Somali Sea-Shifta Free Yemeni Vessel For Ransom
Somali Sea-Shifta Free Yemeni Vessel For Ransom (ecop-marine / ecoterra)
Somali pirates have freed a Yemeni ship with 11 surviving sailors of a 12 men crew, which was hijacked on 24 March in Somali waters, Yemen’s Interior Ministry confirmed on Monday.
FV AZ ZABANIYAH had left al-Shiher port in Hadramout in late February, was captured off Somalia’s northern coast, while one of its 12 crew members was killed during the attack.
Security authorities in Yemen’s south-east province of Hadramout confirmed that the capture took place while the Yemeni fishing vessel was in the Somali territorial waters. Among the 12 crew members were eight Yemeni fishermen, two Somalis and two Tanzanian nationals, while Othman Mohamed of Tanzania was killed during the operation.
The vessel along with its 11 crew members was then held in Somali captivity, while the Yemeni security authorities tried to achieve a release.
The owner of the ship now stated to Yemeni security services that his ship was freed after negotiations with the pirates who demanded US$5 million in ransom for the release of the ship. “One of the crew, a Tanzanian person, was killed by the pirates”, he confirmed.
He added that he had paid the $5 million ransom to the Somali pirates, pointing out that the ship with 11 people of its crew has headed to Yemen.
Analysts wonder what the vessel carried in order to achieve such a high ransom. “Though the larger fishing vessels easily can rip from the seas a tuna catch valued such much, we feel that there was something else carried on that fishy boat,” a regional analyst stated. A United Nations imposed sanctions regime for Somalia and Eritrea – including an arms embargo – provides rich opportunities for blockade breaking vessels.
The analyst also reported that a South Korean chemical Tanker MT DL COSMOS, which was missing after an unsuccessful piracy attack off Tanzania, arrived now safely in Mombasa, Kenya. “They just maintained a communications black-out,” he said.
