Somali pirates hijack another Greek ship
2008-09-23
(SomaliNet) A maritime official said Somali pirates hijacked another Greek ship off the lawless Horn of Africa nation on Sunday in the latest of a wave of attacks.

Head of the Kenya-based East African Seafarers' Assistance Programme, Andrew Mwangura, said the MV Capt Stephanos had 17 Filipino crew, one Chinese and a Ukrainian on board. However, no other details were immediately available.

So far this year, heavily-armed pirates from Somalia have seized more that 30 vessels off the coast of their country, making its waters the most dangerous in the world.

Last Wednesday, Somali gunmen hijacked another Greek ship, the Centauri. The pirates are holding more than a dozen vessels and more than 200 crew members for ransom.
