The pirates around the Gulf of Aden are pretty much non existence. They either move further down to the Seychelles island or more inland into Africa to avoid the coalition of Navies.

Important point equation but as soon as these missions stop they will be back

So the pressure needs to stay on until the region is stable again

West coast of Africa is seeing huge piracy I wonder if China will deploy there

With so many extra tankers PLAN can do two missions simultaneously if they wanted to

I think the PLAN decided to build those extra tankers because they realized they need to rather than want to.

Linyi 547 FFG takes part in evacuation of Chinese citizens in Yemen.

Chinese navy evacuates Chinese nationals from war-torn Yemen

China had started evacuating its 590 citizens from war-torn Yemen, Foreign Minister Wang Yi confirmed yesterday, as Arab leaders vowed to continue Saudi-led air strikes against Shiite rebels.

"We have about 500 compatriots in Yemen, and we are concerned about every one of them," China National Radio quoted Wang as saying on the sidelines of the Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan province.

"They will soon be on their way home safe and sound."

A port official and witnesses told Reuters that a Chinese warship had docked in the embattled Yemeni port city of Aden yesterday to evacuate Chinese diplomats and expatriate workers.

There were 590 Chinese nationals in Yemen, CNR reported, citing ambassador Tian Qi.

Wang said the foreign ministry activated its emergency response system on Thursday night when the air strikes started.

On Friday, China's naval escort mission in the Gulf of Aden off Somalia was abruptly suspended. The China Shipowners' Association, which announced the suspension, said it did not know when it would resume.

The mission's fleet comprises two guided-missile frigates - the Linyi and the Weifang - and the supply ship Weishanhu. Dozens of special forces soldiers are among the 700 or so crew, according to China News Service.

In 2011, more than 35,000 Chinese were evacuated from Libya during its civil war. Last summer, more than 1,000 Chinese nationals were withdrawn after new conflicts broke out.

India yesterday said it was preparing to fly out about 4,100 stranded citizens from Yemen. Pakistan said it had sent a jumbo jet and a naval frigate to evacuate its citizens and diplomatic staff.

More than 200 staff from the UN, embassies and other organisations were evacuated by air on Saturday, aid workers said.

They just send one ship (Type 054A) to evacuate about 590 people ?

I think they're doing more than one run, and they may have sent more than one ship.
They're not transporting everyone back to China remember, they're only transporting them to safe neighbouring countries first. In that sense they can potentially do two or more such transport runs a day.

They were transported to Djibouti which is literally right across the Gulf of Aden/Red Sea. From there, it will most likely be commercial flights for the evacuees.
