Somali-based pirates have hijacked yet another ship; the Bahamas-flag, 4,980 gt general cargo vessel, CEC Future. The ship's owner, Danish-based CEC Clipper says the mainly Russian crew are believed to be unharmed and that it is in close touch with the “relevant authorities”.
As with most other hijackings the ship was boarded in broad daylight on Friday. A company statement said: “Clipper crew is instructed on how to react if a vessel is hijacked.” It added: “It has to be remembered that in the vast majority of hijacking cases the crew will be released unhurt after some time.”
