MT BOW SAGA attacked by Pirates in Gulf of Aden News

8/3/2010 13:11
Early this morning Tuesday 3 August, our MV BOW SAGA was attacked by pirates while proceeding westbound in the International Recommended Transit Corridor in the Gulf of Aden. She immediately sent out a distress call that she was under attack and an EU NAVFOR unit that was close by responded. The attack was launched by a skiff with 7 people and shots were fired at the superstructure and the bridge. MT BOW SAGA had adopted Best Management Practice security measures and was conducting various counter actions including evasive manoeuvring and deployment of water to prevent boarding. Upon receiving her distress call, EU NAVFOR ordered the closest warship, the Spanish frigate SPS VICTORIA to react to the incident. VICTORIA already had her helicopter in the air and was able to intervene only ten minutes after the call. The pirates subsequently stopped the attack and tried to flee. After warning shots, first from the helicopter and then from the warship VICTORIA, the pirates eventually stopped and the skiff was searched by a boarding team from VICTORIA. Weapons were found on the skiff. The MT Bow Saga is a chemical tanker of 40 085 Dwt build in 2007. She is flying Norwegian flag and the 29 crewmembers are all Filipinos. None of the crew was injured, the ship only suffered superficial damages and she continued her voyage.

Moin,
hier noch ein Foto der "MAGELLAN STAR" zum Bericht: http://images.vesseltracker.com/images/ ... 548177.jpg

Vesseltracker meldet dazu:

In a second attack in the Gulf of Aden at 0540 UTC (08h40 local time) on 08. September 2010 Antigua&Barbuda-flagged, 735-teu boxship MV MAGELLAN STAR was targeted and boarded by pirates in position 13 23 N 049 58 E. The vessel had delivered goods to Indonesia and was on her return voyage. The ships crew locked themselves in a safe room and requested for assistance. Apparently there is at present a stand-off between the pirates and navies, which could reach the scene. Further reports are awaited.

Container ship recaptured 12:19 9 SepContainer ship recaptured

US MARINES this morning recaptured the box ship Magellan Star from Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden, Fairplay was told.
Squads from the US amphibious warship Dubuque boarded and seized control of the German-owned, 735teu ship at 0500, a spokesman for the military interdiction force CTF-151 told Fairplay.
The pirates had taken the box ship early yesterday. No shots were fired by the boarding party, and nine pirates immediately surrendered, the spokesman said.
CTF returned control of the Antigua & Barbuda-flagged, Magellan-owned ship to its crew, who were unhurt.
The Turkish frigate Gokceada was first to arrive after Magellan Star issued a distress call yesterday morning. Dubuque and the US missile cruiser Princeton then arrived to provide support.
One report indicated today that the 11 crew members locked themselves into a citadel room when the pirates boarded.
