Somali pirates take down Saudi tanker


Posted on Mar 03, 2010

14 crewmembers aboard a Saudi tanker have been taken hostage by Somali pirates.

According to the European Union Naval Force (EUNAVFOR), the 5,130 ton Al Nisr Al Saudi was outside of the area designated for patrol by warships when it was hijacked. The crewmembers’ nationalities are not known and the captain is Greek. All aboard are said to be safe.

The fuel oil carrier was empty of cargo and was reportedly taken to the pirate enclave of Garacad, Somalia.
