Whereas in the past most dhows were considered large when their cargo capacity was up to 1,000 tons today most of the dhows used in arms shipments have a cargo capacity of up to 5,000 tons.

Their sailing vessels were called pirate ships by Henry of Livonia in his Latin chronicles written at the beginning of the 13th century.

Approach channels were built in 1954, and a pier was built in 1956, which was mainly used by dhows.

The increased sophistication of traditional wooden dhows compounded by their lack of regulation and proper registration (at least in Somalia) has made them the mode of choice for arms embargo violators, in particular for arms originating from a neighbouring Gulf State.

Most of the ships and dhows come to Kismaayo from the United Arab Emirates, while the varied destinations of the ships and dhows include India, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

Gökçen was sent to Russia, together with seven male students, for an advanced course in glider and powered aircraft piloting.

The Monitoring Group has investigated arms shipments that were offloaded from container ships at a neighbouring country's seaport and transported to Somalia by a combination of road and dhows.

The predominant means of transport of the arms were by large, ocean going freighters, dhows and surface vehicles through the local road networks in the neighbouring States and Somalia.

Tourism Tourism has become a larger source of income in recent years, with many cruise ships and sailing yachts visiting the area (the only way to visit South Georgia is by sea there are no airstrips on the Islands).

Here he stayed for about two weeks in the wooden walled town as a guest of the sultan, and then the sultan provided him with supplies and sent him on his way on one of sultan's own junks to China.

In still air the polar curve shows that flying at the minimum sink speed enables the pilot to stay airborne for as long as possible and to climb as quickly as possible, but at this speed the glider will not travel as far as if it flew at the speed for the best glide.

It has also been reported to the Monitoring Group that some of the criminal groups using dhows to transport weapons from Yemen to Somalia reacted, for example, by dividing a single shipment of arms into smaller quantities and loading them on different dhows for transport across the Gulf of Aden to Puntland.
