Greek Super Oil-tanker Seized Off Somalia 71 days ago
(RTTNews) - Pirates seized a large Greek-flagged cargo ship in the Indian Ocean Sunday while carrying crude oil from the Gulf to the US port of New Orleans.
Nine Somali pirates attacked the super oil-tanker 'Maran Centaurus' with small arms 750 nautical miles north-east of the Seychelles and about 800 nautical miles off the Somali coast, reports quoting the Ministry of Merchant Marine said Monday.
The pirates took its 28-member crew hostage and forced them sail towards Somalia.
Sixteen of the crew are Filipinos, nine Greeks, two Ukrainians and one Romanian.
The Greek frigate Adrias, part of the EU Naval task force in the Indian Ocean, was alerted and is chasing the ship, the Ministry added.
Another Greek-owned vessel, the Maltese-flagged 'Ariana,' was released by pirates last week.
The tanker, owned by Athens-based Kristan Navigation, is believed to be one of the largest yet seized by Somali pirates.
Pirates are now holding a dozen ships and more than 260 hostages, demanding multi-million-dollar ransoms for their release. Most of the gangs are based in northern Somalia's Puntland region.
The pirates have extended their venture moving further out to the Indian Ocean.
