Repossession

A Liquefied Natural Gas carrier is hijacked in transit through the Gulf of Aden by Somali pirates. A ransom of fifty million dollars is demanded and negotiations begin with the insurers. Concerned about the crew and their families the ship’s owner looks for a back-up plan and is given the name of a discrete Private Military Company who have a reputation for resolving difficult situations. Fine Line Solutions are consulted and hired to do a covert reconnaissance. The recce report is favorable and, as ransom negotiations drag on, the decision is made to repossess the vessel and release the crew. The “Repossession” of the ship, its crew and cargo are effected but a number of small discrepancies give cause for unease. When a supposedly dead chief engineer makes contact with the shipping line alarm bells ring. This was not a simple ship-jacking for money - a deadly threat is revealed and the guys of FLS are the only resource in place to prevent a looming disaster.
