Nov 12 Update: I’ve been informed by crew relatives on some details of hijack and kidnap – pirates attacked and hijacked supply tug (IMO 9418767, dwt 2319), using the ship as their mother ship. They attacked two tankers in process of bunkering, from ARK TZE. LPG tanker BW FRIGG (IMO 9733337, dwt 54446) broke off moorings and managed to escape, while ANUKET AMBER was boarded and hijacked. Initial plan was to siphon fuel from ANUKET AMBER into local coastal cargo ship, but that ship being captured by some other forces, pirates couldn’t steal the cargo. So they decided to kidnap crew instead. When tanker was released and reached Lome, Togo, the remaining crew were restricted in their communications via Internet. No updates on developing story with 12 kidnapped crew (8 from ANUKET AMBER and 4 from ARK TZE) – understood release talks should go on. https://www.fleetmon.com/maritime-news/ ... pensation/ | ||
