Maritime Accident News

Pirates hijack another vessel off Somalia


Posted on Nov 30, 2009

An oil tanker bound for the U.S. was hijacked off the coast of Somalia.  The tanker, the M/V Centaurus, had a crew of 28 aboard.  It was bound for New Orleans, Louisiana.  This year, pirates have captured more than 50 vessels off Somalia, and are currently detaining 12 vessels.

The Vujasinovic & Beckcom law firm represents several individuals who were held hostage by pirates when the Maersk Alabama was hijacked earlier this year (and this same vessel was attacked again recently, but the new security measures repelled the attack). 

V&B attorney Brian Beckcom recently spoke out concerning the increasing trend of pirate attacks in this region of the world. 

If you need help after a maritime accident or Jones Act case, please contact the experienced maritime law and Jones Act attorneys at Vujasinovic & Beckcom.
