Pirates have hijacked a tanker with more than 20 crew on board in the Gulf of Aden near Somalia, a global maritime watchdog has said.
A distress signal was received and the ship is now thought to be en route to coastal waters near Somalia.
The Malaysian-owned tanker is carrying crude palm oil and is thought to have a mostly Malaysian and Filipino crew.
Pirate attacks on vessels and yachts sailing the major shipping route close to Somalia have surged recently.
No direct contact has been made with the captain of the ship, said the International Maritime Bureau Piracy Reporting Centre.
But the Malaysian International Shipping Corporation, which owns the vessel, is said to be expecting a ransom demand once it is anchored in coastal waters.
Tuesday night's hijacking was the fourth in this area in the past few weeks, the International Maritime Bureau said.
Somalia has not had a functioning national government since 1991 and has suffered continuing civil strife.
In June, the UN Security Council voted to allow countries to send warships into Somalia's waters to tackle piracy.

Because no CONCORD turned up and autopwned them?
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

They chose to balance that with permadeath instead of ship insurance and clones.

I thought it was 0.0? Or did CCP change Somalia's sec status in the last patch?
The Python Cartel is recruiting low sec pirates! |

I hear that it is infact in 1.0 sec and concord (america) had its response time lowered, but have issued the following statement ''If you continue to steal our oil you tards, we shall unleash our DDD (nuke) or your ass" GW bush was being his usual sensitive self at this time! CCP are looking into this but no one wants to remove concord atm.........shame rly

lets hope so
honestly, they need to give freighters or something a naval gun or SOMETHING even a small one, like a 5" gun or something, that thing would rip through one of their little wooden motor boats
then put a grenade launcher on it to so you can blast the dam survivors

Edited by: Stormwind Bloodfeather on 03/09/2008 23:06:26 Don't negotiate, just blast the freighter and sink it, pirates and crew and cargo. That will send the proper message to them.
"We don't give a flying F*&k who you are or who is onboard that ship, Hijack a ship, we sink it. No negotiations, and no ransom for you to collect, just a quick and hopefully painful change of spatial address"
Edit* Do that a few times and problem solved.
Have a nice day.
