New high-speed catamarans have been started to construct in Canada, dedicated especially to accompany ships through pirate areas. The new ships will be made by Trawlercat Marine Designs Company which searches for new partners to build such ships. It seems that they are going to find new partners soon, since the British are interested in the project. The group of 20 ships could be accompanies by 5 such armed catamarans. The escort could have about 30 people in it. The company takes 20 ships because in such numbers ships are crossing the Suez Channel. After crossing the Channel, the ships could meet their escort. Transport ships would be put in three lines, surrounded by five catamarans. Such an escort through the pirate zones reminds of Second World War. Back then, escort ships were used to protect ships sailing through the Atlantic Ocean from the so-called wolf packs of Nazi Navy. There are two options for escort ships. They are divided by their color. The escort ships are going to be painted in yellow and orange, bearing an open unwelcome statement for the pirates.
