Ship with 25 Indians hijacked in Gulf of Aden
Mumbai/Kuala Lumpur: In yet another hijacking of a cargo ship, heavily-armed Somali pirates on Friday seized a chemical tanker with 25 Indians among the 31 crew in the Gulf of Aden.
The hijacking came barely two weeks after ‘M T Stolt Valor,’ which was seized on September 15 along with an 18-member crew, was released by the pirates. The fate of another seven Indians on board the Hong Kong-registered ‘Delight,’ captured by the pirates last week, remained unclear.
Besides having 25 Indians aboard, the Liberian-registered cargo ship ‘M T Biscaglia’ had three Bangladeshis, two Britons and an Irish national among the crew, Directorate General of Shipping in Mumbai said.
The vessel, which was sailing between Indonesia and Europe, was seized in the Gulf of Aden and now headed for an unknown destination after the armed hijackers took control of it. Its last port of call was Dumai in Indonesia. — PTI
