i think it won't be long before there will be a permanent presence of some kind of naval force in that corridor, that's a major shipping lane going up to the Suez Canal, and the alternative around South Africa takes too long to be useful ...

maybe a carrier and a couple of frigats, there are enough countries who will start getting antsy about this pirating, the US obviously won't, as it's not in their interest (not intended as a diss, just stating facts, this is a Euro thing), so the Brits, Spanish, French or even Ruskies will probably set up a task force and each will take turn...
