Hong Kong-registered Chipolbrok Sun was chased by two pirate speedboats in the Gulf's northern region, Zhai Jiugang of the China Maritime Search and Rescue Centre was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua news agency. The captain assembled the crew at the stern to fight off the pirates and contacted the International Maritime Bureau and two warships in nearby waters for assistance, the report said. The Chipolbrok Sun, owned by the Chinese-Polish Joint Stock Shipping Company, managed to shake off its assailants half an hour after first sighting them, the report said, giving no further details. China warned Somali pirates last week it was prepared to use force, having dispatched warships to the Gulf of Aden to combat a wave of piracy that has disrupted international shipping. About 100 ships -- seven of them Chinese -- have been attacked by Somali pirates since the beginning of the year. The UN Security Council gave nations a one-year mandate in December to act inside lawless Somalia to stop the rampant piracy in the Gulf of Aden, part of the Suez Canal route from Europe to Asia. Two Chinese destroyers and a supply ship set sail last week -- the first time in recent history that the nation has deployed ships on a potential combat mission well beyond its territorial waters.
