

National Shipping Board, an apex advisory body to India's Ministry of Shipping, on Friday sought a more proactive patrolling by the Indian Navy along the piracy ridden Gulf of Aden. The Indian Navy Warship, INS Tabar, sank a pirate vessel off the Somali coast after gunfire on Tuesday. It was the third successful operation of the naval ship against the pirates in the gulf this month.
